Remote Thermal Monitor

The Remote Thermal Monitor is a block from IC2 Nuclear Control. It is the remote version of Thermal Monitor, as implied by the name. It doesn't require direct connection to Nuclear Reactor, instead it requires a Sensor Location Card (which is created from a Remote Sensor Kit) and consumes, by default, 1 EU/t. Energy consumption can be increased via the remoteThermalMonitorEnergyConsumption configuration parameter. The Remote Thermal Monitor's default energy storage is 600 EU. Energy storage and max packet size can be increased with Energy Storage Upgrades. Power can be supplied via wires or with energy storage items from IndustrialCraft 2, like the RE-Battery.

The signal from the remote sensor can be received from up to 8 blocks in each direction away from the reactor. To increase range, the player must use the Range Upgrade. As an additional feature, this machine shows a progress bar of reactor heating. When the machine does not have enough power, the indicator shows a dark gray color. It will also indicates if the reactor can't be found with bluish-gray color.

The Remote Thermal Monitor can be rotated with a Wrench by sneaking while using it.
