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.
