2.1 Using the testo 160
The testo 160 WiFi data logger system is a modern solution for monitoring the
climate and lighting conditions, e.g. in museums, archives, galleries and
libraries.
The system consists of WiFi data loggers, external probes and a Cloud data
storage system. The testo 160 WiFi data loggers reliably record temperature
and humidity, CO2 levels, illuminance and UV radiation at adjustable intervals
and transmit the readings directly to the Testo Cloud via WLAN. Via the web
interface of this Cloud, the data can be analyzed at any time and anywhere,
using an internet-ready smartphone, tablet or PC. The WiFi data loggers are
programmed and reports are generated via this interface. Limit value violations
are immediately reported via e-mail or optionally via SMS.

via USB mains unit), the air quality light stays on permanently.
Temperature and humidity readings are displayed alternately.
If the WiFi data logger is in Single Mode (without external powe

the measurement. Only the temperature is displayed. When switching
to Single Mode, the WiFi data logger does not supply any readings for
at least 10 min. “CAL” is shown on the display until the next
measurement.
2.3 External probes
The external probes S-TH, S-LuxUV and S-Lux extend the range of functions of
the 160 THE WiFi data logger and, in conjunction with the 160 E WiFi data
logger, form an extremely versatile measurement system.
The external probes are only approved in conjunction with the
testo 160 THE and testo 160 E WiFi data loggers.

The testo 160 WiFi data loggers can also be powered via the USB port instead
of being run on batteries. However, the WiFi data loggers do not have a
charging function, i.e. no rechargeable batteries in the WiFi data logger can be
charged up via the USB port. If you connect the WiFi data logger to the USB
port on your PC, the WiFi data logger automatically switches to mass storage
and configuration mode. A PC is therefore not suitable as a voltage source for
logger operation.
4.2 Logging into the Testo Cloud
You need an account for the Testo Cloud. If you have not yet set this
up, please sign up at https://www.museum.saveris.net.
For your new testo 160 WiFi data logger to be able to connect to your account
in the Testo Cloud, it requires the three following pieces of information at
minimum:
1. The ID of your account in the Cloud. You will find this in your account under
the menu item Configuration - Account ID.
2. The network name of your WLAN (SSID), which the WiFi data logger will use
to connect to the internet.
3. The password for this network.
Storage of this information on the WiFi data logger is called “Configuring the
WiFi data logger". Four different options are available for this process.

4.3 Logging WiFi data loggers out of the
Testo Cloud
It may be necessary to log the WiFi data logger out of the Cloud again. A logger
cannot be operated in two different accounts simultaneously, therefore it must
be logged out before switching accounts.
Similarly, any technical changes to the WiFi data logger, e.g. due to adding or
removing external sensors, can only be registered by logging back into the
Cloud.
All WiFi data loggers logged in are displayed.
The WiFi data logger is removed.
The log-out still needs to also be transmitted to the WiFi data logger.
This happens automatically the next time the WiFi data logger
selected, this may take some time. You can instruct the WiFi data
logger to establish a connection with the Cloud right away by briefly
pressing the button. This process is indicated by the green LED
flashing briefly. The WiFi data logger is logged out. After logging out of
the Cloud, press the buttons once briefly so that the WiFi data logger
receives the log-out.

5 FAQ
• Can the WiFi data logger be connected to the PC using any USB cable?
We recommend that you use the USB cable supplied with the WiFi data
logger to guarantee stable data transmission. Longer USB cables are
suitable for the power supply only.
• Can the WiFi data logger also be used in networks with WPA2 Enterprise
encryption?
testo 160 data loggers can be used in networks with the following WPA2
Enterprise encryption methods.
WPA2 Enterprise: EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS-TLS, EAP-TTLS-MSCHAPv2, EAPTTLS-PSK, EAP-PEAP0-TLS, EAP-PEAP0-MSCHAPv2, EAP-PEAP0-PSK,
EAP-PEAP1-TLS, EAP-PEAP1-MSCHAPv2, EAP-PEAP1-PSK, WPA
Personal, WPA2 (AES), WPA (TKIP), WEP
To integrate the loggers into the WPA2 Enterprise network, proceed as
follows:
1. Open the PDF file stored on the logger and generate a corresponding
XML file by selecting the programming options step by step.
2. Copy your company-specific WPA2 Enterprise certificates and the
generated .XML file to the logger's mass storage via USB using drag &
drop.
3. Please note that the configuration of the WiFi data logger will only be fully
transferred once the USB connector has been removed.
The XML configuration file is not being applied by the WiFi data logger,
•
what can I do?
Depending on the operating system, there may be difficulties with the data
transfer if the configuration file name has been changed. Leave the default
file name.
• The humidity sensor has been stored at a high temperature (> 30 °C) and
in very high humidity (> 80% RH) for a long period of time, what can I
do?
The sensor requires a long period of time to regenerate itself again. This
process can be accelerated by storing the sensor in a well-ventilated
location at a high temperature (> 30 °C) and in low humidity (< 20% RH) for
at least 12 hours.
• The WiFi data logger's wireless connection to the access point was
interrupted, what can I do?
1. Press the control key on the WiFi data logger to start searching for a
WLAN connection manually.
2. Change the alignment or position of the WiFi data logger or the access
point (WLAN router).
