Why is the temperature reading on the internal sensor higher than the external sensors?
The internal temperature sensor measures the ambient air temperature inside the TemPageR or Room Alert 7E device. Under normal operating conditions, the device can generate some heat internally that can cause the internal sensor to register a temperature that is a few degrees higher than the external sensors. This is normal and the temperature can be calibrated using the settings applet.
Click the 'Settings' link and go to the 'Alerts' tab. Enter a Celsius value in the 'Adjust' field to calibrate the internal sensor reading to match the readings from the external sensors. For example, if the internal temperature is two (2) degrees Celsius higher than the external sensor, put a '-2' in the 'Adjust' field for Sensor 1.
