# Probe installation

TX TEMP CONT1 + BLACK BULB PROBE: probe installation

The black globe sensor is installed by suspension in order to measure radiant temperature at the heart of the occupants' comfort zone.

## Suspension installation (the "pendulum")

Since it has no rigid mounting, the globe must be suspended in free air to capture the radiation from all the room's surfaces.

* **The attachment point** : Secure the sensor cable to the ceiling or to a high structure (beam, cable tray) using a cable tie or a hook.
* **Height adjustment** : Let the globe hang down to the measurement zone.
* **Securing** : Make sure the globe does not swing too much if it is placed near a draft, to prevent it from hitting a wall or a machine.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Tighten the cable gland on the enclosure properly to ensure a seal and hold the cable in place, thus ensuring that the weight of the suspended sensor does not pull on the internal terminal block.
{% endhint %}

## Strategic location

* **Distance from walls** : Do not let the globe hang too close to a wall (keep at least 50 cm). If it touches the wall, it will no longer measure ambient radiation but the surface temperature by contact.
* **Cleanliness** : The matte black globe is sensitive. Avoid touching it with greasy fingers during installation, as this changes its heat absorption properties.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://enless.gitbook.io/centre-aide/guides-installation/documentation-en/sensors/editor-10/use/probe-installation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
