Choosing an Installation Location
Model ST6105C and ST6105J
Locate these Sensorsoft Thermometer close to the equipment or airflow you are monitoring.
Since the ST6105C/J Sensorsoft Thermometer is not waterproof or weatherproof, keep the
following rules in mind:
•
Keep the Sensorsoft Thermometer housing out of contact with direct sunlight, UV exposure
and dripping water.
•
Protect the Sensorsoft Thermometer from high traffic areas that could wear/damage the
housing or cable.
•
Never allow the plastic housing of the Sensorsoft Thermometer to come into contact with
harsh chemicals or cleaning agents. If it needs to be cleaned, do so with a damp cloth or
vacuum cleaner.
Use a Velcro fastener (P/N F1000 or F1001) to affix the Sensorsoft Thermometer to a stable
surface.
Model ST6154J
Since this Sensorsoft Thermometer has an external stainless steel probe, you may expose the
probe portion to liquids or outdoor environments. However the same restrictions apply to main
plastic housing as does with the ST6105C/J above.
Connecting the Sensorsoft Thermometer to a serial port
If you have a ST6105C (C-Suffix) Sensorsoft Thermometer, plug its molded DB-9F connector
into an available RS232 serial port connector (DB-9M) on your computer or device server.
If you have an ST6105J or ST6154J (J-Suffix) Sensorsoft Thermometer, use the appropriate
C200X cable to connect this device to your computer or device server. Please refer to the
Sensorsoft price list for available types.
If you intend to make your own custom cable for a J-Suffix Sensorsoft device, please refer to
Making communication cables for J-Suffix Sensorsoft Devices.
