Temperature Sensor Control
The Temperature Sensor measures temperature changes ranging between 14ºF to 104ºF
(-10ºC to 40ºC). The External Temperature Probe, also immersible, extends the range of
temperature monitored to -40ºF and 140ºF (-40ºC and 60ºC). The Temperature Sensor
enables you to monitor the temperature of many environments such as a nursery,
greenhouse, computer room, bedroom, or a wine cellar.
The Temperature Sensor is not a thermostat. It only senses the when the temperature
change crosses your set threshold. For example, if you want to record when the
temperature falls to 32 degrees, if you place the sensor into an environment that is already
below 32 degrees, the sensor does not inform you. Only when the temperature falls past 32
degrees does the sensor notify you.
An entry is created in the event log if the new temperature reported by the device is
different than the current temperature, not outside the temperature range. Refer to
Log
on how to view this.
