TSB/TWE/TWPTM Touchscreen Data Logger for DicksonOne
Quick Start Guide
Overview
This Quick-start Guide presents an overview of the Touchscreen data logger, with setup and connection instructions to get your device up and running on Ethernet or Wi-Fi. You can then register the device in DicksonOne to view data online, configure alarms, and much more.
What's in the Box
- Touchscreen Data Logger (TSB / TWE / TWP): The main data logging device.
- Replaceable Sensor(s): Your sensor may differ and be in another package. These connect to the logger to measure environmental parameters.
- AC Adapter: Powers the data logger.
- Mounting Plate: Used for mounting the Touchscreen Data Logger to a wall.
- Kickstand: Allows the device to stand on a flat surface when not mounted to a wall.
- Ethernet Cable: Used for connecting DicksonOne Units to a network.
Getting Started
- Plug sensors into the device.
- Plug the device into power.
- Press the power button on the side of the device to turn it on.

Notes About Sensors
The long, straight piece of the sensor is an extension arm for ambient temperature and temperature/humidity sensors. It is plugged directly into the device. When unplugging a Replaceable Sensor, wait 10 SECONDS before plugging it back in.
