Temperature Monitor for RV (post 2 of 4)

Prep for sensor #1 (Exterior)

Drilled 2 holes in Food Storage Container (FSC) base. Size for round-head Robertson metal screws. Mounting surface will be sheet metal. Base has no ventilation holes, keep watertight if possible.




Top view. Sometimes you might be looking down through the translucent snap-on lid to see what was good to eat. Not today!

Our temp sensor is stuck to the underside of the FSC using double-sided tape (here using little squares). Four ventilation holes have been drilled. This "top" will be the bottom in our install.




This view shows the sensor face-up with its back stuck to FSC lid. The sensor can still be taken apart for battery replacement.
FSC has a secure closing mechanism.
