Overview
Cabinet sensors, known as ThermaNodes, measure temperature and humidity in and
around cabinet areas and transmit collected data to the gateway. ThermaNodes also
include the ability to connect additional thermistors using various cable assemblies.
The following cabinet sensor configurations are available.
ThermaNode EZ™(wireless)
The ThermaNode EZ measures,
collects, and transmits temperature
information data to the gateway.
ThermaNode EZ-H™(wireless)
ThermaNode EZ-H (H denotes
humidity) measures and transmits
temperature and humidity data to
the gateway. The water drop on
the front label and “EH” on the
back label distinguishes the EZ-H
model.
For ThermaNode EZ Installation, see Installing ThermaNode EZ Cabinet Sensors.

:Throughout this document, the term ThermaNode EZ refers to the
ThermaNode EZ and ThermaNode EZ-H.
