Activating your Outdoor Sensor is quick and easy.
Conserv makes the Smart Collection Sensor (SCS) that is tailored for collection professionals. However, Conserv also curates additional sensors for other uses that meet the Conserv standard. The LHT65 outdoor sensor is one of these devices.
What's in the box?
Inside the box, you will find the following items:
- The LHT65 or LHT65N-NE117 sensor
- A remote temperature probe
- A programming cable
Since Conserv currently does not support the external probe or user programming for this device, you can set both the probe and cable aside.
Activate the Outdoor Sensor
- For an LHT65 model, look to the bottom of the device for a button labeled "ACT". For an LHT65N model, the ACT button is on the top of the device.
- Press and hold the "ACT" button for about three seconds. After the device is activated, the indicator light will blink green five times quickly.
- After activation, the device begins reporting data to Conserv Cloud.

| Behavior on ACT | Function | Action |
| Pressing ACT between 1s < time < 3s | Test uplink status | If LHT65N has already joined the LoRaWAN network, LHT65N will send an uplink packet. If LHT65N has external sensor connected, Blue LED will blink once. If LHT65N has not external sensor, Red LED will blink once. |
| Pressing ACT for more than 3s | Activate Device | Green LED will fast blink 5 times. LHT65N will enter working mode and start to JOIN LoRaWAN network. Green LED will solidly turn on for 5 seconds after joining network. |
| Fast press ACT 5 times | Deactivate Device | Red LED will stay on for 5 seconds. It means the LHT65N is in Deep Sleep Mode. |
Mount the Sensor
Mount the sensor in a location that is sheltered from direct sunlight and rain to avoid data inconsistencies. Ideal spots include under the eaves of a building or in an outdoor hallway or breezeway.
