Digital Fluid Temperature Sensor (TMP-DFT-SEN)

gly

AVTECH’s Digital Fluid Temperature Sensor monitors the
temperature of fluids in refrigerated and other environments
using a unique sensor housing. The temperature sensor is
sealed in a tube filled with propylene glycol, a non­conductive clear liquid with a low freezing/high boiling

col

point. The sensor returns the readings
of the propylene glycol so that you may
measure the consistent temperature held
by the fluid rather than the ups and

downs of the air moving around it.

With an operating range of -40º to

185º Fahrenheit (-40º to 85º

4"

Celsius), this “Plug and Play”

sensor provides values accurate to
+/- 0.125 degrees every 2 seconds to your Room Alert or
TemPageR monitor.

Install Your Digital Fluid Temperature Sensor

Do not use the Digital Fluid Temperature Sensor in hazardous (classified) locations
or life/safety applications.

1. Locate the sensor where you wish to measure temperature. Shown

here is a Digital Fluid Temperature Sensor placed in a freezer.

2. If necessary to hold the sensor in place, mount it with a cable clip,

Velcro or nylon tie.

3. Run the built-in 25' cable back to

your Room Alert, TemPageR or
Wireless Sensor Hub. Try to avoid
running it near large electromagnetic
devices or fluorescent lights, which
produce EMI that can interfere with sensor readings.

4. Plug the RJ-11 jack into an RJ-11 port on your Room Alert or TemPageR monitor.

RJ-11 Extension Cable & Coupler (ECC-25E-SEN)

You may extend the Digital Temperature Sensor up to
100' away from your Room Alert, TemPageR or
Wireless Sensor Hub. AVTECH stocks the 25' RJ-11
Extension Cable & Coupler (ECC-25E-SEN) for this
purpose. Please contact your Product Specialist to
purchase this extension cable.

Configure Your Digital Fluid Temperature Sensor

With Room Alert’s Built-In Web Interface

ECC-25E-SEN

Navigate to Settings Æ Sensors in the web interface of your Room Alert or TemPageR.
The options you see below will vary depending on the model.

1. Scroll down to your external digital sensor(s), the total number of which will vary

depending on the Room Alert or TemPageR model.

2. Find the digital sensor interface that matches the port you connected your Digital

Temperature Sensor to. Notice that your Room Alert or TemPageR monitor
automatically detects the type of digital sensor and displays it in “Sensor Type.”

3. In “Sensor Label,” you may leave the default “Ext Sensor 1” or enter a descriptive name

of up to 15 alphanumeric characters, such as “Temp Refrig 14” or “Cooler Temp.”

4. “Alarm On” automatically populates with the default temperature scale. Please refer to

your Room Alert or TemPageR User’s Guide & Reference Manual to change it.
