Device Overview

Device Parts

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

Follow these instructions to register your device, get it connected to the internet, and understand its daily operation.

01

Create Account & Register Device

  • Go to app.maxlinc.com or Scan the QR on the display.
  • Create and verify your account.
  • If using a mobile device, log in and scan the QR code on the device screen again to auto-fill the Serial Number and DUID, or enter them manually.

Why register first?

The system will guide you through step-by-step configuration (recording intervals, sync intervals, alarm thresholds) and ensure the device can successfully connect to the MaxLinc cloud when it comes online.

02

Connect to the Internet

WiFi Connection

  1. Press the SETUP button (right button).
  2. Connect your phone/PC to the "Datalogger" WiFi network.
  3. A setup page will open. (If not, navigate to 8.8.8.8 in your browser).
  4. Choose your 2.4 GHz WiFi network and enter the password.

⚠ Important WiFi Requirements:

  • Device must be registered before setup.
  • WiFi password is case-sensitive.
  • Only supports 2.4 GHz WiFi with pre-shared key (WPA/WPA2). Uses dynamic IP (DHCP only).
  • Cannot connect to networks requiring secondary login pages or captive portals.
03

Connect Probes & Read Display

Port I & Port III (Temperature)

Plug in your external temperature probes here. The device auto-detects probe presence and updates the display accordingly. The device uses high-precision digital temperature sensors.

Port II (Digital Input)

Digital input for dry contact sources (not included), such as a door sensor, flood sensor, or external fridge alarm. Uses a 2-pole terminal to 3.5mm audio jack adapter.

The display dynamically changes based on how many probes are connected:

  • No Probes: Displays internal metrics depending on the device model.
  • One Probe: Displays the connected probe reading prominently.
  • Both Probes: Splits the screen to show both readings simultaneously.
  • The display updates at each recording interval and pauses updates below 0°C (32°F) to preserve screen performance.

NIST Traceable Calibration

Your sensors come with a NIST traceable certificate. The MaxLinc system will automatically notify you by email when the certificate is about to expire, and again when it has expired.

You can also check the calibration status directly on the device screen. It will show a NIST icon, and alert you if the calibration is expired.

Downloading Your CertificateTo download your NIST certificate, you can scan the QR code located on the sensor's tag with your mobile device, or key in the unique ID of the sensor tag into the MaxLinc app to extract it.
Low-Cost RenewalThe certificate is issued to the sensor itself, not the entire device. When it comes time to renew, you do not need to send the device back for recalibration. You can simply purchase and plug in a newly calibrated sensor, keeping your costs low and eliminating downtime.

Buttons, Alarms & Daily Use

Button Functions

  • Left (SYNC): Instantly sends data to the cloud.
  • Middle (°C/°F/SNOOZE): Tap to toggle units. Tap during alarm to snooze buzzer. Hold for advanced metrics.
  • Right (SETUP): Activates WiFi hotspot for configuration.

Alarms & Notifications

  • Delivery: Email (Free), SMS, Phone Call, Audible Beep.
  • Triggers: High/Low limits, Mold risk, Port II contact closure, power loss/restoration.
  • Action: Alarms trigger an immediate sync. Recording interval shortens to 1 minute. Buzzer sounds for 5 seconds.

Status Icons: Top to bottom: Measuring Unit, Recording Interval, BLE/Mute icon, Signal Strength, Connection Type, Battery Level.

Power: Runs on 4 × AA batteries or USB-C 5V. Device automatically switches based on availability.

BLE Support: Both models broadcast BLE for real-time local viewing. A MaxLinc Gateway is required to capture BLE data, but is NOT required for standard logging and alarms (which use WiFi/Cellular).
