TSM400-1-TH 1-Wire temperature and humidity sensor Version 1.2 / March 2023
USER MANUAL
www.teracomsystems.com
Short description
TSM400-1-TH is a temperature and humidity sensor that supports the 1-Wire protocol. A unique capacitive element is used for measuring relative humidity while the temperature is measured by a band gap sensor. Both sensors are seamlessly coupled to a 12-bit analog to digital converter. This results in superior signal quality.
The TSM400-4-TH sensor is housed in a slim plastic enclosure. The bottom part of the enclosure is suitable for installation on standard flush-mounted/cavity wall boxes ø68mm, with installation openings on 61 mm.
Features
- LED indicator for status of communication
- Excellent long-term stability
- Firmware update with Teracom controller via the 1-Wire interface
Applications
- Environmental quality monitoring and assessment for offices.
- Humidity and temperature monitoring in building management systems.
- Smart ventilation systems.

* Recommended operating range is 20% to 80% RH (non-condensing) over –10 °C to 60 °C Prolonged operation beyond these ranges may result in a shift of sensor reading, with slow recovery time.
** Higher drift values might occur due to contaminant environments with vaporized solvents, out-gassing tapes, adhesives, packaging materials, etc.

Installation
It is strongly recommended to use UTP/FTP cables and daisy-chained (linear) topology for multiple sensors and keep the total cable length up to 30 meters.
“Star” topology can be used only as a last resort for up to 4 sensors and a total cable length of up to 10 meters.
Status indicator
The status of the device is shown by a single LED, located inside the box:
- If the LED blinks for a period of 1 second, the sensor works properly;
- If the LED blinks for a period of 3 seconds, there isn‘t communication with the controller;
- If the LED doesn’t blink, there isn’t a power supply.
Installation tips
The location and the mounting position of sensors have a direct effect on the accuracy of the
measurements. The tips below will ensure good measuring results:
- The 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;
- The sensors shall be installed in a place with sufficient air circulation.

TSM400-1-TH sensor is intended for installation on a cavity wall box with 68mm diameter and 61 mm screw spacing.
Firmware update
The firmware of the sensor can be updated with any Teracom controller which supports a 1-Wire interface. For more details ask your dealer.
Recycling
Recycle all applicable material.
Do not dispose of regular household refuse.
