ESM-10 measures the reference room temperature — typically installed in a living room, lounge, or office workspace. The signal is fed to a Danfoss ECL Comfort controller, which adjusts supply water temperature based on room temperature (when the application key enables room-sensor mode). Used where weather compensation alone is insufficient — e.g. buildings with significant solar gain, high thermal inertia, or uneven heating demand.

ESM-10 is for indoor use (−30…+50 °C range, 8-min time constant), while ESMT is for outdoor temperature (−50…+50 °C, 15-min inertia). Both are Pt1000, but their physical build and thermal inertia differ — they cannot be swapped without accuracy loss.
On an internal wall, 1.5 m above the floor, away from windows (≥1 m), radiators, ventilation grilles, direct sunlight, and heat-radiating devices (TV, computer). Ideally in a room that best represents the average building/apartment microclimate (e.g. the living room).
ECL Comfort 210/310 has dedicated room-sensor inputs (see the application key manual — typically S2 or S3 terminals). Wiring — 2-wire, cable up to 50 m using 2 × 0.75 mm² or 2 × 1.5 mm².
No. ESM-10 senses air (room) temperature — its 8-min time constant is far too slow for water pipe monitoring. For pipes use ESM-11 (surface-mounted) or ESMU (immersion).
