Temperature Sensing Operation
Temperature and Humidity Monitoring
- The temperature sensor will
record the temperature, temperature set point and humidity values*
every 10 seconds (sample period) when there is approximately 100 lux
(10 foot-candles) available. If there is less than 100 lux (10 fc), the sam
-
ple period will increase to 100 seconds. After 24 hours at < 15 lux (1.5
fc) the sample period will increase to 200 seconds. *Assuming sufficient
storage charge to operate.
Temperature Set Point
- Users can adjust the temperature set point by
rotating the knob counterclockwise to lower the set point value; clock
-
wise to increase the set point value.
The receiving temperature control equipment must scale the set point
range to values that are applicable for the application.
Fan Speed Switch
- Users can adjust the fan speed switch by sliding the
switch to a setting: Auto, OFF, Low (1) Med (2), High (3).
Occupancy Button
- (RTS-2HS models only) Users can override a room
occupancy state by pressing the occupancy button on the lower right
edge of the sensor.
LED Operation -
LEDs are on the right side of the solar panel. The red
LED will flash when the Link or Occupancy button is pressed. See Test
Operating Modes for further LED information.
Transmitting Values
- The temperature sensor will transmit a telegram
when:
• 10 sample periods have been completed or
•
when the fan switch or occupancy button are used or
•
when the temperature value difference from the last transmitted
value is greater than 0.3°C, (0.5°F) or
•
the humidity value difference from the last transmitted value is
greater than 3%.
Installing the Temperature Sensor
The temperature sensor can be mounted on any surface; glass, stone,
concrete, wallboard, cubicle partitions, etc. The sensor can be mounted
using screws (not supplied) through the removable back plate (2 key-
holes or using double sided tape or Velcro™ (not supplied).
The mounting location of the wireless transmitter is important as this
will directly affect the receivers reception of the telegrams. Before
