Accessories
The ET Series Temperature sensors are thermistor probes that can be used easily with your
SmartReader Plus 8 for remote temperature measurements. The advantage of these probes
is that they can be used for a wide range of temperatures, are very versatile (they can be used
to record liquid or surface temperatures) and their small size permits them to be placed in
hard-to-get-at locations such as in ductwork or under pipe insulation.
For more information on choosing and using thermistor probes, refer to Appendix C
Thermistor Temperature Probes.
You can purchase additional screw-type terminal block connectors for your SmartReader Plus
8. These make it easy to permanently install sensors around buildings and systems. Simply
wire them to the unconnected blocks and when you are ready to collect data, you can simply
plug in your SmartReader 8 logger. For analysis, you can just unplug it again without having to
disconnect any sensors.
Other Applications
For information on how you can monitor resistance or switch status with your SmartReader
Plus 8, refer to Appendix A Measuring Resistance and Switch Status.
