Initial Activation
Temperature sensors come from the factory in Sleep Mode to conserve
battery power during shipping.
To Activate the sensor from sleep mode, remove the Activation Label.
Then press the sensor’s call button
for at least 7 seconds.
If the activation process is successful the sensor’s
LED indicator will glow green for about 3 seconds.
The sensor is now ready to for enrollment in the host RTLS application.
Battery Replacement
Change the sensor’s status in the host RTLS application to
‘Inactive’.
Place the sensor back cover side up. Unscrew the 4 screws to
remove the back cover
Slide the battery out from under the battery holder. Dispose of
used battery in accordance with local regulations.
Before inserting a new battery into place, position the battery
Isolator such that its holes align with the battery contact pins.
Replace the battery ensuring that the positive (+) side of the
battery faces up.
Close the back cover such that the screw holes are correctly
aligned. Tighten the 4 screws snugly into place. Do not over-
tighten as this may strip the case threads.
Change the sensor’s status in the host RTLS application back to
‘Active’.
Glycol Bottle Usage Tips
When inserting the probe into the bottle, push the probe fully through the
screw cap so that a leak-proof seal is formed and then ensure that the
cap is properly screwed onto the bottle.
When removing the probe from the bottle, first unscrew the cap and only
then PUSH the probe out from the cap.
Caution DO NOT pull the
probe from the cap as this may
cause damage to the probe or
to the interface cable.
Installation & Usage Considerations
1. Temperature sensors are not compatible with Elpas1 Lon Readers.
2. The transmission range of the temperature sensor may vary when mounted in different types of refrigeration units;
therefore a facility site survey to examine specific sensor mounting environments is required.
3. Always use an Elpas Mounting Clip (P/N: 5-ETC09001) to mount the temperature sensor so that it can easily be removed
for service or replacement,
4. Supervisory Alerts should be configured in the host RTLS application to notify staff members that the temperature sensor
is: 1) being tampered with, 2) is in a low voltage condition or 3) is not properly transmitting temperature data. Additionally,
the operational status of these system alerts should be triggered once a week to ensure system integrity.
