When the Environment Monitor starts, it scans the connected sensors first. This defines the available measurement parameters and offers them for selection. In other words, the connected sensors determine what your device can and should measure. Each sensor has an integrated electronics module that convert the measurement data into a digital signal that the EM5010A can process. Thanks to symmetrical data transmission, the distance between the sensor and the device is not critical.
For sensor calibration, the calibration data is stored in a secured area within the sensor itself. This allows you to use a sensor with different devices, as the calibration data is always present and associated with the sensor.
As a special feature, most of our sensors include an accelerometer to detect movements. These movements are also recorded by the EM5010A. This allows you to detect any tampering with the sensor and take it into account when evaluating the measurement data.
A list of all available sensors can be found on a dedicated page along with detailed specifications. If you require a measurement method that is not yet listed, please contact us directly – we will find a solution.
