OverviewTS60x is a 4G temperature and humidity sensor designed for reliable cold-chain monitoring during storage and transport of food and pharmaceuticals. It delivers continuous, traceable measurements and event alerts to reduce loss, ensure compliance and protect product quality.
Product variants- TS601 — internal sensing version with status LED.
- TS602 — external-probe version with 0.96-inch OLED display and 5-pin M12 connector supporting TH / DS18B20 / PT100 probes.
Key capabilities & features- Cellular connectivity: LTE Cat.1 (4G) for wide-area remote monitoring and real-time alerts.
- Multi-parameter sensing: temperature, humidity, ambient light (door-open detection), tilt/position (abnormal motion detection) and cell-based location reporting.
- IP67-rated multi-layer sealing to prevent condensation and moisture intrusion for cold-chain operation.
- Long-life, replaceable battery bay (typical up to ~4.8 years under specified reporting conditions).
- Flexible installation: cable ties, 3M tape, wall screws or magnetic mounting (magnetic accessory optional).
- Multiple probe support (TS602): PT100, DS18B20 and TH-type probes for air or product-core measurements.
- Smart reporting: routine aggregated data for endurance and immediate high-priority alerts for excursions, door events or tilt incidents.
- One-tap log retrieval to instantly download stored device logs.
- Flight Mode scheduling to suspend cellular transmissions during air transport (aviation compliance workflow).
- NFC-based configuration for quick setup of thresholds and intervals without opening the enclosure.
- Local data storage with retransmit capability after connectivity loss.
Cold chain-specific advantages- Food-contact-safe housing (ABS+PC) with recommended mounting guidance for food applications.
- Dedicated probe options and accessories for food and pharmaceutical measurements (food-grade PT100, thermal buffer bottles, glass-bead buffers).
- Light sensor for door-open detection and event triggering.
- Tilt sensor to detect drops, impacts or abnormal motion and generate alerts.
- Cell-based positioning to help track asset movement and prepare receiving/handover operations.
Accessories & probe ecosystem- Optional probes: DS18B20, PT100 variants (regular/food/industrial/low-temp), thermal buffer bottles and glass-bead buffers.
- Mounting accessories: brackets, magnetic nuts, 3M tape kits and other cold-chain fittings matched to TS602.
