USB configuration cable; supplied with a device order only. For use with the Primex Device Configuration software to manually configure a
device or troubleshoot device network connectivity issues. It's recommended to save this cable for future use.

Devices using AC or PoE power can also use battery power as a backup power source in the event of a power loss.
During battery backup, the device operates on battery power and continues to log and transmit readings until the
primary power source is restored.
Mounting guidelines
Where a sensor is mounted impacts its use and operation. The install location critical to achieve the most accuracy and
performance possible.
• Install device on a wall at eye level, similar to a thermostat.
• For an overall humidity reading for a room, it's important to install in a location that will not be exposed to hot humid
air that may skew the results. For example, don’t install next to a piece of equipment that may exhaust hot air or near
a scrub sink where hot water can give off steam.
• Device is designed to be mounted on a wall. Lying a device on a counter may skew results.
• Ensure area is free of obstructions that might prevent proper air flow.
• Keep away from equipment that may exhaust hot air at the sensor.
• Keep away from sinks or water sources that may create steam.
• One humidity sensor can cover approximately 250 square feet – large rooms may require multiple sensors.
• Avoid areas that are near a location that could cause an inaccurate reading, such as near air ducts, windows, exterior
walls, or room entrances.
• Avoid areas subject to excessive vibration, electrical noise, direct sunlight or the effects of radiant heat.
• If using AC power, properly secure the cord to prevent snags.
• Let the sensor stabilize for approximately 10 minutes after powering the device before using the reading results.
• Easily accessible for maintenance and clear from obstructions. Avoid a location that would interfere with the use of
the monitored unit or area.
• Wireless Network use
