Seemoto System Equipment Setup and Installation Instructions
Sensors
TS - Temperature Sensor
TS Room temperature and THS
- Sensors must be positioned so that there are no products or other obstacles in front of them. Sensors should be visible and attached/positioned so that they are not hidden behind shelves, for example.
- The sensor must not be attached to metal and should be in an upright position with its front side (Seemoto sticker) facing the base station, room doorway, or open space.
- It is best to install the sensor slightly higher, but not higher than the doorway, for example.
TS room temperature installation instructions
TS Refrigerator
- The sensors should be placed on the second shelf from the top of the cabinet, at the front of the shelf, in an upright position. The sensor must not touch any products, so that the temperature reading is not distorted. Leave a few centimeters of free space around the sensor.
- The sensor can, for example, be hung from a shelf grid using a cable tie or alternatively placed in a plastic container so that the sensor is in an upright position.
- In a cabinet with drawers, the sensor can be attached vertically to the plastic partition using the adhesive backing on the back plate, as high as possible.
- The sensor must not be attached to the walls of the cabinet, nor should it be horizontal or in contact with metal.
- The sensor should be positioned so that the front of the sensor (Seemoto logo) faces outwards from the cabinet.
- If the refrigerator is recessed into the wall, pull the cabinet outwards so that the door seals are visible when viewed from the side. If there are three cabinets side by side, for example, pull the middle one out slightly so that its door seals are also visible when viewed from the side.

The wireless Seemoto sensor consists of two parts: the sensor itself and the backing plate.
- The backing plate activates the sensor. Without the backing plate, the sensor does not measure.
- The backing plate is also used for installing/mounting the sensor.
- The power light flashes once in the upper right corner of the front panel within 60 seconds of attaching/detaching the backplate.
The sensor installation location is selected based on the customer's instructions. If no specific instructions are provided, the sensor is installed in the cargo compartment as follows:
1
Hang the backing plate with a cable tie from the pipes/hoses/wires of the cooling/heating device or similar, taking the following points into account:
- The backing plate/sensor must not be in contact with metal, in the airflow of a heating or cooling device, or in the immediate vicinity of a door.
- The installation location should be chosen so that the sensor is not exposed to impacts and does not interfere with normal vehicle use.
2
After securing the backing plate, snap the sensor into place on the backing plate
- First, place the lower part of the sensor in position and then press the upper part of the sensor onto the backing plate. The sensor will click into place.
3
Finally, secure the sensor and backing plate with a cable tie
- This ensures that the sensor will not detach from the backing plate under any circumstances.

IAQS installation instructions
IAQS pressure difference
IAQS - Indoor air quality sensor using pressure differential measurement
The IAQS sensor with pressure difference measurement measures not only normal air quality parameters but also the air pressure difference between indoor and outdoor spaces. This is particularly important when monitoring clean rooms in pharmacies or other special facilities, for example.
Installation steps (with pressure differential measurement)
1
Mount the IAQS sensor on the wall as in the basic version, about 1.5 meters above the floor and in a central location in the room.
2
A thin measuring tube extends from the sensor for pressure differential measurement and must be routed to the outside.
3
Installation of the pressure differential measurement hose:
- Drill a 6-8 mm hole in the outer wall or window frame.
- Install the supplied copper pipe (feed-through) into the hole so that it extends to the outside.
- Seal the gap between the copper pipe and the wall/window frame completely airtight with silicone or acrylic sealant.
- Connect the pressure difference measurement hose to the copper pipe so that the hose is tightly attached but does not bend too much.
- Install a weather guard on the outside of the hose to prevent water and insects from entering the hose.
4
Inside, connect one end of the hose to the pressure differential measurement port on the IAQS sensor (marked “Pa” or with a similar label).
5
Plug in the sensor's power supply and let the device start up.
Points to Note When Measuring Pressure Differences
- The pressure difference measurement accuracy is ±0.5 Pascal (Pa), which is sufficient for most monitoring purposes.
- The measuring hose must not be kinked or pinched at any point.
- Ensure that the measurement point on the outside is not exposed to strong winds, which could distort the measurement result.
- Regularly check that the feed-through is still tight and that there are no blockages in the hose.
- If the pressure difference in the space changes suddenly, first check the condition of the measuring hose and the tightness of the feed-through.

REV - Range Extender
REV Installation Instructions
Installation and Use of the REV Signal Amplifier
REV (Range Extender) is a signal amplifier that extends the range of the sensor network. It is placed between the base station and the sensors in locations where direct signal transmission is weak or completely blocked. Such locations include other rooms, floors, or buildings.
Basic Principles of Investing
1
The REV should be positioned so that it receives a strong signal from the base station while also being closer to the sensors with weak signals.
2
The signal booster should be placed at least 5 meters away from the base station—not too close, but close enough to receive a sufficiently strong signal from the base station.
3
The ideal location is between two spaces, such as in a doorway or near a passageway.
Installation steps
1
Choose an installation location that meets the following criteria:
- High location, as with base stations (recommended 180-220 cm above floor level).
- Not directly against metal or near metal walls.
- Close to a power outlet, as the REV requires a constant power supply.
- Securely fastened so that the device cannot fall.
2
First, connect the device's power supply to the REV unit, and then plug it into an outlet.
3
Check that the LED on the device lights up and starts flashing.
Implementation and Operation
1
After startup, REV automatically begins searching for signals from a nearby access point.
2
Within about 10–15 minutes, the LED light will begin to glow steadily, indicating that the REV has found the base station and started transmitting the signal.
3
Full operational readiness is achieved in about 30 minutes, at which point the LED light stays on continuously.
Please note
- REV always requires a continuous power supply to operate—a power failure will also interrupt signal amplification.
- Multiple REV devices can be installed in a single system to extend the signal in different directions.
- If the signal does not improve after installing the REV device, try moving the device closer to the sensors or base station.
- After a power failure, REV restarts automatically and does not require manual restarting.
