The temperature sensor transmits to a receiver which is typically a device that is
programmed to provide temperature control in the space that the sensor is monitoring
for closed loop temperature control. The sensor and receiver must be within range,
preferably in the same room and installed within 50’ (15.2 m) of each other. For

Even with a brief exposure to light the sensor will operate; however for best results the

- 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 sample period will increase to 100 seconds.
