Probe Placement
For Temperature and Humidity Reading:
Place the probe between 1-3 inches from the device so that heat will flow directly towards the
sensor.
Scout Probe can be directly mounted
to a chassis using double sided tape
or Velcro
For Airflow Reading:
Place the probe between 1-3 inches from the device so airflow will flow perpendicular to each
sensor tip
For Rack Mounting:
AFI provides an optional rack mount kit P-RM. Sensor probes plug directly into a goose head
mount providing actual positioning. The P-RM mounts directly to most racks taking up a 1RU
space
Connecting Scout Probes:
Scout probes are connected to Scout using a standard USB to mini USB cable. When using the R-
RM the Scout probe is directly connected to the mount. The cable is connected to the rear of the
mounting arm. In both cases the maximum distance is 25 feet or 7.6 meters.
In order to comply with FCC radiation requirements, the ferrite
clamp provided with the USB cable must be positioned
approximately 2 inches from the side connected directly to Scout.
Probes can be inserted and removed while Scout is powered on. If an email address has been
programmed in the Global settings and email alert will be sent.
