Placing the sensor
1.
If you have an EDGE module with one or more external sensors, the best solution is to use the
access port or opening to insert the sensor(s). Otherwise, run the temperature sensor into the
enclosure via the door joint, taking care to place the flat cable flush with the joint.
Installation through the door gasket on freezers may cause ice build-up
inside the freezer and/or on the freezer door. This may result in damage
to the freezer door if not properly maintained. When used with
incubators, use of the flat cable may cause condensation, which could
potentially increase the risk of contamination.
2.
Clean the surface for the sensor using alcohol to remove any grease or dirt.
3.
Attach one of the plastic cable holders to the sensor, remove the protective strip from the
adhesive, and place the holder on the clean spot inside the enclosure.
Insert the cable from
your module into the
keyed plug on the
sensor connector.
