3. Turtle Tough and their representatives are unable to provide support on 3rd party hardware or provide troubleshooting on equipment not supplied by us. We are unable to warrant the performance or compatibility of our product with 3rd party hardware
or software. If you intend to integrate the sensor directly with your own hardware we highly recommend the following:
•
Read the Field Installation Guide and Sensor Implementation Guide.
•
Purchase a handheld field communicator (HFC) from Turtle Tough. This stand alone device, self powers the sensor and provides complete diagnostics and communication. The HFC allows us to independently test and verify the sensor performance,
independent of your system or hardware and is the single fastest way to rule out any sensor performance issues and be able to identify field installation problems.
•
Alternatively, you may purchase a windows PC interface box. Once again, this factory supplied and tested component will ensure reliable communication with the sensor and it can be tested independently of your system.
Please note that our quick connect plugs my never be cut or removed from the sensor. This will immediately void warranty. Only use Turtle Tough factory interface leads or panel mount connectors to interface with your hardware.

IMPORTANT:
TURTLE TOUGH DIRECT SMART SENSORS (DSS) are fully supported by a range of factory hardware solutions including SMART Analysers, Handheld Field Communicators, PC Communication tools and field implementation devices such
as junction boxes, extensions leads and power supplies. This ecosystem provides a complete solution of reliable connectivity and sensor management. TURTLE TOUGH sensors may also be directly interfaced with end user hardware via the MODBUS
RTU protocol. Integrating sensors directly into your industrial network requires a moderate to high level of onsite expertise in system integration, and should not be undertaken by anyone without the requisite experience. We suggest you read the sensor
implementation guide carefully to understand the full scope and requirement for installation, because:
1. Turtle Tough Pty Ltd and their representatives can provide only limited factory support when integrating sensors into 3rd party hardware.
2. Product support is limited to the information provided in our field implementation notes and guidelines.
