Overview
The ST6105J, ST6105C and ST6154J Soft Thermometers are RS232 compatible serial devices
based on the Sensorsoft Device Protocol (SSDP). The ST6105C and ST6105J have a built-in
temperature sensor and are intended for applications requiring measurement of temperature in
heated or air conditioned rooms and warehouses. These products are not conformal coated and
are therefore not intended for environments with high moisture or condensation.
The ST6154J has an external stainless steel probe for measuring temperature in the following
applications or environments:
outdoors
refrigerators, freezers and cold rooms
pools and saunas
in liquids or on pipes
Only the probe portion of the ST6154J is suitable for exposure in the above listed environments.
The plastic electronic housing must be protected from moisture, condensation and sunlight (UV).
Sensorsoft devices offer the following benefits over other RS232 serial devices:
Powered from the serial port (no external power or battery required)
CRC error detection (detects transmission errors and improves reliability) (SSDP only)
Virtually unlimited cable lengths (1000 ft) (SSDP only)
Plug and go operation (little or no user configuration required)
Sensorsoft makes several SSDP-compliant software applications that permit you to read these
thermometers, send alerts, record and (in some cases) graph data. These include:
Sensorsoft Remote Watchman Client (RWMC) for Windows
Sensorsoft Remote Watchman Enterprise (RWME) for Windows
Sensorsoft Serial Communications Tool (SCOM) for Linux and UNIX
Sensorsoft Alert Appliance (SSA)
In addition, there are many manufacturers who provide support for Sensorsoft devices within
their products. Some of these include:
ServersCheck Sensor Gateway and software
Lantronix SecureLinx (SLC) Console Manager
Evertz, Harris and Miranda/Grass Valley broadcast TV products
As of firmware version 6.5, Sensorsoft Thermometers respond to Simple Text Commands when
used with a text-based terminal or scripting language. Additionally, we’ve provided several
means for customers to write software integrating Sensorsoft devices into their systems. This is
discussed further in the section, Writing custom software programs for the Sensorsoft
Thermometer.

Sensorsoft Thermometer User’s Manual
Installing the Sensorsoft Thermometer
Installation of the Sensorsoft Thermometer requires the following steps:
Choosing an Installation Location
Connecting the Sensorsoft Thermometer to a serial port
Starting the Sensorsoft software. (Please refer to the specific software manual that applies to
your installation.)
Choosing an Installation Location
Model ST6105C and ST6105J
Locate the Sensorsoft Thermometer close to the equipment or airflow you’re monitoring. Since
the ST6105C/J Sensorsoft Thermometer isn’t waterproof or weatherproof, keep the following
rules in mind:
Keep the Sensorsoft Thermometer housing out of contact with direct sunlight, UV exposure,
and dripping water.
Protect the Sensorsoft Thermometer from high traffic areas that could wear/damage the
housing or cable.
Never allow the plastic housing of the Sensorsoft Thermometer to come into contact with
harsh chemicals or cleaning agents. If the housing needs to be cleaned, use a damp cloth or
vacuum cleaner.
Use a Velcro fastener (P/N F1000 or F1001) to affix the Sensorsoft Thermometer to a stable
surface.
Model ST6154J
This Sensorsoft Thermometer has an external stainless steel probe, that may be exposed to liquids
or outdoor environments. The plastic housing of the ST6154J, however, has the same restrictions
as the ST6105C/J models above.
Connecting the Sensorsoft Thermometer to a serial port
If you have a ST6105C (C-Suffix) Sensorsoft Thermometer, plug its molded DB-9F connector
into an available RS232 serial port connector (DB-9M) on your computer or device server.
If you have an ST6105J or ST6154J (J-Suffix) Sensorsoft Thermometer, use the appropriate
C200X cable to connect this device to your computer or device server. (Please refer to the
Sensorsoft price list for available types of cables).
If you intend to make a custom cable for a J-Suffix Sensorsoft device, please refer to Making
communication cables for J-Suffix Sensorsoft Devices.

Sensorsoft Thermometer User’s Manual
When connecting a Sensorsoft Thermometer to a serial port or device/console server, configure
the port as follows:
1200 bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
Turn off autobaud
Flow control set to “None”
Non-telnet binary (raw) transfer mode
Assert RTS and DTR always
If using a device/console server, refer to its documentation for more details on the above.
Note the physical port number where you plugged the cable into your computer or device/console
server. If the Sensorsoft Thermometer is being plugged into a Windows based computer that has
only one COM port, the port number is usually COM1. If you are using a USB to serial adapter,
you need to refer to the operating system’s serial port (COM) listing. In Microsoft Windows, this
is usually “Device Manager->Ports (COM&LPT).” In Linux or UNIX, refer to the /dev/tty
directory.
