If the DigiTemp is supplied without a connector, the user is responsible for connecting the sensor to the data 
collection platform. A user can attach their own connector, or connect the cable via a terminal strip, or directly 
wire it to device electronics. 

1.4

 

Operation 

The FTS DigiTemp is an SDI-12 device and is powered by the +12 V DC power supply on the SDI-12 bus.  

For details on the SDI commands used by the sensor, see Chapter 2 SDI Commands. 

1.5

 

Configuration 

The DigiTemp is shipped with default address 0 (unless shipped as part of an integrated FTS system). The only 
configuration available is to change this address if necessary in systems with more than one SDI-12 sensor on 
the same bus. Refer to section 2.3.3 Change Address for instructions on setting the sensor’s address.  

1.6

 

Calibration and maintenance 

Calibration is never required. Maintenance consists of periodic checking for cable wear. 

Please contact FTS technical support (see manual front pages) if the unit ceases to operate properly.
