Product Information
- The BAPI-Stat Quantum Wireless Room Temperature or Temperature/Humidity Sensor is a wireless sensor that measures the room temperature or temperature/humidity and transmits the data via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to a receiver or gateway. It comes with optional temperature setpoint and occupancy override features. The sensor has onboard memory to store readings when communication is interrupted.
- The sensor can be field-adjusted to suit the needs of the installation. All settings can be configured using BAPI’s cloud-based Wireless Asset Monitoring (WAM) or the receiver.
- The sensor can transmit data to either a digital Gateway or a wireless-to-analog Receiver. The receiver supports up to 32 sensors and up to 127 different analog output modules. The gateway receives data from one or more wireless sensors and provides the data to the cloud via MQTT. The gateway also sends a confirmation signal to each sensor upon successful reception of data and supports up to 32 sensors.
- The unit can be powered by battery or wired power. Battery-powered units come with two pre-installed batteries, and wired power units require a power supply of 9 to 30 VDC or 15 to 28 VAC.
Product Usage Instructions
- Before mounting the sensor or the receiver/gateway, it is recommended to pair the sensor with the intended receiver or gateway. Both devices need to be powered on for pairing. Refer to the receiver or gateway installation manual for instructions onpairing the sensor.
- If using battery power, remove the base plate of the unit and pull out the two battery insulator tabs as shown in Fig. 2. Press the Service button, and the Service LED should flash once to confirm power. If the sensor will not be commissioned for more than a couple of days, reinstall both battery insulator tabs to conserve battery life.
- If using wired power, locate the power terminal block near the top center of the unit. Apply 9 to 30 VDC (50 mA max) or 15 to 28VAC (50 mA max) as shown in Fig. 3. Press the Service button, and the Service LED should flash once to confirm power.

The BAPI-Stat “Quantum” Wireless Sensor measures the room temperature or temperature/humidity and transmits the data via Bluetooth Low Energy to a receiver or gateway. It is available with optional temperature setpoint and occupancy override.
Adjustable Settings
BAPI’s wireless devices have several settings that can be can be field adjusted to suit the needs of the installation. All settings are configured by either BAPI’s cloud based Wireless Asset Monitoring (WAM) or the receiver. (See the WAM or receiver instructions documents available on the BAPI website for more information on adjusting the settings.)
- Sample Rate/Interval – The time between when the sensor wakes up and takes a reading. The available values are 10 sec, 30 sec, 1 min, 3 min or 5 min with the gateway, or 30 sec, 1 min, 3 min or 5 min with the receiver.Transmit Rate/Interval – The time between when the sensor transmits the readings to the gateway or receiver.
- The available values are 30 sec, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes, or 1, 6 or 12 hours with the gateway, or 1, 5, 10 or 30 minutes with the receiver.
- Delta Temperature – The change in temperature between sample intervals that will cause the sensor to override the transmit interval and immediately transmit the changed temperature. The available values are 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 °F or °C with the gateway, and 1 or 3 °F or °C with the receiver.
- Delta Humidity – The change humidity between sample intervals that will cause the sensor to override the transmit interval and immediately transmit the changed humidity. The available values are 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 %RH with the gateway, and 3 or 5 %RH with the receiver.
- Temperature Min/Max – The maximum or minumum temperature that will cause the sensor to override the transmit interval and immediately transmit a reading to the gateway. (Only available when using a gateway.)
- Temperature Offset – Adjusts the temperature value being transmitted to match that of a calibrated reference device. The available values are ±0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 °F or °C. (Only available when using a gateway.)
- Humidity Offset – Adjusts the humidity value being transmitted to match that of a calibrated reference device. The available values are ±0.5, 1, 2, 3 or 5 %RH. (Only available when using a gateway.)
Associated Receiver or Gateway
RECEIVER (Wireless-to-Analog)
The wireless receiver from BAPI receives the data from one or more wireless
sensors. The data is then transferred to the analog output modules and
converted to an analog voltage or resistance. The receiver supports up to 32
sensors and up to 127 different analog output modules.
GATEWAY
The wireless gateway receives the data from one or more wireless sensors. The
gateway then provides the data to the cloud via MQTT. The gateway also sends a
confirmation signal to each sensor upon a successful reception of data. The
gateway supports up to 32 sensors.
Please see BAPI’s Wireless Quick Start Guide, or the gateway or receiver
instructions available on the BAPI website (www.bapihvac.com/gateway-quick-
start) to establish
communication between the sensors and the gateway or receiver.
Initial Activation
For convenience, BAPI recommends pairing the sensor to the intended receiver or gateway prior to mounting either device. Both devices need to be powered-on to pair. See the receiver or gateway installation manual for instructions on pairing the sensor.
Battery Power Units
The unit comes with two preinstalled batteries. To activate the unit, remove
the base plate and pull out the two battery insulator tabs as shown in Fig. 2.
Press the Service button and the Service LED should flash once to confirm
power. If the sensor will not be commissioned for more than a couple of days,
BAPI recommends reinstalling both battery insulator tabs to conserve battery
life.
Wire Power Units
Wired power units have a power terminal block near the top center of the unit.
To activate the unit, apply 9 to 30 VDC (50 mA max) or 15 to 28 VAC (50 mA
max) as shown in Fig. 3. Press the Service button and the Service LED should
flash once to confirm power.
Drywall Mounting
- Place the base plate vertically against the wall where you want to mount the sensor and mark the two mounting holes.
- Drill two 3/16” (4.8mm) holes in the center of each marked mounting hole. Insert a drywall anchor into each hole.
- Secure the base to the drywall anchors using the #6 x 1” (25mm) mounting screws provided.
- Attach Cover by latching it to the top of the base, rotating the cover down and snapping it into place. Secure the cover by backing out the lock-down screw using a 1/16” (1.6mm) Allen wrench until it is flush with the bottom of the cover.
Operation
Power the unit as described in “Initial Activation” section. Follow the
gateway or receiver instructions for pairing the unit and changing the
adjustable settings. (The instructions are available on the BAPI website
.)
Wireless Sensor Reset
Sensors remain paired to the gateway or receiver and output modules when power is interrupted or the batteries are removed. To break the bonds between them, the sensors need to be reset. To do this, press and hold the “Service Button” on the sensor for about 30 seconds. During those 30 seconds, the green LED will be off for about 5 seconds, then flash slowly, then begin flashing rapidly. When the rapid flashing stops, the reset is complete. The sensor can now be paired to a new receiver or gateway. To re-pair to the same receiver or gateway, you must reset the receiver or gateway. Output modules that were previously paired to the sensor do not need to be re-paired.
Onboard Memory
Sensor retains up to 16,000 readings should the communication become interrupted. The sensor only stores readings from missed transmissions and only when the sensor is paired to a gateway. Once communication is re- established with the gateway, the stored readings are transmitted and then erased from the sensor. The current reading and nine previous readings are sent at each transmit interval until the sensor is caught up. Temporarily shortening the transmit interval will allow the sensor to more quickly clear any stored readings.
**Battery Replacement
**
- Remove the cover from the base plate by turning in the cover lockdown screw with a 1/16” (1.6mm) Allen wrench until the cover can be removed.
- Remove the used batteries from their holders and discard in an environmentally safe manner. Replace with new batteries in the correct orientation (Fig 6).
- Attach Cover by latching it to the top of the base, rotating the cover down and snapping it into place. Secure the cover by backing out the lock-down screw using a 1/16” (1.6mm) Allen wrench until it is flush with the bottom of the cover.
