12-Bit Temperature Smart Sensor (S-TMB-M0xx) Quick Start
Connecting to a Station
1. Stop the station if it is logging.
2. Plug the smart sensor jack into an open smart sensor port on the station.
3.
Start logging.
Mounting the Smart Sensor
• Mount the sensor so that at least 10 cm (4 in.) of the sensor cable is placed in the medium that is
being measured. The temperature sensor is approximately 0.32 cm (0.125 in.) from the end of the
stainless steel tip.
• If you are mounting the sensor in water, place the sensor cable on the side of the mounting post
facing downstream to protect the sensor cable from getting damaged by floating debris.
A solar radiation shield is strongly recommended when measuring outdoor air temperatures
•
because solar radiation can significantly affect air temperature readings. Mount the sensor with
the solar radiation shield (RS3-B) as shown and refer to the solar radiation shield manual.

Deployment Guidelines
• To minimize measurement errors due to ambient RF, use the shortest possible probe cable
length and keep the probe cable as far as possible from other cables.
• Secure the smart sensor adapter to the mast with the cable ties as shown. Multiple smart
sensor adapters can be stacked as shown in the far right example. Alternatively, mount
the smart sensor adapter to a flat surface using two screws (no larger than a #6) and two
washers.
• If the sensor cable is left on the ground, use conduit to protect against animals, lawn
mowers, exposure to chemicals, etc.
