Temperature Sensor
4
The Devices icon will alter to green and the status
light on the pH adaptor will flash green to indicate a
connection has been established.
Click or tap on to close the window.
When you have finished using the Temperature sensor
select Devices and Disconnect.
To add another data logger or smart wireless sensor
USB connected devices will be added automatically.
For Bluetooth and Wi-Fi devices select the Devices icon (top left of screen) then the Connect button
for the device from the list of those available.
Troubleshooting
If the sensor loses Bluetooth connection and will not reconnect try:
1.
Closing and reopening the EasySense2 software
2.
Close the EasySense2 software. Switch the sensor Off and then On again. (To switch off: Press and
hold down the On/Off switch for about 2 seconds until the white light is lit solidly then release. To
switch back on: Press the On/Off switch (blue LED will flash). Reopen the EasySense2 software.
3.
If you are using a Bluetooth Smart USB Adaptor unplug the adaptor, plug back in again and try to
reconnect.
4.
Hard reset the sensor and then try to reconnect.
Practical information
It is the very tip of the metal tube that is sensitive to temperature. Lay the sensor on its side, not its
end, when measuring a surface temperature.
Temperatures higher than 150˚C (302˚F) may damage the sensor.
Do not put any part of the sensor in a direct flame or on a hot plate.
The electronics in Smart Wireless module of the sensor have a working range of 0 to 40˚C, so
cannot be subjected to the same extremes of temperature as the stainless steel portion. Position
the sensor so this part of the sensor is kept away from the source of heat. Take steps to protect
against excessive steam.
The Smart Wireless module is not waterproof, it has an operating range of 0 to 95% RH (non-
condensing). Do not place the sensor in an environment in which high humidity levels are possible
as this may result in damage or malfunction.
Do not submerge the sensor beyond the stainless steel portion.
The metal tube section can be washed after use. Clean the Smart Wireless module using a damp
cloth, do not immerse in water or detergent.
If the sensor has been left in the cold, let it warm to near room temperature before waking it from
sleep.
The boiling point of water will vary with changes in air pressure. At one atmosphere of pressure
(101.3 kPa, 1013 mBar), pure water boils at 100˚C (212˚F). Water boils when the vapour pressure
of water equals the pressure of the gases above water, so if the pressure changes, then the
temperature that the water boils at will also change.
