Lascar Electronics has unveiled the latest addition to its EasyLog family of data loggers - the EL-BT-2, its first Bluetooth-enabled temperature and humidity sensor providing users with wireless monitoring via their Android phone or tablet.  Available from Google Play store, the App allows Android users to wirelessly configure the data logger for use, retrieve and view graphed and tabulated data from the device, view alarms as well as email saved data to third parties.  This remote monitoring solution is vital in applications where loggers need to be left in situ at all times, and extremely useful for any other users who would rather not physically handle their data logger during set-up or data download.

The easy-to-use app provides an animated walkthrough, enabling users to set the sample rate, temperature scale, temperature and humidity alarms, Bluetooth power-save settings, LCD settings, and variable start times. Data can then be downloaded from the sensor wirelessly at any time, for viewing on any Android device. Data stored on the Android device’s memory card and app allows users to send readings to another device or Windows PC for further analysis, via email or another cloud service. 

The compact EL-BT-2 data logger can store up to 500,000 temperature and humidity readings, with a measurement range of -20 to +60°C (-4 to +104°F) and 0-100% RH. The unit’s LCD screen details current, minimum and maximum readings alongside a status indicator for a direct indication of the environment it has been exposed to without using the App.  A rechargeable lithium ion battery with a battery life of up to one year powers the device or the unit can be plugged into the mains permanently.

Accurate monitoring and logging of environmental data is absolutely crucial to the role of the modern Facilities Manager, whether monitoring a large-scale cold supply chain, or just simply checking on the general work environment for employees. The EL-BT-2’s wireless function makes environmental monitoring significantly easier, especially for smaller FM teams.

The EL-BT-2 is available to order from Lascar Electronics today for $170, with significant discounts available for higher volume orders. Please contact Lascar’s sales team on +1 (814) 835 0621 or visit the online store at www.easylogbt.com for further information.
