Temperature Module (with Internal or External Digital Sensor)

Wireless Monitoring Solution
2.2 Temperature Module
Recommendations
1. Smart-Vue temperature modules with external sensors may be installed
on the outside of refrigerators and freezers, with the sensor(s) placed
inside the enclosure and connected via the provided flat ribbon cable.
Modules with internal sensors should not be placed in cold-rooms.
2. Depending on the design of the controlled temperature space to be
monitored, you may be able to pass the sensor through an access port or
opening. We recommend that you use the access port or opening if one
is available.
- When installation permits routing the sensor cabling through an
access port or opening, connect the male end of the sensor
firmly into the female end of the Smart-Vue wireless module.
- When installation requires passage through the door gasket seal,
connect the male end of the sensor into the female end of the
flat cable by joining the connectors (without unscrewing them).
Then connect the other end of the flat cable into the end of the
Smart-Vue wireless module.
2.3 Placing an Internal
Sensor within the
Chamber
Depending on your refrigerator or freezer model, it may be better to leave
the sensor sitting on a shelf inside the chamber rather than sticking it to a
side wall.
This is particularly relevant when you have carried out a mapping study and
determined the ideal location for the sensor. In that case, make sure that the
sensor does not interfere with loading and unloading your product(s) and
that the location does not represent a risk for either your product(s) or the
sensor.
2.4 Placing Smart-Vue
Module and External
Sensor
1. If you have a Smart-Vue module with one or more external sensors, the
best solution is to use the access port or opening to insert the sensor(s).
Otherwise, run the temperature sensor into the enclosure via the door
joint, taking care to place the flat cable flush with the joint.
CAUTION: Installation through the door gasket on freezers may cause ice
build-up inside the freezer and/or on the freezer door. This may result in
damage to the freezer door if not properly maintained. When used with
incubators, use of the flat cable may cause condensation, which could
potentially increase the risk of contamination.
2. Clean the surface for the sensor using alcohol to remove any grease or
dirt.
