Euroscan TX3 / RX3 recorders offer the possibility to connect up to 6 temperature sensors. Pins 1‐8 are accordingly marked with T1‐T6. Pins 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8 are signal inputs and pins 1 and 5 are internally connected to ground. The polarity of the sensor cable is not relevant. In the factory settings inputs 1 and 2 are activated and pre‐programmed as follows: T1 = return air, T2 = rear. Please note that a used input always has to be activated and configured in the parameter menu. Never use tinned wire ends in the phoenix connectors of the recorders. You can apply a ferrule on the stranded wire or fold back the stranded wires over the isolation and fully insert in the phoenix connector (so isolation included). 13 Installation & Operation Manual X3, PRO.020 ...
2.4.2 Temperature sensors Euroscan TX3 / RX3 recorders can only be used with Euroscan temperature sensors as supplied with the Euroscan package. Before installation, it is necessary to determine how many measurement points are required to retrieve the desired information. Only with an optimal choice of the number and position of the sensors a sensible conclusion can be drawn about the air temperature in an entire compartment. The following must be observed before planning the installation of the temperature sensors: ‐ The temperature sensor should not be mounted in a location without air circulation. ‐ The sensor position should be protected against bumping of load, doors, etc. ‐ The channel of the interior light must have a minimum distance of 0.5 m to the sensors. ‐ We recommend at least one sensor per compartment and also one sensor in the return air flow. The best position of a compartment sensor is in the middle under the ceiling at about 1/3 of the compartment length measured from the back. ‐ The compartment sensor should be mounted with the Euroscan protection guard, which will allow sufficient air circulation around the sensor. ‐ For future calibration requirements, it is advisable to allow enough spare cable to enable the sensor to be lowered to the floor. 14 Installation & Operation Manual X3, PRO.020 ...

Switched to battery 2 (+) (high) Switched to ground (‐) 3 (low) Digital input distinct between high levels and low levels around 5 volts. A voltage level lower than 4 volts is low level, a level higher than 6 volts is high level. The digital active can be matched to low or high level in menu 6 of the recorder. 2.4.4 GPS Please keep the following in mind when mounting a recorder with internal antenna or an external antenna: ‐ Always mount horizontally with the reception surface looking up. ‐ Do not choose a location covered by metal, metal containing components or paint. Also pay attention to windows in which metal film is processed. ‐ Mount in clear sight. ‐ Wiring should be free of obstacles, kinks or dents. This could be of influence to the performance of the reception antenna cable. ‐ Mount in an interference free location Testing of the GPS signal cannot be compared to reception on smart phones. These use the assisted GPS technology in which location detection is used via cell towers and WiFi. 16 Installation & Operation Manual X3, PRO.020 ...

Cables should be installed via watertight cable glands. This avoids humidity penetration into the box. For each cable a separate gland should be used unless you use a gland especially designed for more cables. Installation Instruction TX3: 1. Mark four holes at the front of the body in an easily accessible location (usually underneath the refrigerator unit to the right or left hand side). Then drill holes with a 10mm drill. 2. Insert the four rubber mounting nuts. Mount recorder using the four screws and washers provided (note metal washer to be located on the outside of the mounting lug fixed to the box). Ensure screws are screwed in tight. Use any available entrance for the temperature sensors. If no entrance is available, drill a hole large enough at suitable location through bulkhead to pass the temperature sensors through. Please make sure that the cable glands of the box show downwards. 3. Position sensor no. 1 to the return air (RET.AIR) usually next to the refrigerator sensor, but only if good airflow is around it, otherwise locate sensor onto grill. 4. Position sensor no. 2 at high level usually to the roof, either in the center or to the side, 2 ‐ 3 meters in from the rear doors. 5. Ensure all cables are installed neatly into plastic channels or similar. Ensure that there is at least 1 ‐ 2 meters of spare cable in channels, this will facilitate calibration. 6. Connect power cable through the 10A fuse provided, directly to the main vehicle or refrigerator battery, recorder will start recording automatically. 19 Installation & Operation Manual X3, PRO.020 ...

‐ Verification certificate ‐ A bowl containing crushed ice and demi water (only for freezing point test). Procedure The verification procedure should be performed within ±5°C of the operating temperature of the vehicle/trailer. For chilled transport, the ideal verification temperature is 0°C. Two different verification methods for temperatures exist: the first one is performed at 0°C (freezing point test) and the second one at all other temperatures. In both cases, each individual sensor is tested. The results are documented on the verification certificate, together with the serial number of each sensor. In order to successfully conduct this test, the recorder should be changed to single display for the selected sensor. In order to perform the test in a meaningful way, the sensor of the reference thermometer has to be connected with the vehicle sensor in a thermo‐conductive way. This can be achieved by directly binding them together using a cable tie. Freezing Point Test When conducting the freezing point test (0°C), the sensors are individually placed into a mixture of crushed ice and demi water. The sensors are immersed at least 10 cm into the crushed ice and demi water mixture, which should be stirred every 30 seconds, in order to provide an equal temperature distribution. When the temperatures have stabilized for at least 5 minutes, the values given by the recorder and the reference thermometer are filled onto the form, together with the serial numbers of the sensors. Other temperatures If a temperature verification other than 0°C is necessary, the test should be performed at a temperature of +/‐5C of the future operation temperature. Therefore, in case of vehicles transporting frozen products, the test should be undertaken at ‐20°C. The vehicle compartment should be cooled to the required temperature, and the cable to the reference thermometer, fed underneath the closed doors, with the instrument outside. When the temperatures have stabilized for at least 5 minutes, the values given by the recorder and the reference thermometer are filled onto the form, together with the serial numbers of the sensors. 55 Installation & Operation Manual X3, PRO.020 ...
