TST300v3 Precision Temperature Sensor User Manual
Short description
TST300v3/v4 (successors of TST300) is a high accuracy temperature sensor with
an RS-485 interface. The device doesn’t need external power supply, it is
powered through the interface.
The temperature sensor integrates a band-gap temperature sensor element plus
signals processing and provides a fully calibrated digital output. The
temperature sensors are factorycalibrated. The calibration data is stored in
the non-volatile memory. This ensures fully interchangeable of the sensors
without any extra efforts.
The sensor is delivered with one-meter standard patch cable with RJ45
connectors. A 19” rack mount kit can be ordered separately.
Features
- RS-485 interface carrying up to 32 nods
- LED indicator for status of communication
- Changeable bitrate and another communication parameters
- Firmware update via the interface
Applications
- Server room and data centers temperature monitoring and logging
- High precision temperature monitoring and logging for food and drug storages
- Environmental quality monitoring and assessment
- Temperature monitoring in building management systems

8 | GND | Brown |
Installation
A daisy-chained (linear) topology for multiple sensors should be used. UTP/FTP cables with RJ-45 connectors are used for interconnection. The popular ANSI/TIA/EIA T568B wiring is used. Standard patch LAN cables are recommended.
Attention:
The last sensor in the chain should have a 120 ohm terminator installed on the
free RJ-45 socket. The terminator is delivered with the module.
Installation tips
The location and the mounting position of the sensor have a direct effect on the accuracy of the measurement. The tips below will ensure good measuring results:
- Sensor shall be installed about 1.2-1.4 m above the floor;
- To avoid solar radiation, the sensor should not be installed next to windows or directly in the sunlight;
- Sensors shall be installed in a place with sufficient air circulation.
- Sensors shall be wall mounted with vent holes up/down to ensure air circulation.
Status indicator
The status of the device is shown by single LED, located on the front panel:
- If the LED blinks on period of 1 second, sensor works properly;
- If the LED blinks on period of 3 seconds, there isn‘t communication with the controller;
- If LED doesn‘t blink, there isn‘t a power supply.
Factory default settings
Disconnect the sensor from the bus (switch off the power supply).
Press and hold the “config” button. Don’t release the button, connecting the
sensor to the bus (switch on the power supply).
The “status” LED will be ON for 3 seconds and after this will flash for 7
seconds. After the 10th second the LED will be ON.
Release the button. The sensor will restart with factory default settings.
Firmware update
The firmware of the sensor can be updated with a Teracom controller which supports MODBUS RTU or MBRTU-Update software. For more details ask your dealer.

The shown logic decimal addresses are calculated with offsets 40001 (holding registers).
MSWF – Most significant word first – (bits 31 … 16), (bits 15 … 0); LSWF –
Least significant word first – (bits 15 … 0), (bits 31 … 16);
PDU address – Actual address bytes used in a Modbus Protocol Data unit When a
floating-point value is not available, the returned value is “NaN” (e.g. in
case of measurement error).
The settings will take effect after restarting the device by power-off, power-
on.
Measured sensor values can be corrected by employing a multiplier and an
offset.
The corrections are the results of the following calculations:
Corrected Temperature (°C) = Measured Temperature (°C) × Temperature
Multiplier + Temperature Offset (°C) Using a multiplier and an offset allows
precise adjustments to the sensor readings, ensuring accurate temperature
values.
It’s crucial to emphasize that the multiplier and offset are applicable
exclusively in degrees Celsius. After obtaining the corrected temperature in
Celsius, it can then be converted to Fahrenheit.
Recycling
