Abstract:
1. A sensor foreign material exclusion device for measuring a property of an environment adjacent at least one surface of the device, comprising: a body adapted to seal a cavity of a construction, the body including a portion that is locatable in the cavity to seal a first side of the cavity from a second side of the cavity, wherein the body is a resilient body and has a portion that when inserted into the cavity is compressible and adapted to fit into the cavity and thereafter re-expandable to hold the device in place via a compression fit of the body in an internal location in the cavity thereby sealing the first side of the cavity from the second side of the cavity; a sensor operatively connected to the body and having a portion adapted to be located in the cavity, the sensor sensing a property of the cavity; and a transmitter operatively connected to the sensor and operatively connected to the body, the transmitter operable to transmit the conditions sensed by the sensor to a display device, wherein the transmitter is a cable that is integrated into a lanyard comprising a cable or cord that is operatively connected to the body and provides a physical connection for retracting the device from the cavity, wherein the transmitter is connected to the display device that displays the conditions sensed by the sensor.
