ESMT is the weather-compensation sensor — its primary role is reading outdoor temperature and delivering it to the heating controller, which then adjusts supply water temperature per the heating curve. Mounted on the north or north-west facade of the building, shielded from direct sunlight and heat sources (windows, ventilation grilles). Used in virtually every substation running Danfoss ECL Comfort 110 / 210 / 296 / 310.

Danfoss ECL Comfort controller inputs are designed solely for Pt1000 (platinum) characteristic. An NTC10K sensor produces completely wrong readings. Before choosing another manufacturer's equivalent — verify the sensor type in your controller's documentation.
Recommended up to 50 m using standard 2 × 1.5 mm² cable. For longer runs (up to 100 m) use a larger cross-section (2 × 2.5 mm²), otherwise wire resistance distorts the reading. In EMC-noisy environments use shielded cable, grounded on the controller side only.
Optimal location — north or north-west wall, at least 2 m above ground, at least 1 m away from windows / doors / ventilation grilles. Avoid direct sunlight, prolonged shade under overhangs, and positions above heat-radiating equipment (chimneys, AC outdoor units).
Not directly — Ouman uses NTC10K sensors (e.g. Ouman TMR40), whose characteristic differs from Pt1000. Ouman A203 / S203 / EH-800 require original Ouman sensors.
