User's Manual

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the ONELINK Wireless
Temperature Sensor. This device senses temperature
changes ranging between 14˚F to 112˚F (-10˚C to 44˚C).
This Quick Start Guide describes how to set up and
troubleshoot your Temperature Sensor.

CONTROLLING YOUR SENSOR
Using your computer and the Wireless Gateway, you locally manage your
home environment with the ONELINK Wireless System. When configured, the
system can notify you of any new events
by sending an e-mail when your Temperature Sensor detects an event (a
temperature change) that moves beyond the user specified limits.
H
ow It Works
T
he Sensor monitors ambient temperature and if the temperature moves
b
eyond your set temperature range, it sends an event to your Wireless
System Gateway. When the External Temperature Probe is connected to
the Temperature Sensor, the internal sensor element is disabled.
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Your package contains the following:
Installing your sensor is a simple process.
1. Locate the antenna and screw it into the top-left corner of the sensor until
it is secure. Sharp objects should be stored out of reach of children to
prevent injury.
2. Insert batteries. On the top of the sensor, slide open the door and insert
two AAA alkaline batteries. The inside of the sensor indicates the polarity
(+ and -) of the batteries. Close the door after inserting batteries.
The sensor does not support rechargeable NiCad or NiMH batteries.
3. Mount the sensor.

arning: When mounting near a window, drilling too close to the glass
c
ould break the glass and possibly cause it to shatter and cause injury.
T
he window extends deeper into the frame than can be seen; therefore,
e
nsure your screw is beyond the glass before drilling. Thoroughly clean
a
nd dry the surface.

. You can mount the sensor securely using the screws
i
n the hardware kit. Using the holes on the drilling
t
emplate found later in this guide, mark the position
o
f the holes to be drilled. For drywall or other
c
omposite surfaces use a 7/32” drill bit. Drill a hole
f
or each of the mounting screws and insert a plastic
w
all anchor into each hole. For other solid surfaces, use a 1/16” drill bit.

rill a pilot hole for each of the mounting screws.
2. Ensure that fresh batteries have been installed.
3. Mount the sensor onto the screws and slide up to lock into place.
A
ttaching the Temperature Probe
T
he probe, which attaches to the Temperature Sensor, is immersible and
d
esigned to monitor the temperature of air or water. A pool, aquarium,
d
eep freezer, or baseboard radiator are just a few suggested places to
m
onitor ambient air or water temperature.
1
. Insert the plug into the bottom of the sensor.
2. Place the Temperature Probe in the location
you wish to monitor.

M
ounting tools: Screwdriver, electric drill or awl. On hard surfaces, it is
r
ecommended that you pre-drill 1/2-inch deep pilot holes with a drill bit
s
lightly smaller than the bracket mounting screws before securing the bracket
to the surface. When mounting a sensor on soft surfaces like sheetrock, use
an awl to punch holes in the material slightly smaller than the plastic anchors
included in the hardware mounting kit.
The illustration is drawn to a one-to-one scale, which means that
it provides the exact dimensions required to mount the unit.

Installation Hints
Please consider the following points when mounting the sensor:
• The ONELINK Temperature Sensor is constructed for indoor use.
• Typically, the sensor’s range is 65-200 feet from the Gateway, depending
on the number of obstacles. These can include metal framing, thick walls,
and other wireless devices. It is recommended that different positions be
tried for optimal results.
Features and Specifications
• Attaches to any flat non-metal surface
• Operates on 2-AAA Alkaline batteries
• LED indicator when sensor is triggered
Frequency range: 915 MHz
Typical open air range (line of sight): 200 ft (60 m)
Typical indoor range: 65 feet (20 m)
Sensor size: 1.613” x .615” x 3.441”
Operational temperature:
14˚ to 112˚ F with all components operating
within manufacturer thermal limits
