7.1.5 How to connect /disconnect an ALMEMO

®

 Sensor to 

the Wireless ALMEMO

®

 Interface 

Connect a sensor 

  The wireless ALMEMO

® 

interface 

is a ALMEMO

®

 wireless sensor 

with a  ALMEMO

® 

input socket, to 

which an ALMEMO

® 

sensor can 

be connected with a ALMEMO

® 

D7 or D6 plug. 

 

  The maximum sensor power supply of the wireless ALMEMO

® 

interface is 6V at 30 mA. For sensors that require higher voltage / 
electricity, an external power supply has to be provided. 

!

  The wireless ALMEMO

® 

interface needs to be switched off. 

  Insert the ALMEMO

® 

D7 or D6 plug of the desired sensor into the 

ALMEMO

® 

input socket 

17

 of the wireless ALMEMO

® 

interface. 

  All standard ALMEMO

®

 sensors with ALMEMO

® 

plugs are generally 

programmed with measuring range and dimension and can therefore 
be connected to every wireless ALMEMO

® 

interface and to every 

ALMEMO

® 

measuring device. 

Disconnect a sensor 

!

  The wireless ALMEMO

® 

interface needs to be switched off. 

  Press the two locking levers of the ALMEMO

® 

plug and remove it from 

the ALMEMO

® 

input socket

7.1.6 How to switch the Wireless Sensor on/off 

Switch the wireless sensor on 

  Press and hold the ON/OFF button 

14 

of the ALMEMO

®

 wireless 

sensor. 

  All LEDs of the ALMEMO

®

 wireless sensor will light up; the ALMEMO

®

 

wireless sensor will be switched on.
