Digital Outdoor Temperature Sensor (TMP-DOT-SEN)

Installation Note

AVTECH’s Digital Outdoor Temperature Sensor monitors
ambient temperature outdoors and in other harsh
environments. A flexible silicone coating protects the
temperature sensor from the elements, allowing it to
function in environments where a standard sensor would
not be advisable. The approximately 2 ½" x L ½" diameter
sensor housing is small and light enough to mount nearly
anywhere with no special tools.

With an operating range of -40º to 185º Fahrenheit (-40º to
85º 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 Outdoor Temperature Sensor

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

1. Locate the sensor (the end with the red silicone

coating) where you wish to measure temperature.

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

a cable clip, Velcro or nylon tie. Shown here is a
Digital Outdoor Temperature Sensor installed outside
a window by simply running the RJ-11 cable under
the pane.

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 the sensor readings.

4. Plug the RJ-11 jack into an RJ-11 port on your Room

Alert or TemPageR monitor.
