Hardware Installation

Materials You Will Need

• Eyedro Temperature Meter box contents
• Thermal paste (optional – not included)
• Two (2) #8 (4.2mm) pan head, round head or button head mounting screws (optional – not included)
• Tie wraps (optional – not included)

Tools You Will Need

• Screwdriver (optional – for mounting)

Mount Eyedro Device

Vertical (wall) Mounting

1. Write down the 8-digit serial number from the back of the module. This will be required during software setup.
   • The serial number will be in the format “123 – 45678“
2. Find a clear area on the wall or surface to mount the device.
   • Make sure all cables will easily reach the module before securing.
3. Mark locations on the wall for the screws using the module as a template.
4. If preferred, drill a pilot hole in the marked locations using a 2.5 mm (7/64″) drill bit.
5. Drive the two (2) pan head screws into the wall surface through the flange holes on the sides of the enclosure.
6. Carefully tighten the screws until snug. Do not overtighten or it may cause damage to the flange(s).
7. Ensure secure fit.

Horizontal (surface) Mounting

Mounting is not required for horizontal installations (i.e., on a desktop or shelf). If added security is desired, follow instructions for vertical mounting using screws or double-sided tape.

Install Temperature Sensors

The glass fiber thermocouple(s), provided with the product, are great for measuring temperatures in hard-to-reach places, but best-suited for lighter use (-40°C to 125°C / -40°F to 257°F). Thermocouples like these ones measure temperature at the very tip, so you’ll want to put the tip of it at the point where you want the temperature reading to be taken.

IMPORTANT: The standard thermocouples are not waterproof and are not suitable for submerged applications.

1. Place the tip of the thermocouple in direct contact with the surface to measure the temperature.
2. Optionally, apply thermal paste or thermal padding between the surface and the thermocouple tip.
3. Route thermocouple cables to the Eyedro Temperature module and optionally secure cabling with tie wraps.
4. Optionally, use tape or other label to uniquely identify each sensor at the end of the wire nearest to the connector.

Connect Cabling

Important

• Ensure all connectors and sockets are free from damage prior to mating them.
• Ensure the retention clip on the Ethernet cable is intact.
• Never force connectors or apply levering action.
• Ensure all connections are secure.

1. Connect the pulse cable(s) to the sensor input ports (A or B) of the Eyedro Temperature Meter.
   • NOTE: The mating connector for the thermocouples are 1.3mm (i.d.) X 3.5mm (o.d.) X 9mm (length) barrel plug.
2. For devices that will connect to the internet via Ethernet, connect one end of Ethernet cable to Eyedro module.
3. For devices that will connect to the internet via Ethernet, connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the router (or Internet access point).Connect the appropriate end of the low-voltage power adapter to the Eyedro module.
4. Connect the appropriate end of the low-voltage power adapter to the Eyedro module.
   • Temperature monitoring devices use a power supply with a 5V DC output.
5. Plug the other end of the low-voltage power adapter into a nearby AC wall receptacle.
6. Optionally, secure all wiring neatly with tie wraps (not included).
