Temperature Sensor
7
Lithium-ion batteries are ‘memory-free’ and prefer a partial rather than a full discharge. Constant partial
discharges with frequent recharges will not cause any harm. Frequent full discharges should be avoided
whenever possible. Ideally the sensor should be stored at about 40% or more charge.
The speed at which a lithium-ion battery will age is governed by both its storage temperature
(preferably less than 40˚C) and state-of-charge. Eventually the battery will no longer deliver the stored
energy and will need to be replaced. A fully charged battery that loses its charge quickly will
demonstrate the need for replacement. When this happens, contact Data Harvest.
Updating the Firmware
Occasionally Data Harvest may release updated firmware which will contain improvements or new
features. Updates will be made available from the product specific page on the
website.
Hard Reset
If the Smart Wireless Temperature sensor fails to respond to the computer carry out a hard reset.
If necessary attach the Temperature sensor to power.
Press and hold down the On/Off button for at least 8 seconds until the status LED gives a flash of
blue light then release.
If the sensor still fails to respond contact Product Support at Data Harvest.
Please provide details of:
The computer platform it is being used with and the EasySense2 software’s version number.
A description of the problem being encountered
If possible, telephone from a location where you can operate the sensor with the computer.
