Some monitoring needs are not covered by a standard temperature sensor alone. Businesses may also need to check light levels, motion, vibration, distance, current, or external temperature points. Plumsense additional sensors and probes help support these special monitoring needs simply and reliably.
This category includes products like D100, D100-P-LS, D100-P-PIR, D100-P-T, D100-P-TH, D100-P-VIB, TB100, TCT10, and TF100. These products can help extend monitoring across different areas of your facility.
Extra Probes for Better Monitoring Coverage
In many facilities, one built-in sensor is not enough. A refrigerator, freezer, storage room, equipment area, or machine may need an external probe to check conditions at the right point.
The D100 supports compatible external probes and can be useful when you need more flexible monitoring. It helps extend the function of the TempTag™ D100 data logger across different monitoring needs.
For temperature-only monitoring, the D100-P-T External Temperature Probe can be used to check the temperature in a specific area. For both temperature and humidity, the D100-P-TH External Temperature and Humidity Probe can help teams track two important readings from one probe.
Sensors for Light, Motion, and Vibration
Some businesses need to know more than temperature and humidity. They may need to check if light is present, if motion is detected, or if equipment vibration has changed.
The D100-P-LS Light Intensity Sensor can help monitor light levels in selected areas. This can be useful where light exposure needs to be checked.
The D100-P-PIRExternal Passive Infrared Motion Sensor can help detect motion in a monitored space. It can be useful for storage areas, rooms, or locations where movement tracking is helpful.
The D100-P-VIB can help detect object vibration status. This can support monitoring for equipment, machines, or areas where vibration changes may need attention
Distance and Current Monitoring Options
Some facilities also need distance or current monitoring as part of daily operations. The TB100 is a multifunctional ultrasonic distance sensor designed to detect small-range areas and small blind spots. It can be useful where distance measurement is needed.
The TF100 is a Time-of-Flight distance sensor used to detect fill levels and position status. This can help businesses monitor selected containers, equipment areas, or position-based conditions.
The TCT10 is a LoRaWAN Smart Current Transformer designed for remote energy monitoring and consumption analysis. It can help teams track current usage in supported electrical systems.
Additional sensors and probes are used to monitor specific conditions such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, motion, vibration, distance, fill level, and energy consumption. They help businesses collect more detailed data from different parts of their facility.
Built-in sensors measure conditions around the device, while external probes can be placed in a specific area where direct measurement is needed. This is useful for refrigerators, storage units, equipment areas, product zones, or hard-to-reach spaces.
Yes. Plumsense additional probes include options for external temperature monitoring and temperature-humidity monitoring. These probes help track environmental conditions more accurately in controlled storage, equipment, and facility areas.
A vibration probe is used to detect object or equipment vibration status. It can help teams monitor movement, machine activity, or abnormal vibration conditions in industrial, storage, or facility monitoring applications.
Yes. Distance sensors such as ultrasonic or ToF sensors can help detect short-range distance, fill levels, object position, or small blind spots. They are useful when teams need to monitor physical changes without manual checking.
The right sensor or probe depends on what you need to measure, such as temperature, humidity, motion, light, vibration, distance, or energy usage. It also depends on the installation location, required accuracy, device compatibility, and monitoring purpose.
