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.

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.

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.

This margin applies to the device external probe.
