Who it’s for: licensed fridgies, service techs, and apprentices who need accurate, stable temperature data on Dixell XR-series controllers. Plug it in, route the 3.0m lead, and you’re back on the tools, no worries.
Key Features & Trade Benefits
- 3.0m over-moulded cable (thermoplastic, IP68) — reach deep into cases, ducts, or coolrooms without splicing; durable and bloody good against moisture.
- 10k NTC thermistor (EU-NTC curve) — the correct resistance curve for most Dixell XR controllers, delivering precise control and fewer call-backs.
- -40 to +110 °C operating range — suitable for freezers through to warm ambient sensing on service calls.
- Pre-wired 2-wire lead — true plug-and-play replacement to save site time.
- Compact probe head (≈ Ø5 × 20 mm) — easy to mount on coils, pipework or inside cabinets without fouling airflow.
Why This Probe Matters
When a sensor drifts, setpoints wander and product temps creep—energy bills climb and customers ring back. Swap in the NG6P-3.0 and restore confidence in your readings. Quick story: a Brisbane bottle-shop coolroom kept short-cycling after defrost. Tech swapped the suspect probe for an NG6P during a lunch rush—temps stabilised within the hour and fair dinkum, no more complaints that week.

Pro Tip
- Set the correct probe type: On Dixell XR controllers, ensure the input is configured for EU-NTC 10k to avoid offset errors.
- Placement: Avoid direct frost/defrost spray and dead-air corners; secure to the coil or in representative airflow. Use a dab of thermal paste and insulate if you’re sensing pipe temperature.
- Ingress protection: It’s IP68, but always route the cable with a drip loop and avoid pinch points at door gaskets.
Compatibility & System Info
Works with popular Dixell XR-series controllers that specify a 10k NTC probe, including XR20CX and XR60CX (check your controller manual). Probe is refrigerant-agnostic — suitable anywhere the controller expects 10k NTC (R32, R410A, R134a, CO systems, etc.).
Working around Sydney’s coastal humidity or hot back-of-house spaces in Brisbane? Route and secure the lead away from heaters, door hinges, and fan blades for clean, fast response.

FAQs
Will this work with my Dixell XR20CX?
Yes — the NG6P-3.0 is designed for XR-series inputs expecting a 10k NTC (EU-NTC) probe.
Is it suitable for freezer rooms?
Yes — the -40 °C lower limit makes it ideal for freezers, walk-ins, and refrigerated cabinets.
What if my controller uses a different curve?
Some controllers can be switched between probe types. If yours expects US-NTC or Pt1000, select the matching probe and setting to avoid errors.
