About AUDIT-BUDDY Gen 2 - “WIFI-BUDDY”

What is a WIFI-BUDDY/ AUDIT-BUDDY?

The AUDIT-BUDDY is a portable temperature and humidity monitor that records

real-time and long-term scans of the data center environment. Users can either stream

or directly download data. The wireless streaming version of AUDIT-BUDDY is referred

to as the WIFI-BUDDY.

The WIFI-BUDDY system consists of:

● 3 Temperature and Humidity (TH1) Modules

● 1 Carbon Fiber Rod with a weighted base

● 3 Wi-Fi Adapters

● 1 Router

● WIFI-MATE 2.0 program

How it Works

AUDIT-BUDDY™ 2.0 uses a private router and Wi-Fi adapters to stream real time and

long term trend data to a PC.

What is a WI-FI Module?

A WI-FI Module consists of attaching Purkay Labs’ Wi-Fi adapter to the TH1 Module.

You can remove the wireless connection by disconnecting the Wi-Fi adapter.

Wi-Fi Adapter Security

The Wi-Fi Adapter uses:

● Industry standard 802.11 b/g/n 2.4 GHz WiFi

● Encrypted secure Wi-Fi authentication via WEP, WPA-PSK (TKIP) and (WPA2-

PSK (AES)

● FCC Certified for FCC Part 15B

Stand Placement

IMPORTANT: Let AUDIT-BUDDY system acclimate for at least 10

minutes before starting scan

The Carbon fiber rod base is designed to be placed as close as 1” away from the server

front. Position the Carbon fiber rod as that the TH1 Module fan is pointed closest to the

server intake. Point the fan on the bottom right of the module closest to the point of

interest.

Scan Modes

The AUDIT-BUDDY system has three built-in scan modes: QuickScan,LongScan, and

Delta-T mode.

Best Practices

Always check the TH1 Module + WI-FI adapter battery strength

before scanning as the WI-FI set up consumes a lot of battery. You

can do so during the set-up process in the WIFI-MATE program.

● During the set-up process, confirm battery strength before starting scan.

● DO NOT turn on adapters until you need to

● Turn adapters off after the scan

● For scans above 12 hours, use a fresh set of batteries or use the 100-240 VAC

Power Brick adapter.

Factory Configured WIFI-BUDDY systems

All configurations of the Tablet and the Modules are performed in the factory. No

installation is necessary. Simply assemble the modules per the Quick Start guide and

WIFI-BUDDY User Manual

Scenario 1: The Green LED Light does not Repeatedly Appear

If the Green LED still does not come on after multiple attempts, the factory stored

configuration within the adapter has been lost. Please contact Purkay Labs for

assistance.

WI-FI Adapter Battery

Always check battery strength before scanning as the wi-fi set-up

consumes a lot of battery.

● Check the battery strength on the TH1 Module and adapter before starting scan

● DO NOT turn on adapters until scan has started

● Turn adapters off after the scan

● For scans above 12 hours, use a fresh set of batteries or use the 100-240 VAC

Power Brick adapter.

Wireless Network Connection

Purkay Labs supplies a pre-configured router with all the adapters configured to the

work with the router for a dedicated private network. In this scheme, the WIFI-BUDDY

uses a private, static IP address to connect the adapters to the PC.

What is an IP Address?

An IP address is a unique number assigned to every device on a TCP/IP network. Just

like your physical home address lets people know where to send your birthday card, IP

addresses identify computers and devices and lets them communicate with each other.

About Static IP Configuration

A static IP address is an IP address that was manually configured for a device instead

of one that was assigned by a DHCP server. It's called static because it doesn't change

vs. a dynamic IP address, which does change

Once your device is assigned a static IP address, that number typically stays the same

until the device is decommissioned or your network architecture changes.
