2. Product Overview
2.1 RFL100 Overview
Vaisala RFL100 Data Logger is a completely wireless, battery powered humidity and
temperate data logger. It is intended as a data collection point in a Vaisala viewLinc Monitoring
System.

Connecting RFL100 to the viewLinc Monitoring System
RFL100 requires a connection to a Vaisala AP10 Access Point. AP10 can connect up to 32
loggers to the viewLinc Monitoring System. In a typical indoor space, install the AP10 within
100 meters of the RFL100. In an open space without many interfering structures, the range
may be significantly higher.
RFL100 is optimized for low power operation. It reads the probe once a minute, and transmits
measurement data to the access point every four minutes. Because the radio link is not
continuous, remote management actions and system joining status may take some time to be
updated on the display of the data logger.
Before you start installing RFL100 Data Loggers, install the viewLinc Enterprise
Server and at least one AP10 Access Point within range of the RFL100. This way
RFL100 can immediately discover your access point and join your system.
For more information on viewLinc Monitoring System installation, see viewLinc
Setup Guide.

2.3 RFL100 Batteries
Main Batteries
RFL100 Data Logger is powered by two AA size primary (non-chargeable) batteries with 1.5 V
nominal voltage. Operation of the data logger always requires that compatible batteries with
sufficient voltage are in place. When replacing batteries, always use new batteries, not partially
discharged ones. Minimum battery voltage for operation is 2.15 V in series.
Compatible battery types are:
• 1.5 V alkaline batteries, designation IEC-LR6, ANSI 15A. Standard choice for most
applications.
• 1.5 V lithium batteries, designation IEC-FR14505 (FR6), ANSI 15-LF. Typically higher
capacity, better in cold temperatures.
CAUTION! Do not use batteries with a nominal voltage higher than 1.5 V.
Use of rechargeable batteries is not recommended. RFL100 will not charge
batteries even if the service port is connected to a power supply.
Clock Battery
RFL100 also has a separate 3 V lithium battery (type CR1/3N button cell) to keep the real-time
clock powered when the device is otherwise turned off. This battery is good for 10 years, and
should only be replaced if the data logger gives the low clock battery error.

RFL100 can show active threshold alarms on its local display. When a threshold alarm is active
on RFL100, the appropriate alarm indicators will be shown on the display. Additionally, the LED
will flash red for high-high and low-low threshold alarms.
11
RFL100 User Guide
M211861EN-A
Threshold alarms cannot be configured locally on the RFL100 itself; they are configured using
viewLinc Enterprise Server software. When applying a threshold alarm template to a Location,
you can choose to show the alarms on the data logger that is linked to the location. To show
the alarms, enable the Send to device setting, and then enable Alarm on Device for each
threshold that you want to generate an alarm on the RFL100.
On the RFL100, only one set of thresholds can be active at a time for one channel. The latest
set that is pushed to the device replaces the previous one. The Send to device setting of any
previously sent threshold alarm is automatically set to No.
RFL100 does not implement the Alarm Delay and Alarm off margin settings of
viewLinc threshold alarms. Local alarm status on RFL100 changes as soon as the
measured values cross the thresholds.
2.5 Service Port
The service port of the data logger provides a local interface for performing service actions
that cannot be done over the air, such as updating the device firmware. The service actions are
based on file transfer using Media Transfer Protocol (MTP), so no special software is needed.
The service port connector is a standard micro-USB connector.
The service port can be used to supply operating power to the data logger. Use a power
supply that fulfills the requirements listed in Table 5 (page 12).

Certifications and approvals
• Certified to IEC 60950-1 or IEC 62368-1
• Approved for use in your country
Batteries with a sufficient voltage (minimum 2.6 V in series) must always be in place inside the
data logger, even when supplying external power through the service port.
CAUTION! When using an external power supply, the main batteries will be
drained very slowly. As alkaline batteries may leak when left in place for a long
time, always use compatible 1.5 V lithium batteries instead of alkaline batteries
when using an external power supply.

