This User Guide explains how to properly install the Laird External Temperature Probe kit for the Sentrius Sensor series and 
view sampled data using the Sentrius Sensor Mobile App.  

This variant of the Sentrius RS1xx series of LoRa / BLE Sensors enables use of an external cabled temperature probe, in place 
of  the  integrated  temperature sensor.  The kit  includes an  IP67  rated cabled  temperature probe  that  is  200mm in  length  and 
6.35mm in diameter at the stainless-steel probe end. The external temperature probe utilizes a One Wire digital interface and 
supports a general temperature range of -55° to +125°C (+/-0.9°C). The cabled probe connects into the main body of the Sentrius 
Sensor via a CAT5 IP67 rated RJ45 connector.  

Note:

   This guide only contains a brief walkthrough. Refer to the RS1xx Guide for further details on sensor functionality and 

the mobile app capabilities. To access the RS1xx Guide, navigate to the
