External Smart Sensors
The procedures described in this document assume that your EDGE LoRa Gateway receiver is up and
running, and that you have created an account on the EDGEConnect web application (with a voucher to
authorize Cloud access). This section focuses on the physical aspects of the EDGE W-200 module.
This image shows a EDGE W-200 module with an external PT100 sensor, connected via EDGE Smart
Sensor technology.

Connecting Smart Sensors™
The EDGE W-200 module and external PT100 sensors (and dual temperature/humidity sensors) provided
by Temptime are independent of each other with respect to calibration. A calibrated external sensor
stores its own calibration parameters directly, and thus can be used with any EDGE W-200 module.
EDGE W-200 modules with support for external sensors use a specially designed Temptime Smart Sensor
technology that offers several key advantages with respect to conventional solutions:
•
Calibration correction parameters are stored directly in the Smart Sensor
•
Plug and play functionality with no special configuration on your part
•
Module independence from sensor type: any supported Temptime sensor can be used with any
given EDGE W-200 module, simplifying repairs, swaps/standard exchange, and calibration cycles
