Temp/Humidity Eye Sensor Kit

Short description

The Datawrx Temperature & Humidity EYE Sensor Kit allows you to remotely monitor environmental conditions inside the bin room of a compatible ice-vending machine. Water droplets or condensation forming on the ceiling of the bin room can be an indication of high humidity. While condensation may appear harmless, excessive moisture can contribute to significant ice-handling problems. Humidity can collect on smaller pieces of ice and cause them to freeze together, creating large clumps inside the bin. These clumps may become lodged in the rake, screw, incline auger, or other parts of the ice-delivery system. This can place unnecessary strain on motors and mechanical components, potentially leading to jams, vend failures, equipment damage, and additional service calls.

The Teltonika EYE Sensor measures the temperature and relative humidity inside the bin room. These readings are transmitted wirelessly to MyVends monitoring, allowing you to review conditions without visiting the machine.

The sensor helps you:

  • Monitor bin-room temperature and humidity remotely
  • Identify periods of excessive humidity
  • Confirm whether visible condensation is associated with high humidity
  • Set alerts for readings outside your preferred limits
  • Compare environmental conditions before and after corrective changes
  • Detect conditions that may contribute to ice clumping
  • Evaluate how effectively a dehumidifier is removing moisture from the bin room


No additional sensor wiring to the PLC is required.

Measure the Effectiveness of Your Dehumidifier

The EYE Sensor is primarily a monitoring and diagnostic tool. It identifies changing environmental conditions, but it does not remove moisture from the bin room.

When high humidity is discovered, a Datawrx dehumidifier provides the primary solution by removing excess moisture from the air. The EYE Sensor can then be used to track the improvement and confirm how effectively the dehumidifier is controlling humidity over time.

Together, the products provide both sides of the solution:

The EYE Sensor measures and identifies the humidity problem.
The dehumidifier removes the excess moisture contributing to condensation and ice clumping.

Recommended Sensor Location

For the most relevant readings, the EYE Sensor should be installed inside the machine’s bin room where the ice is stored. Exact placement may vary depending on the machine’s layout, airflow, and the location of visible condensation.

Datawrx can help recommend a suitable mounting location for your machine.
