Wireless Temperature and Humidity Sensors
STW-6010, STW-6014, THW-1102
Specifications and design subject to change without notice.
Mounting
Select a location
Install the sensor on an inside wall where it can
sense the average room temperature. Avoid locations
with direct sunlight, heat sources, windows, air
vents, and air circulation or obstructions such as
curtains, furniture, etc.
 Mount the sensor in an area with a minimum
illumination of 200 lux for three to four hours
everyday. The light source can be either artical
or daylight. The health and safety at work act
requires a minimum illumination of 500 lux for
oce workplaces.
 The long term illumination should not exceed
1000 lux.
 Avoid recessed areas that are not suciently
illuminated throughout the day.
 When using collimated articial light the angle
of incidence on the solar cell should be not too
steep.
 The sensors can be mounted with the solar cell
toward a window but not in direct sunlight.
Even occasional direct sunlight can lead to false
temperature values.
 Consider the future use of the room and avoid
locations that may be used for ling cabinets,
shelf units, or other large obstructions.
 In closed spaces with several walls, the maximum
range may be less than 33  (10 m). In open areas,
place the sensor no farther away than 98 . (30 m)
from the receiver or gateway. See the publication
Planning Guide For Wireless Sensor Networks for
details.
Remove the sensor body from the back panel
The sensor body is held to the black, back panel by
three, small, round pegs that t in the holes of the
sensor body. The boom peg is a spring tab and
snaps into the center boom hole.
1. With a small Phillips screwdriver or hex wrench,
press in and hold the tab buon that snaps into
the center hole on the boom cover.
2. Carefully pull or pry the back panel from the
sensor body.
Install the optional battery
A single CR1225 lithium coin baery may be
installed for locations that do not have enough
sustained light to maintain sensor operation.
3. Remove the sensor body from the back panel.
4. Position the CR1225 baery with the plus (+)
symbol visible.
5. Slide the baery into the baery holder.
6. Install the sensor.

Maintenance
Careful installation will also ensure long-term
reliability and performance. Remove dust as
necessary from holes in top and boom. Clean with
a so, damp cloth and mild soap.
Replace the optional lithium baery every two years
or as needed by actual use.
Accessories

Sensor models
For use in North America
STW-6010W Digital Sensor (Wireless, Temperature, 315 MHz, White)
STW-6014W Digital Sensor (Wireless, Temperature, Setpoint, 315 MHz, White)
THW-1102W Digital Sensor (Wireless, Temperature, Humidity, 315 MHz, White)
For use outside of North America
STW-6010DW Digital Sensor (Wireless, Temperature, 868 MHz, White)
STW-6014DW Digital Sensor (Wireless, Temperature, Setpoint, 868 MHz, White)
THW-1102DW Digital Sensor (Wireless, Temperature, Humidity, 868 MHz, White)
Contains FCC ID: SZV-STM310C
These 315 MHz devices comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (i.) these
devices may not cause harmful interference and (ii.) these
devices must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Operation
The sensor will begin operation as soon as the solar
cell has charged the internal energy storage device.
However, if the sensor has been in storage for a
prolonged period, it may take three or four days for
the circuit to become fully charged.
Installation
1. Remove the sensor body from the back panel.
2. (Optional) Install the baery.
3. Locate the sensor identication number on a label
that is inside of the sensor body.
4. Record the location of the sensor and
identication number on the system plans.
5. Using the back panel as a template, drill two
holes for mounting screws 1-13/32 inches, or 35.6
mm apart.
• For the supplied screws, drill 7/64 inch (3mm)
holes.
• For plaster or concrete mounting surfaces,
plastic anchors are recommended. If anchors
are used, adjust the size of the holes for the
anchor.
6. Aach the back panel to the wall using two
#6 self-threading screws.
7. Snap the sensor body onto the back panel.
