14 Where to place SmartMonitor SITE L
Berlinger recommends placing the SmartMonitor SITE L as close as possible to the product to
be monitored so that the temperature can be recorded as accurately as possible.
If the temperature is to be measured in a refrigerator or freezer, it is recommended to do
this with an external sensor. This allows the temperature to be read from the outside on the
display. Furthermore, the WIFI connection inside a fridge is poor or not possible at all.
If the temperature monitoring is done with an external sensor, the external sensor should be
placed as close as possible to the product to be monitored.
Important!
The cable of the external sensor should be placed in such a way that it does not interfere
with the daily handling of the personnel or the cable can be disconnected.

Draft version 01 Operatots Manual / SmartMonitor SITE L page 20 of 26
15 External Sensor
Use only original Berlinger external sensors for SmartMonitor SITE L.
Make sure that the sensor is properly connected to the device and the connector is secured
(tightened by hand). Do not tighten the connector with pliers or any other tool, otherwise the
connector may be damaged.
The cable of the external sensor should be placed in such a way that it does not interfere with the
daily handling of the personnel or the cable can be disconnected.
Berlinger offers several types of external sensor as:
1.5 Meter Temperature Sensor
1.5 Meter Temperature/Humidity Sensor
