Configuration
AKO-59720
The temperature and humidity monitor AKO-59720 has a series of parameters to configure its operation according to requirements, these parameters can be modified through AKONET.cloud, by accessing the device details and by clicking on the "Parameters” tab.
There are two types of parameters:
Changes to the parameters associated with AKONET.cloud have immediate effect, while the parameters associated with the device generate a task that runs in the next transmission (variable depending on configuration). Refer to the device manual to force the transmission.
If, upon altering a parameter, there is a pending task, the change is added to that task, otherwise it generates a new task. The list of tasks and their status can be consulted in the backlog section.
The parameters are organised into 8 groups:
Narrow Band (nb)
Datalogger (dlG)
Probes (InO)
Alarms (Al)
Alarms DI (AlDI)
Alarms S1 (AlS1)
Alarms S2 (AlS3)
Alarms S3 (AlS3)
Narrow band (nb)
transmision frequency: This establishes the device transmission interval, i.e. how often it connects to the network to send data to the cloud. The lower the interval, the greater the battery consumption, therefore the lower its service life.
1 weekly Tx: The device transmits 1 time per week on the day defined in the "Weekly transmission day" parameter
1Tx every hour: The device transmits every hour.
1 Tx per day in defined time slot: The device transmits once during the defined time window.
2 Tx per day in defined time slot: The device transmits twice, evenly distributed, during the defined time window.
3 Tx per day in defined time slot: The device transmits three times, evenly distributed, during the defined time window.
4 Tx per day in defined time slot: The device transmits four times, evenly distributed, during the defined time window.
Week transmision day: In case of choosing "1 Tx week" in the previous parameter, define which day of the week the data will be transmitted.
Tx temporary window start time: If you choose "n Tx per day on ..." in the "transmission frequency" parameter, define at what time the time window for transmissions starts.
Duration of the Tx time window: In case of choosing "n Tx per day on ..." in the "transmission frequency" parameter, define the duration in hours of the transmission window.
Datalogger (dlG)
Interval of the continuous log: Sets the frequency interval with which the device records temperature and humidity data, i.e. how often the device measures and saves temperature and humidity data. The lower the interval, the greater the battery consumption, therefore the lower its service life.
5 minutes: Saves the temperature and humidity data every 5 minutes (minimum battery life).
15 minutes: Saves the temperature and humidity data every 15 minutes.
30 minutes: Saves the temperature and humidity data every 30 minutes.
1 hour: Saves the temperature and humidity data every 60 minutes (maximum battery life). This option does not comply with the EN 12830 standard.
Example:
Transmission Interval to the cloud: 12 hours
Max. external temperature alarm: 15 ºC
Initial transmission time: 8:00 am
Force transmission for max. external temp. alarm: If it is activated.
Datalogger interval frequency: 30 minutes
Alarm evaluation
If the datalogger interval frequency is set at 5 minutes, the devices evaluates whether there are active alarms every 5 minutes.
If the datalogger interval frequency is set at 15 minutes, 30 minutes or 1 hour,the devices evaluates whether there are active alarms every 15 minutes.
DI0 digital input functionality: Activates or disables the DI0 digital input.

External target temperature: Allows setting, along with the External temperature hysteresis parameter, a reference temperature margin considered as optimal or desired according to the application it is intended for. This margin is called the Set Point. This data is necessary for analysing the facility's performance (TTI, THI, time graphs in Set Point, Dashboard, etc.). This margin applies to the device external probe.
Example:
External target temperature: 5 ºC

Severity of alarms
Assigning different severities to different types of alarms allows classifying them according to their importance in order to subsequently be able to quickly identify them in the timeline graph or in the list of alarms.
Assigning severity (low, medium, high) to an alarm is necessary to define user notification rules.
