DATAGRABBER RapidRH L6 with Bluetooth User manual

Wagner Meters provides two distinct DataGrabbers®which
will signicantly enhance your documentation of Rapid RH®
L6 Smart Sensor readings. DataGrabbers automate the reading
collection process by interfacing to an L6 sensor, allowing the
sensor itself to store relative humidity (RH) and temperature
readings on a periodic basis while you are away from the
job site. The DataGrabber with Bluetooth® features a built-
in wireless connection to your smart device. Alternatively,
the non-wireless version of the DataGrabber uses the
Bluetooth®-enabled Total Reader® to communicate to your
smart device.
The DataGrabber with Bluetooth easily inserts into an L6
sensor and directly connects with the free DataMaster™
L6 app for automated collection of time and date-stamped
concrete RH and temperature readings. The DataMaster
L6 app allows you to congure the time interval that the
DataGrabber with Bluetooth will periodically engage the L6
Smart Sensor to collect and store readings, keep a running
clock of acclimation time, download the time and date-
stamped readings and much more.
The non-wireless DataGrabber performs the same automated
and data gathering tasks as the DataGrabber with Bluetooth
but, as mentioned above, requires the Total Reader as the
Bluetooth conduit to the DataMaster L6 app.
By using a DataGrabber to enable an L6 sensor to store up to
512 RH and temperature readings on a time and date-stamped
basis, you can achieve a better understanding of the drying
process as well as the dynamics that may be affecting the
concrete drying time. Utilizing RH and temperature readings
acquired from an L6 sensor with a DataGrabber, data analysis
and trending is also possible in the DataMaster L6 app.

The DataGrabber with Bluetooth is a self-contained unit
that automates the concrete RH and temperature reading
collection and storage process inside Rapid RH L6 Smart
Sensors and transmits the data to the free DataMaster L6
app. Snap the DataGrabber with Bluetooth into an L6 Smart
Sensor, then use the DataMaster L6 app to set up time
intervals for all DataGrabbers with Bluetooth to engage their
L6 Smart Sensors to record and store time and date-stamped
concrete RH and temperature readings for days, weeks, or
months at a time.
The DataGrabber with Bluetooth can also be accessed
through the DataMaster L6 app to set the device name, view
acclimation time, and download sensor data.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If the DataGrabber with Bluetooth does not show up on the
DataMaster L6 Devices screen.
• Check the connection between the DataGrabber and
the L6 Smart Sensor.
• Ensure that the battery is seated properly or replace the
battery as necessary.
Device Name: This will be the unique identier of your
device. The device name can be up to 12 characters long.
NOTE: There will be a default name present in the Device
Name eld, but you will likely want to rename it.
Acclimation Time: The amount of time elapsed (in days)
before the DataGrabber will automatically capture (grab) a
measurement and store in the L6 Smart Sensor’s memory
as the acclimated time measurement of both RH and
temperature. For instance, setting an acclimation time of one
day and then starting, the DataGrabber will wait 24 hours and
“grab” a measurement for storage in the L6 Smart Sensor’s
memory. In most cases, it is highly recommended to use
one day as the acclimation time, given that 24 hours is the
minimum equilibration time specied by the ASTM F2170
standard for getting ofcial, documentable RH readings.
Log Interval: In addition to the reading captured (grabbed)
when the Acclimation Time has elapsed (see above), an
L6 sensor, through the DataGrabber with Bluetooth, will
begin to capture readings at a certain interval, dened as
the Log (datalogging) Interval. This datalogging of RH and
temperature readings begins as soon as the DataGrabber with
Bluetooth is inserted into the sensor, and a new set of readings
is logged everytime the Log Interval is met. The default and
minimum Log Interval is 1 hour.
Log Duration: A calculation of the total number of days that
periodic time and date-stamped readings will be taken based
on the set log interval and the L6 Smart Sensor’s maximum
memory storage of 512 data points. Once this limit is reached,
the rst stored reading will be overwritten.
Write Settings to Device: Whenever you change the
conguration of the DataGrabber, you must click the Write
Settings to Device button in order to save the settings.
Default Settings: If you wish to use the acclimation time and
log interval settings as the default settings for one or more
additional DataGrabbers, click the Save Defaults button. This
saves the settings displayed as your default settings. Then
select another DataGrabber and go to the Settings screen.
Click the Load Defaults button. The default settings will
now be displayed for this device. Be sure to also click the
Write Settings to Device button to save the default settings to
this DataGrabber.
Start and Stop: After you have saved the desired settings
and are ready to begin data logging, click the Start button to
signal to the DataGrabber to begin the acclimation time.
NOTE: The clock in the DataGrabber will automatically
synchronize to the clock on your mobile device.

DATA COLLECTION
Insert the DataGrabber into the L6 Smart Sensor as shown
and use the Total Reader and DataMaster L6 app to congure
the time interval for periodic readings.
RAPID RH L6 WAGNER METERS
CONFIGURATION
The DataGrabber can be congured to take time and date-
stamped concrete RH and temperature readings and store
them for later retrieval using the Total Reader and DataMaster
L6 app.
To congure the DataGrabber, rst place the Total Reader to
make contact with the DataGrabber inserted in a L6 Smart
Sensor. Once contact is made, the DataGrabber then appears
on the DataMaster L6 app’s Devices screen. The screen
displays devices in order according to greatest signal power.
Therefore, the DataGrabber should be at the top of the list
of devices, since you will most likely be holding the Total
Reader near your mobile device.

Each DataGrabber can be congured for device name,
acclimation time, and log interval. From the Devices
screen, select the DataGrabber you wish to congure. Next,
click the Settings button. The DataGrabber is available for
conguration if the Settings button is green. If the Settings
button is grey, then you will need to troubleshoot the device’s
connection and/or check the battery.
Device Name: This will be the unique identier of your
device. The device name can be up to 12 characters long.
Acclimation Time: The Acclimation period is the time
(number of days) from the start that the DataGrabber will
automatically capture (grab) a measurement and store in
the L6 Smart Sensor’s memory as the acclimated time
measurement of both RH and temperature. For instance,
setting an acclimation time of one day and then starting, the
DataGrabber will wait 24 hours and “grab” a measurement
for storage in the L6 Smart Sensor’s memory. In most cases,
it is highly recommended to use one day as the acclimation
time, given that 24 hours is the wait time specied by the
ASTM F2170 standard for getting ofcial, documentable RH
readings. After this rst measurement, other periodic logging
continues to occur regardless of the acclimation time period.
Log Interval: Set the desired time (number of hours)
between periodic readings. These are the readings that will
be “grabbed” after the initial acclimation time has occurred.
Write Settings to Device: Whenever you change the
conguration of the DataGrabber, you must click the Write
Settings to Device button in order to save the settings.
Default Settings: If you wish to use the acclimation time and
