Deployment Guide

Where a Sensor sits decides whether its readings mean anything. Follow the common rules below, then open the guide for your environment.

Common Deployment Rules

Choose a Representative Location

• Keep temperature Sensors away from direct sunlight, heaters, electronics, fans, air-conditioning outlets, and cooling vents.
• Leave open space around the Sensor or probe so air can circulate.
• Do not let a temperature probe touch food or a refrigerator wall directly.
• Keep leak probes at the lowest likely collection point without putting the transmitter body in standing water.

Protect the Sensor Body

• Keep non-waterproof Sensor bodies outside high-humidity and condensation-prone spaces whenever an external probe is available.
• If a body must be placed inside, use appropriate moisture protection and food-grade desiccant.
• IP67 protection helps against splashing and temporary submersion; it does not imply unlimited underwater use.

Preserve the Wireless Connection

• Metal appliances, cabinets, machinery, and reinforced walls reduce wireless range. See Wireless Range.
• Keep the Hub within range of every Sensor it serves; the ST7-CL and NM1 connect on their own and do not use a Hub.
• Confirm the Sensor remains online after closing doors and completing installation.
• Verify that the latest data timestamp continues to update before leaving the site.
