Notes:
(1)
- memory status is presented in the following format:
- upper row: the
method of recording
(symbol
o
= infinite, no symbol = until the memory is full, chapter 9.2),
amount of occupied
memory [%]
- bottom row:
how long is it enough for

h
= hours,
d
= days,
M
= months, time calculated on the basis of
parameter
Data recording interval
and the amount of available memory, non-archive and additional files
catalogues’ structures reduce the capacity), for an circular (endless) record it is always the maximum value

9.4.1. HANDLING
BLUETOOTH RADIO COMMUNICATION (BLE)
Bluetooth wireless communication (BLE) enables remote reading of the current measured values and the recorder's
battery level with the use of a mobile device (smartphone or tablet) with Android or iOS system and an available
application. This functionality can be useful and convenient when the recorder is placed out of the user's reach (e.g. in a
different room, outside or in a cold room, fridge, warmer or oven), while providing access to measurement data without
disturbing the climatic conditions at the place of assembly, which could happen if the door is opened in order to read the
display indications.
Activation of the (optional) BLE interface requires the
Bluetooth
parameter to be set to
on
value or programming the
F
button
function
with the
Bluetooth turn on/off
value, chapter 9.4. The recorder is visible under the name
Smart
Humigadget and can be connected to any compatible device within the BLE range, without a password.
To save battery, it is recommended to provide good range with a connected mobile device and turn off the module when
Bluetooth communication is not used (
the effect of BLE on battery life is given in chapter 4, note 2).
The free application
Sensirion
MyAmbience
(English version) for mobile devices can be downloaded from Google Play (for
Android) and from the App Store (for iOS). The application is dedicated to devices such as
Smart Gadget
with Sensirion
humidity and temperature sensors. The program allows you to establish connections with several recorders at the same
time (maximum 5, depending on the type of mobile equipment), while the recorder currently connected to one mobile
device is not visible to others (until disconnection). In order to add recorders to the
Smart Gadgets
list, you can use the
Add
new device
option and give your own names (
Gadget name
). For the device selected at the moment, the measurements
are presented in the form of a board (
Dashboard
) or a graph (
Plot
) with additional archiving in the memory of the
smartphone/tablet. The devices of the AR23x.B series do not support the function of setting the recording
interval
(Logging interval
) and synchronization of archived data (
Sync now
) offered by the application. In addition, for AR232.B
humidity (
HUMIDITY
) always takes the value of
0%RH
. For uninterrupted transmission, data update takes place every 5s.
In case of connection problems, check the Bluetooth settings in the devices and/or restart the
MyAmbience
application.
9.5. ALARMS' CONFIGURATION
The recorder allows signalling the
current alarms and alarms stored for relative humidity and sensor's temperature
with
short LED diode flashes and optionally with pulsating sounds, repeated every 1s or 5s. Programmable alarm characteri-
stics are presented in the table below.
Alarms memory
can be useful for detecting exceeding that has occurred in the
past. In addition, it is possible to set the
Insensitivity time
(postponement of alarm checking) after resetting the alarm
memory, which allows stabilization of measurements and prevention of premature alarms after placing the device in the
target place (e.g. in a cold room) or just disable alarms for defined time using buttons. The alarm memory can be reset by
