Plus sensor
•
Sensing options:
○
Temperature only
○
Temperature and relative humidity
•
Wireless
•
Setpoint dial to adjust the room temperature
setpoint *
•
Solar-powered—Indoor solar panel collects
ambient light to power the sensor and send
wireless communication
•
Maintenance-free capacitors power the
transmitter in unlit periods for up to 5 days
without a light source
•
Supplemental battery included for extreme low-
light conditions
* A change made to the room temperature setpoint through the dial may take up to a minute to be seen in i-Vu®.

Specifications
Sensor temperature range
32°F to 104°F (0° to 40°C)
NOTE
If temperature exceeds 104°F (40°C), sensor will continue to report
104°F (40°C) until temperature drops below this limit.
Humidity sensor
11% to 89%, ±3% RH typical
Power supply
Solar harvesting, internal energy storage
Battery
A 1/2 AA 3.6V 1200 mA battery is included to supplement solar power in
extreme low-light conditions. For battery replacement, you can purchase this
3.6V battery online from websites such as Amazon.
Battery shelf life expectancy: 10 years
Battery operational life expectancy: 5 to 10 years
NOTE
Although a common 1/2 AA 3V battery will fit into the sensor’s battery
socket, the battery life will be substantially shorter, and the battery life
calculations in your i-Vu® system will never exceed 40%.
Protocol
Customized version of EnOcean
Radio frequency
902 MHz (North America) or
868 MHz (Europe and China)
Transmission range
Typically, 75 to 80 ft. (22.86 to 24.38 m) maximum from the Wireless
Adapter, assuming sensor and Wireless Adapter are separated by no more
than 1 drop ceiling or 2 walls (drywall with metal studs)
