USER MANUAL
OVERVIEW
AUDIT-BUDDY is a portable temperature and humidity monitor that records real-time and long-term scans of the data center environment. AUDIT-BUDDY consists of three temperature and
humidity (TH1) Modules, three Wi-Fi adapters, and 1 carbon ber
rod with a weighted base. This as a temporary use application that does not require any installation or permanent set-up. Use to quickly pinpoint and diagnose hot spots or cooling issues.
With AUDIT-BUDDY, users can:
- Spot check without touching the server
- Monitor without any permanent installation or integration
- Identify hot spots or cold spots
- Get rack-level data
- Baseline the environment
- Calculate cooling eciency
- Conrm CFD
- Validate SLA
AUDIT-BUDDY Generation 2, also known as “WIFI-BUDDY,” streams data directly to the PC or Tablet. Users control the WIFI-BUDDY set-up and data collection using a Purkay Labs’ program called WIFI-MATE.

USER MANUAL
CONCEPT
WIFI-BUDDY uses a separate router that creates a private, temporary, static* IP network to connect the Wi-Fi enabled TH1 Module (WIFI Module) to the PC and stream the data.
* The default communication is via static IP. Users who wish to communicate via
their facility network should follow the dynamic IP conguration.

USER MANUAL
ADAPTER COMMUNICATION
WIFI-BUDDY can communicate via a static IP conguration or dynamic IP conguration.
Static IP Conguration (Recommended)
Purkay Labs strongly recommends using a static IP conguration to create a tempo­rary, private network to stream data. This conguration does not connect to the Inter-
net or the facility Wi-Fi. All Purkay Labs hardware and software, including the Surface,
are shipped, pre-congured, to a static IP conguration. Users must change their PC
or Tablet IP settings.
Dynamic IP Conguration (Advanced)
Users who wish to connect to the Purkay Labs’ router or Facility Wi-Fi network via a
dynamic IP conguration, should follow the special instructions for “Dynamic IP con­guration.” Please note that using the dynamic IP congurations may require re-con­guring the WIFI-Modules every time you begin a scan.
Please see chapter 3- IP Conguration- for more on setting up your WIFI-BUDDY conguration.

BEST PRACTICES
Always check battery strength be-
fore scanning as the wi- 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 o after the scan
• For scans above 12 hours, use a fresh set of batteries or use the 100-240 VAC
Power Brick adapter.
