Introduction

Elpas Temperature Sensors are supervised Active RFID Tags that provide wireless remote

monitoring of environmental sensitive assets or environments that require strict temperature range

compliance.

The sensors report location based temperature monitoring data which is received and relayed over

the Elpas infrastructure to a host RTLS application or an integrated 3rd party platform for regulatory

compliance, temperature-range alerting or trend analysis.

Sensors are available with an internal thermistor for ambient temperature monitoring or with an

external probe for applications requiring higher precision. Both sensors feature wireless call-button

functionality to report preconfigured maintenance messages plus remote device supervision to

ensure field reliability.

Elpas Temperature Sensors are water/dust resistant, cleanable with alcohol based disinfectants

and are powered by one field-replaceable lithium battery.

It is important that you understand, and follow the instructions in this document. Should you have

any questions, please contact your local ELPAS support representative before proceeding with the

installation, operation or maintenance of these products.

Elpas Temperature Sensors – User Guide Sensor Mounting Guidelines - Refrigerator Applications The Elpas Internal Thermistor - Temperature Sensor (P/N: 5-STE00433-1) is suitable for general purpose refrigerator applications (such as food and pharmaceutical storage) where ambient temperature monitoring is sufficient. Use an Elpas Mounting Clip (P/N: 5-ETC09001) with an ultra-high bound adhesive to mount the temperature sensor on the side wall as close to the middle of the refrigerator as possible.
