for the first time. If an additional probe is to be connected at a later
stage, the data logger must first be logged out of the Cloud. The

again.
3.3 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
2. The network name of your WIFI (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.
Configuration - Account ID.
3.3.1 Configuration via the Setup assistant
The Setup assistant in the web interface of the Testo Cloud is provided to
assist you when you take your first steps with commissioning the testo 160. It
can help you with logging in WIFI data loggers.
To be able to carry out the configuration, you need to be logged into
the web interface at https://www.museum.saveris.net.
- Click on the symbol above the menu bar.
The Setup assistant launches and assists you with the configuration.
Follow the instructions there.

3.5 Calibration
testo 160 WIFI data loggers come with a factory calibration protocol as
standard. For museums, we recommend having an annual test carried out by
Testo Customer Service. Moreover, there is an option of having ISO certificates
created for the WIFI data loggers. These can be implemented by Testo
Industrial Services (TIS).
4 Technical data
Measurement-specific data
The humidity sensor attains the highest degree of accuracy in
temperatures between + 5 °C and + 60 °C and 20% to 80% RH. If the
instrument is exposed to higher humidity for a long period of time, this
can falsify the readings by up to 3% RH. After 48 hours at 50% RH ±
10 % and +20 °C ± 5 °C, the sensor regenerates by itself.
- The probe must never be exposed to a humidity level of 100 % RH for
longer than 3 days.

Technical data for a secure wireless LAN
The testo 160 WIFI data loggers use the MQTT protocol, which
communicates via port TCP 1883 and 8883.
These UDP port approvals are also required:
• Port 53 (DNS name resolution)
• Port 123 (NTP time synchronisation)
All ports only have to be able to communicate externally to the Cloud.
Static IP is used (select Expert mode for the corresponding
information).
The testo 160 application is accessible via a normal, up-to-date
browser (www). The standard TCP ports http (80) and https (443) are
used.
