Introduction
What is the T1/T1R?
The T1 and T1R are highly accurate, submersible temperature sensors. They are
available in both a recording and a non-recording version. Communicating either via
Modbus
®
RTU or SDI-12, these temperature sensors are versatile and easy to use.
The T1 and T1R temperature sensors are designed to provide trouble-free submersible
operation when properly installed. Both the T1 and T1R are compatible with INW’s
WaveData
®
VZCOM wireless data collection technology, making them excellent for
remote monitoring.
The T1 (non-recording version) operates on an external (9 to 16 VDC) power supply
and is ideal for use with many data loggers and SCADA systems.
The T1R (recording version) operates on either two internal AA batteries or an external
(6 to 15 VDC) power supply. The unit is programmed using INW’s easy-to-use
Aqua4Plus control software. Once programmed it will measure and collect data on a
variety of time intervals. The T1R can be used as a stand-along unit or network with
other INW AquiStar
®
Smart Sensors, as well as with many data loggers and SCADA
systems using Modbus
®
RTU or SDI-12.
Initial Inspection and Handling
Upon receipt of your smart sensor, inspect the shipping package for damage. If any
damage is apparent, note the signs of damage on the appropriate shipping form. After
opening the carton, look for concealed damage, such as a cut cable. If concealed
damage is found, immediately fi le a claim with the carrier.
Check the etched label on the sensor to be sure that the proper range and type were
provided. Also check the label attached to the cable at the connector end for the proper
cable length.
