Sensorsoft Thermometer User Manual Overview The ST6105C, ST6105J and ST6154J Soft Thermometers are RS232 compatible serial devices based on the Sensorsoft Device Protocol. The ST6105C and ST6105J have a built-in temperature sensor and are intended for applications where the customer needs to monitor or measure temperature in rooms or warehouses.
Sensorsoft Thermometer User Manual Installing the Sensorsoft Thermometer Installation of the Sensorsoft Thermometer is composed of the following steps: Choosing an Installation Location Connecting the Sensorsoft Thermometer to a serial port Starting the Sensorsoft software. Please refer to the specific software manual that applies to your installation.
Sensorsoft Thermometer User Manual If you are connecting a Sensorsoft Thermometer to a device server please be sure to configure the port as follows: 1200 bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit Turn off autobaud Flow control set to none Non-telnet binary (raw) transfer mode Assert RTS and DTR always Refer to your device server’s documentation for more details on the above. Note the physical or COM port number where you plugged the cable into your computer or device server.

Sensorsoft Thermometer User Manual ST6154J Sensorsoft Thermometer Specifications Probe measurement range: -55 º C to +125 º C (-67 º F to +257 º F) Resolution or precision: 0.1 º C (0.18 º F) and 0.5 º C (0.9 º F) Accuracy: +/- 0.5 º C (+/- 0.9 º F) over 0 º C to +70 º C (32 º to 158 º F) and +/- 1 º C (1.8 º F) over remainder of temperature range Calibration: Calibrated at the factory. Re-calibration in the field is not possible. Sensor probe can be replaced if returned to the factory.
Sensorsoft Thermometer User Manual Resolution, Accuracy and Calibration The terms resolution, accuracy and calibration frequently cause misunderstanding for many individuals who have not been trained in metrology. We endeavor here to explain these terms and how they might affect your application of Sensorsoft devices. Resolution or precision is the fineness of the measurement. It is usually specified in terms of the smallest unit that can be resolved.

Sensorsoft Thermometer User Manual Making extension cables for C-Suffix Sensorsoft Devices In some applications it is not possible to use pre-assembled cables. When installing the Sensorsoft device at a remote location it may be necessary to run cables through walls, ceiling or conduits where connectors would get jammed. In this situation it makes sense to run the cables and then terminate them, on-site, using hand tools.

Sensorsoft Thermometer User Manual Writing programs for the Sensorsoft Thermometer The following describes how to write your own programs for the Sensorsoft Thermometer. This Sensorsoft device uses a binary, packet-formatted, master-slave protocol. All data is represented in the little endian format - least significant byte is first and the most significant byte is last. Your host computer (master) must send commands to and receive responses back from the Sensorsoft device (slave).
Sensorsoft Thermometer User Manual ARGUMENT-byte The number of the Sensorsoft Thermometer's internal register you want to read or write. This byte is required for the temperature command. This byte is not required for the status command. CRC-bytes A two byte (16 bit) Cyclic Redundancy Check that is calculated on the entire packet from the CMD byte to the last ARGUMENT byte or ADDRESS byte. In the examples below, the last two bytes in each command string are CRC bytes that were pre-calculated.
Sensorsoft Thermometer User Manual Receiving responses from the Sensorsoft Thermometer Each response packet the Sensorsoft Thermometer returns is in the following format: RESPONSE-byte A single byte response code indicating the type of response. Valid codes are 90 hex or 94 hex. PACKETlength-bytes Two bytes indicating the total length of the packet from start to finish (includes CRC bytes).

Sensorsoft Thermometer User Manual Reading the Sensorsoft ID Record Every Sensorsoft device (SSD) accepts an identification (ID) command, whose response can be used to uniquely identify the type of SSD currently connected. Specifically, the model number and description can be extracted from the SSD’s ID response, allowing application software to determine the specific model of the SSD connected and to configure itself appropriately.
