AVTECH Digital Temperature Sensors
AVTECH’s lineup of digital temperature sensors monitor temperature in a variety of
environments. With an operating range of -67º to 257º Fahrenheit (-55º to 125º Celsius),
these “Plug and Play” sensors provide temperature values accurate to +/- 2º C to your
Room Alert.
AVTECH’s Digital Temperature Sensor monitors ambient indoor
temperature. The 2" L x 3/8" diameter sensor housing is small and
light-weight enough to install almost anywhere with no special tools.
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,
Installation Note
allowing it to function in environments where a standard sensor
would not be advisable.
AVTECH’s Digital Fluid Temperature Sensor RJ-11 cable
monitors the temperature of fluids in refrigerated Silicone
and other environments using a unique sensor
housing. The temperature sensor is sealed Sealed cap
in a tube filled with propylene glycol, a non-
conductive clear liquid with a low freezing/high Temp probe
in silicone 3"
boiling point. The sensor returns the readings of
the propylene glycol so that you may measure
Propylene
the consistent temperature held by the fluid glycol
rather than the ups and downs of the air moving
around it. 1 1/8"
These sensors are available in 25', 50' and 100' lengths:
Length Digital Temperature Digital Outdoor Temperature Digital Fluid Temperature

Install Your Digital Temperature Sensor
Do not use this sensor in hazardous (classified) locations or life safety applications.
1. Locate the sensor (the end with the red cap, red silicone cover or clear
propylene glycol-filled tube) where you wish to measure temperature.
Shown here are the Digital Temperature Sensor placed behind a server
rack, the Digital Outdoor Sensor placed outside a window and the
Digital Fluid Temperature Sensor installed 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. Try to avoid running it near large
electromagnetic devices or fluorescent lights, which produce EMI that can interfere
with sensor readings.
4. Connect the sensor to a digital sensor port on your Room Alert.

Configure Your Digital Temperature Sensor
Use Room Alert’s Built-In Web Interface
Navigate to Settings Sensors in the web interface of your Room Alert. The options
you see below will vary depending on the model.
1. Scroll to your external digital sensor(s), the total number of which will vary depending
on the Room Alert model.
2. Find the digital sensor interface that matches the port you connected your Digital
Temperature Sensor to. For example, if you used the first digital port on your Room
Alert, look for Sensor 1 Alarm Configuration; if you used the second, look for Sensor
2 Alarm Configuration, and so on. Notice that your Room Alert monitor automatically
detects the type of digital sensor and displays it in Sensor Type.
3. In Sensor X Label, you may leave the default, “Ext Sensor X,” or enter something more
descriptive of up to 15 characters. You may use the following characters in sensor
labels: letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens (-), underscores (_) and periods (.).
4. Alarm On automatically populates with the default temperature scale. Please refer to
your Room Alert User’s Guide & Reference Manual to change it.
5. In High and Low, you may leave the default, 0—which means no alarm is configured—
or enter values for high and low thresholds. Your Room Alert generates alerts based on
those thresholds.
6. In Adjust, you may leave the default, 0, or enter a value to adjust the temperature
reading if it differs from a known value at that location.
7. In Use Alarm Profile, which controls light towers and relays on your Room Alert, you
may leave the default, Profile 1, or choose another profile from the drop-down menu.
