Azuga Temperature Sensors, probe, bridge and extension cables

← All cables and accessories

What these parts are for

A temperature probe lets an Azuga asset tracker report the temperature of something other than the vehicle. Think refrigerated trailers, tankers and other loads where a warm reading matters. The probe plugs into the tracker's 1-Wire input and the cables stretch the run to where the probe has to sit. Everything here is sold by Azuga in its official shop, shop.azuga.com.

The parts Azuga lists

Where the probe connects

On the GV620MG, Azuga's install guide names four of the 18 wires. The gray wire on pin 9 is the 1-Wire temperature sensor input. Azuga's tech spec for the tracker lists 1-wire support for up to eight sensors, a 3.3 volt output and four configurable digital inputs or outputs. The tracker is made for trailers, tankers, reefers and flatbeds. For the full wire list, see the GV620MG page.

Azuga also says that only the red and black wires are supported for installation on the GV600 family, and for other wires you should contact customer care. A temperature probe uses one of those other wires, so confirm that it is supported on your unit before you promise a customer a temperature report.

Which part do I need?

• New probe on a GV620MG: the probe, HTS-014, and the bridge cable if your install needs it.
• Probe has to sit far from the tracker: add the 9 ft or 18 ft extension. Count how long the run really is first.
• Older GV600: use the dedicated GV600 temperature cable, GV600GM-TEMP. The newer cables are not listed for it.
• Not sure what the bridge cable does: ask Azuga. The shop does not say.

Before you promise temperature alerts

Azuga's shop sells probes and cables that attach to its asset trackers. Azuga has not published which temperature alerts and reports the portal gives. Ask Azuga what the portal reports, and test one probe on a bench and in a trailer, before you promise a reefer customer temperature alerts.

What Azuga has not published

• The probe's measurement range and accuracy.
• How often the temperature is reported, and whether the GV620MG's long standby changes that.
• What alerts and reports the portal gives for temperature.
• Whether one tracker can show several probes by name.

One page for each temperature part

Each part below has its own page with the shop price, what it does, what to check and how we would use it. Part photos are from the Azuga shop.

Which Azuga tracker takes a temperature sensor?

The GV620MG rechargeable asset tracker has a gray wire, pin 9, listed as a 1-Wire temperature sensor input. Azuga's spec page lists 1-wire support for up to 8 sensors. The older GV600 has its own temperature cable in the shop.

Does Azuga offer cargo temperature monitoring?

Azuga sells temperature probes and cables in its shop for its asset trackers. Ask Azuga exactly what the portal reports and what the probe is meant to measure before you promise a customer temperature alerts.

What range and accuracy does the probe have?

Azuga has not published them on the pages we read. Ask for the sensor data sheet if the load is sensitive.

Is engine temperature the same thing?

No. Engine temperature tracking comes from the vehicle's own data through the tracker. A temperature probe is a separate sensor you add to an asset tracker.
