Digital Temperature & Humidity Sensor
AVTECH
AVTECH’s Digital Temperature & Humidity Sensor
monitors ambient indoor temperature and humidity.
The 2" L x 3/8" diameter probe is small and light enough
to install almost anywhere with no special tools.
With an operating range of -40º to 185º Fahrenheit
(-40º to 85º Celsius) and 5% to 95% relative humidity
(RH), this “Plug and Play” sensor provides values
accurate to +/- 2° C and +/- 4.5% RH to your Room
Alert. Your Room Alert uses these readings to calculate
heat index so you’ll always know what the “feels like”
temperature is.

Install Your Digital Temperature & Humidity Sensor
Do not use this sensor in hazardous (classified) locations or life safety applications.
1. Locate the probe (the end with the blue cap) where you
wish to measure temperature and humidity. Shown here
is a Digital Temperature & Humidity Sensor placed on the
grill of an air conditioner to monitor cool air output.
2. If necessary to hold the probe in place, mount it with a
cable clip, Velcro or nylon tie.
3. Run the built-in 25' cable back to your Room Alert or Wireless Sensor Hub. Try to avoid
running it near large electromagnetic devices or fluorescent lights, which produce EMI
that can interfere with the sensor’s readings.
4. Connect the sensor to a digital sensor port on your Room Alert
or Wireless Sensor Hub.

Configure Your Digital Temperature & Humidity Sensor
Configure Your Digital Temperature & Humidity Sensor
Use Room Alert’s Built-In Web Interface
Navigate to Settings Sensors in the web interface of your Room Alert. The options
you see below will vary depending on the model.
1. Scroll to your external digital sensor(s), the total number of which will vary depending
on the Room Alert model.
2. Find the digital sensor interface that matches the port you connected your Digital
Temperature & Humidity Sensor to. For example, if you used the first digital port on
your Room Alert, look for Sensor 1 Alarm Configuration; if you used the second, look
for Sensor 2 Alarm Configuration, and so on. Notice that your Room Alert monitor
automatically detects the type of digital sensor and displays it in Sensor Type.
3. In Sensor X Label, you may leave the default, “Ext Sensor X,” or enter something more
descriptive of up to 15 characters. You may use the following characters in sensor
labels: letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens (-), underscores (_) and periods (.).
4. Alarm On automatically populates with the default temperature scale and Humidity.
Please refer to your Room Alert User’s Guide & Reference Manual to change the default
temperature scale.
5. In High and Low, you may leave the default, 0—which means no alarm is configured—
or enter values for high and low thresholds. Your Room Alert generates alerts based on
those thresholds.
6. In Adjust, you may leave the default, 0, or enter a value to adjust the temperature or
humidity reading if it differs from a known value at that location.

7. You may select Monitor Heat Index if you wish to have Room Alert use
temperature and humidity to calculate the “feels-like” temperature, rather than
displaying them as separate values. Notice that the Humidity threshold fields become
grayed out and Alarm On changes to Heat Index at the default temperature scale.
8. In Use Alarm Profile, which controls light towers and relays on your Room Alert, you
may leave the default, Profile 1, or choose another profile from the drop-down menu.
9. Select Save Settings at the top or bottom of the page. Your Room Alert will
automatically reboot and commit your changes.
