The ALTA Wireless Temperature Sensor measures the ambient temperature based on a user-configurable time interval or Heartbeat. When performing a measurement, the sensor momentarily energizes a thermistor in series with a precision resistor. This produces a voltage directly proportional to the temperature of the thermistor. The sensor converts the analog voltage signal to a digital value and computes the temperature measurement.
The ALTA Temperature Sensor can be user-calibrated for improved accuracy.
