CIM_Sensor
The CIM_Sensor class described in Table below contains hardware devices capable of measuring the characteristics of some physical 
property, for example, the temperature or voltage characteristics of a computer system
Table 20. CIM_Sensor Properties
Class Name: CIM_Sensor
Parent Class: CIM_LogicalDevice
Property Description Data Type
SensorType Indicates the type of the sensor, 
for example, voltage or 
temperature sensor.
Values for the SensorType 
property are:
0 - Unknown
1 - Other
2 - Temperature sensors 
measure the environmental 
temperature.
3 - Voltage sensors measure 
electrical voltage.
4 - Current sensors measure 
current readings.
5 - Tachometers measure 
speed/revolutions of a device. 
For example, a fan device can 
have an associated tachometer 
that measures its speed.
6 - Batteries maintain the time 
and date and save the system’s 
BIOS conguration when the 
system is turned o.
uint16
OtherSensorType Description Indicates the type of 
sensor when the SensorType 
property is set to Other.
