Placing the Sensor
1. If you have a Smart-Vue Pro Duo/Quatro data logger with
one or more external sensors, the best solution is to use
your equipment’s access port or specific opening to
insert the sensor(s). Otherwise, run the temperature
sensor into the enclosure via the door joint to place the
flat cable flush with the joint.
2. Clean the surface of the sensor using alcohol to remove
grease or dirt.
3. Attach one of a plastic cable holders to the sensor,
remove the protective strip from the adhesive and place
the holder on the clean spot inside the enclosure.
4. Place the sensor / flat ribbon cable connector inside the
chamber as shown in the following figure:

Temperature/Humidity
Smart-Sensors™
The Smart-Vue Pro wireless humidity/temperature sensor
monitors relative humidity levels and temperature. This option
is generally used in various types of storage, medical and
traceability applications.
This sensor connects via the Thermo Scientific Smart-Sensor
connector and therefore already contains calibration
parameters if the sensor was calibrated by Smart-Vue Pro.
CAUTION:
Installation through the door gasket
on freezers may cause ice build-up inside the
freezer and/or on the freezer door. This may result
in damage to the freezer door if not maintained.
When used with incubators, a flat cable may
cause condensation which could potentially
increase the risk of contamination.
Insert the keyed sensor
plug onto an available port
on the bottom of your
