Loggerflex Bun hygro User manual

Introduction

“bun hygro”or simply "bun" is a temperature and relative humidity (RH) recorder and alarm system, which measures temperature and RH in desired intervals and uploads the readings to a web-

based application via your home or office Wi-Fi. It is powered by an internal ultralong-life battery (up to 25 years). Recording intervals can be flexibly adjusted from 1 minute to 2 hours, and

upload intervals can vary from every minute to once a week. As an alarm system, "bun" immediately uploads the records if the measured values exceed or fall below the user-defined limits, and

then then notifies the user via e-mail and SMS

“bun” can store over 16,300 records on its internal memory, and syncs them via Wi-Fi to a cloud-based application named LoggerMaster. You can easily adjust measurement and recording

intervals through LoggerMaster. Please visit https://www.loggermaster.com.

Edit: By clicking on "Edit"you will access to "Device’s attributes" page where you can adjust your device’s parameters as follows:

•On/Off: By turning off your device you can suspend sending alarms and notifications from your device.

Note:In case you do not want to receive any notifications, you can switch your device to "Off" mode in “Device attributes”. Your device continues to record and upload even in off mode.

•Title: You can change the device's name appearing in your devices list and dashboard and assign a name to temperature and RH sensor separately.

•Reading dimension: You can change the reading dimension for each sensor of your device according to your preference (If applicable). Like °C or °F for temperature.

•Alarms: you can set your device to send notifications to you via email or text message at three (3) different situations:

1) If each of measured parameters (like temperature) exceedsor fallsfrom a maximum or minimum defined threshold.

2) If server does not receive any uploads for a certain defined time (in minutes)from your device.

3) If an error code is sent to the device. For example in case of low battery,the device will send error number 5. Please read error” chapter of current user manual to learn more about

meanings of each error code.

•Installation location: It will help you to locate your device if necessary.

•Wi-Fi settings: You can see the name of Wi-Fi that your "bun"is connected to. Also you can set a password for open setup network name “bun hygro” so nobody else can trigger your

device with a magnet and change the setup.

Note:You can always change Wi-Fi settings in your device by triggering “setup” mode as well by hovering a magnet for three (3) or more continuous seconds over magnet

sensor of the device (same as first time activation procedure).

•Reading and uploading intervals.

Note:Your device's battery life will be affected by intervals of readouts and uploads. LoggerMaster web-based application will show you the estimated battery life of the device based

on your settings.

Note: You can set “upload intervals” to “on demand” mode. In this mode your device will not try to connect to Wi-Fi unless you trigger "force upload"by hovering a magnet on

magnet sensor of the device.

Note: Device will try to upload readouts,stored in its internal memory,before reaching its maximum records capacity (16300 records). By reaching the maximum capacity, all

records will be deleted automatically and device continues logging like before.

Graphs:By clicking on "Graphs"icon, you will access the graphs of all previous uploaded records in any desired intervals. You can save the graph in PNG, JPG, PDF or SVG formats.

Details: You can view a detailed list of all uploaded records.

Reports: You can extract PDF reports (peak points, average, etc) for any desired interval and download detailed readings in Excel format.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Your device is semi-online. It will only sync with server when it tries to upload the readouts. If you change any setting on the website it won’t be applied to the

device before it syncs to server. You can enforce syncing by short magnet hover. Or device will receive new settings as soon as it syncs for next designated upload time.
