2. Product Overview

The Bluefin logger is a portable wireless logger from Senonics. The Bluefin logger can be connected either

via a USB cable to a Windows PC application or wireless using Bluetooth to your iPhone, iPad or iPadMini.

Both Windows PC and iPhone applications offer a simple means of configuring the logger, data extraction

and data viewing features.

Figure 1: Introducing the Senonics Bluefin Logger, PC and iPhone applications

The Bluefin logger can be used for a number of transportation applications including:

sensitive/fragile items

food

animal/livestock

plants

chemicals

medicines or organs

It can also be used in situations where it is simply not convenient to make a cable connection to a

Windows PC. Suppose for example you are storing some vaccines or chemicals in some environmental

chamber and would like to ensure temperature and humidity conditions are kept within acceptable levels

over time. By mounting a Bluefin logger inside the chamber then one can periodically come near to the

chamber, connect to the logger from an iPhone, download the most recent data, email the recorded data

and configure the logger to continue logging. This can happen wirelessly and without opening the

chamber and affecting environmental conditions.

The Bluefin logger operates in an ultra low power mode even when logging temperature and humidity

and can still be connected to wirelessly without any physical touching of the logger. The logger can

operate in this fashion for 6 months from a fully charged battery. The rechargeable battery may be

charged either by connection to USB on a computer or using a mains/USB power cable.

The Bluefin offers accurate and repeatable logging for temperature and relative humidity. Temperature is

measured to an accuracy of +0.3oC over the range +5oC to +60oC. Over the full range -20oC to +60oC

the accuracy is +2.0oC. Relative humidity is measured to an accuracy of +2.0% over 20% to 80%

humidity range and +3.0% over 0% to 100%. Both temperature and relative humidity are logged at a

user configurable logging rate which can be set in the PC application program or iPhone application.

Figure 2: Bluefin Alarm Indicators

When you would like to guarantee that conditions are within particular environmental limits then one can

also set operating ranges above or below which light indicators will be activated so that the user can

become aware that the desired environmental conditions have been exceeded.

Senonics logger products are of high quality having been developed by world class engineering teams

situated in the United States and Denmark. Our engineers are very proud of the Senonics logger range

which is marked by their special design philosophy of ensuring both a feature rich product but simple for

the end user. Our designers have a well-deserved reputation for high quality product design ensuring that

your logging device will both last for years and exceed your logging requirements!

4. Buttons and LED Indicators

The Bluefin logger includes one button located on the side of the logger. It is possible by configuration in

the PC or iPhone application to use this button as a way to start and stop logging. See sections 6.11 and

7.4 of this User Manual regarding configuring for button press start.

Figure 4: Bluefin Logger Start/Stop Button

The logger contains three LED indicators with the following functionality:

Status LED

When the logger starts logging then this LED pulses green once for 1 second.

When logging this LED pulses green for 7 milliseconds and off for 6 seconds.

When the logger stops then this LED pulses red for 1 second then off forever.

Bluetooth Connected LED

This LED is blue when the logger is connected to a mobile device.

Alarm LED

When a temperature or humidity alarm is triggered this LED pulses red for 7 milliseconds and off

for 6 seconds.

When connected to USB cable this LED is red continuously when the logger is still charging and

green when fully charged.

6. USB Operation

The Bluefin logger can be configured, data downloaded and further analysed by connection to a PC or

Windows. Simply download and run the application from the following link:

http://senonics.com/bin/SenonicsPCApplication_Installer.zip

The PC application is a single application that can support all Senonics loggers including Minnow1.0T,

Minnow 1.0TH and Bluefin 1.0TH.
