  • The LED indicator on the side helps with troubleshooting connectivity issues. See this troubleshooting article for more information.

  • The expansion port is for future extra sensors that will plug into the Pulse Pro.

  • The temperature/RH vents are not protected from water or splashes. Make sure not to get any water on there.

Back

  • The CO2 vent is protected by a waterproof, gas permeable membrane.

  • The power plug uses a 5v 3.5*1.35 mm barrel plug that is provided with the device. *The device needs to be plugged in to remain fully functional*

  • There's a cable routing system to help route the power cable either up or down. You can hang the device by the cable.
