Product Overview
RN400-H2 is a WiFi-based data logger with a high-performance temperature-humidity sensor
installed. Powered by batteries, it operates in wireless settings and its waterproof and dustproof
design allows for application in a wide range of working conditions. All sensor data is transmitted in
real-time to Tapaculo365 or any other web software. The OLED screen installed on the front allows
users to check data as well as the setup values, and the Micro SD card slot allows for storage of
the measured data as well as supports the use of RN400-H2 in WPA2-enterprise settings. F-RAM,
known for high durability, is used for internal memory, which allows data storage up to a maximum
18 days without any connection to the Internet. Moreover, as it comes with various interface
terminals, RN400-H2 can be linked with several devices, including the external sensors, door
sensors, and dry contact.

To use enterprise-level security, a router AP that supports a RADIUS server and provides enterprise service
is required. A RADIUS server is a server that manages the certification and authority level by user within a
company. A router AP with enterprise support usually comes with an embedded RADIUS server. Thus, to
access the RADIUS server, an ID, PASSWORD, and certificate CA.PEM files should be prepared. Save the
‘ca.pem’ file on the micro SD card under ‘/cert/ca.pem’ and insert the micro SD card into the SD card slot of