Chapter 2 – Product Overview
2.6 Delays in a VaiNet Network
VaiNet protocol and VaiNet devices are designed for power-efficient operation. Some of the
design choices that enable long battery life also create significant delays that the users should
be aware of.
Intermittent Radio Connections
Radio connections between VaiNet access points and data loggers are not continuous. Access
points take turns communicating in a two-minute cycle, and connected data loggers send their
measurement data to their connected access point every four minutes. This introduces various
delays:
• Data loggers that are not currently connected (new devices or ones that have fallen out of
radio contact) have to scan for available access points for a complete cycle before they
can decide what is the optimal access point for them. This means that connection
attempts typically take at least a couple of minutes. Additionally, some joining scenarios
may take multiple attempts. For example, when filling a single access point up to its full
capacity of 32 data loggers, it may take an hour for the last data logger to successfully
connect to the access point.
• Access points request missing data and issue management commands to data loggers
within their communication window. Transferring a full month's worth of measurement
data from 32 data loggers using one access point takes several hours.
Data Logger Scanning Interval
Scanning for available access points consumes power. To prevent repeated scanning from
draining their batteries, RFL100 Data Loggers shut down their radio temporarily if they can
find no access points to join. They will resume scanning after a waiting interval that gets
progressively longer if they keep failing to find an access point. The maximum interval is 8
hours and 30 minutes.
This means that when access points become available after an outage, it may take several
hours for data loggers to discover them. This is why you should always keep your access points
powered up, and why you should start your network installation by installing the viewLinc
Enterprise Server and access points first.
You can manually wake up the radio of an RFL100 Data Logger by pressing its
Refresh button. The button is located next to the service port under the silicone
plug.

4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning RFL100
• Lint-free cloth
• Isopropyl alcohol (70%)
Do not spray anything directly on the RFL100, since that may deposit impurities
on the sensor.
1. Remove the data logger from the mounting bracket.
2. Moisten some lint-free cloth with isopropyl alcohol (70%).
3. Wipe the data logger and the mounting bracket.
4. Check the filter on the probe. If the filter becomes contaminated, it is very likely to affect
the humidity measurement since residue on the filter will retain some moisture. If the filter
is dirty, replace it with a new one. See Changing the Probe Filter (page 23).
5. Insert the data logger back in the mounting bracket.
4.2 Changing the Probe Filter
• New filter for the probe
Filter on the probe should be replaced when it is damaged or dirty. You can change the probe
filter without disconnecting the probe from the data logger.
CAUTION! The sensors are easily damaged when the filter is not in place.
Handle the probe carefully.
1. Turn the filter counter-clockwise to loosen it.
2. Remove the filter from the probe. Be careful not to touch the sensors with the filter.
3. Install a new filter on the probe, and tighten it so it is finger-tight. Make sure the filter sits
straight and meets the thread properly.

4.5 Calibration and Adjustment
If you think the device is not measuring correctly, calibration and adjustment is
not the first thing to do. Check the following first:
• Make sure nothing is interfering with the measurement: heat sources,
temperature differences, or condensation.
• Check that there is no moisture on the probe. If the sensor has become wet,
wait for it to dry.
• Always wait for the measurement to stabilize.
24
Chapter 4 – Maintenance
Calibration means comparing the measurement output of the device to a known
reference, such as a known environment in a calibration chamber or the output of
a reference instrument. Correcting the reading of the device so that it measures
accurately is referred to as adjustment.
Sensors and measurement electronics used by the data logger are fully contained in the
replaceable probe. This allows the probe to be calibrated, adjusted, and replaced as needed.
The calibration frequency depends on the application and your compliance requirements.
Vaisala recommends having the probe calibrated and adjusted once a year by Vaisala
Calibration and Repair Services. See www.vaisala.com/calibration.
Generic procedures for on-site calibration and adjustment are provided in this guide:
• To verify the measurement accuracy of the probe without disconnecting it from the data
logger, compare its readings with a calibrated reference instrument. Doing this at the
installation location of the data logger is referred to as a field check. See .
• To calibrate and adjust the probe using humidity and temperature references, connect the
probe to a Vaisala HM40 Hand-Held Humidity and Temperature Meter. See Calibration and
Adjustment Using HM40 (page 25).

Reference environment for the desired calibration point
RFL100 data logger with the probe to be calibrated
You can calibrate and adjust the probe of your RFL100 data logger in one or two points using
the HM40. For a 2-point calibration, you need two reference environments. For example, LiCl
and NaCl salt chambers provide 11% and 75% relative humidity references. Note that when
performing a 2-point RH calibration, the first point requires a < 50% RH humidity reference,
and the second point must be > 50% RH. The difference between the two humidity references
must be at least 30% RH.
1. Disconnect the probe to be calibrated from the RFL100 Data Logger. See Disconnecting
the Probe (page 24).
2. Connect the probe to the HM40 hand-held meter using the connection cable.
3. Turn on the HM40 and check that the measurements from the probe are displayed on the
screen.
