1 - Introduction
The Smart Temperature Relay Switch (STRS) provides switched control of user
equipment based on specified trigger criteria. Useful in a vast array of applications, the
STRS is designed to provide many years of reliable operation.
Companion Windows application software permits configuration of a variety of settings
including trigger limits (temperature and/or relative humidity). The STRS communicates
with the host PC via a USB-to-RS232 adapter cable (included). Once configuration is
complete, the Windows application is no longer needed (unless logging is desired).
The STRS accepts wireless (RF) sensors as well as optional wired peripherals such as
temperature-activated switches. (Virtually any non-voltage switch may be an acceptable
wired input.) The system is expandable up to four (4) wireless sensors and four (4) wired
switches.
The STRS is ideally suited for any application where it may be necessary to evoke an
action based on changes in temperature and/or relative humidity such as the following:
•Exhaust systems
•Farming & agriculture
•Climate control
•Greenhouse monitoring
•Environmental control
•Industrial automation
•Plant & produce cultivation
•Freezer alarms & refrigeration systems

1.1 - Features
The STRS provides an array of viable features and options:
•Configurable settings including setpoint triggers for temperature and/or relative
humidity
•Four (4) LED indicators show trigger status:
•Trigger-pending = solid red
•Trigger-active = flashing red
•Available low-cost RF sensors for remote temperature/humidity monitoring.
Applicable temperature range listed below (Celsuis and Farenheit).
•-40 deg.C to 70 deg.C
•-40 deg.F to 15 deg.F
Note: Accurate to +/- 2 deg.F
•Applicable humidity range listed below:
•1% to 99%
Note: Accurate to +/- 3%, +/- 5%
•Four (4) wired inputs for optional wired switches, thermostats, etc.
•Expandable up to four (4) RF sensors and four (4) wired switches
•Onboard Form-C relay (contact ratings: 10A @ 125VAC, 6A @ 277VAC, 5A @
30VDC)
•Windows host monitoring via USB (adapter cable included)
•DB-9F (female) connector

1.2 - Trigger Activation
The STRS utilizes compatible wireless sensors for transmitting temperature and relative
humidity measurements. You may define trigger limits values relevant to these
measurements. For each desired sensor, a unique set of high and low limits can be
configured.
Note: Limits may be defined for tem erature and/or relative humidity.
A trigger activation occurs when a defined temperature or humidity trigger limit is
breached. The violation can result in relay activation and/or piezo (beeper) annunciation,
depending on your prescribed trigger settings.
Note: O tional wired switches may also be utilized to generate trigger activations.
6
2 - Setup
Setup primarily involves the following operations:
•Install USB drivers (using the CD included with the adapter cable)
•Install STRS host application software (using download file “strs_setup.zip”).
•Connect the USB adapter cable (DB-9 end to STRS controller and USB end to
the host PC)
•Connect the AC power adapter (barrel plug end to STRS controller and opposite
end to a 110vac outlet).
Additional setup & installation details are provided in subsequent sections of this manual.

3 - Wireless Sensors
The following Acurite wireless (RF) devices are compatible:
•6002M - Temperature + humidity, indoor/outdoor, a.k.a, 6002RM, 592TXR
•6044M - Temperature + humidity, indoor only, featuring LCD display
•6053M - Range extender/repeater, indoor/outdoor
Follow the instructions included with your Acurite device for installation instructions and
operational details.
Notes:
•Acurite sensors ty ically include a channel select switch (A, B, or C). The STRS
laces no de endence on this setting. Therefore, you may choose any desired
channel.
4 - Wired Switches
WARNING: Be sure that ower is disconnected until all wiring has been com leted and
verified.
The STRS controller accepts four optional wired peripherals such as push-button
switches, temperature-activated switches, thermostats, etc. (Virtually any non-voltage
switch may be applied to a wired input.) To apply your switch device to a wired input,
perform the following operations:
•Disconnect the STRS power source.
•Detach cover by removing the retaining screws.
•Locate the 14-position wiring terminal connector. (Refer to TB-1 Wiring
Connections.)
•Attach wires as necessary, being careful to utilize the proper wire slots. (Each
switch has a designated input terminal and a return.)
•Replace the cover and secure with retaining screws.
•Restore power to the STRS controller.
Note: Wired switch in ut(s) must be a ro riately configured and enabled.

5 - TB-1 Wiring Connections
The STRS controller provides a 14-position wiring block with the following screw
terminal connections.
Terminal Description
1 +12VDC in/out
2 Ground
3 Reset (active-low)
4 Wired switch / thermostat #1
5 Wired switch / thermostat #2
6 Wired switch / thermostat #3
7 Wired switch / thermostat #4
Switch return #1
9 Switch return #2
10 Switch return #3
11 Switch return #4
