Introduction
The Bluetooth-enabled Sendum BT100 Smart Probe tracks payload and ambient temperatures and tilt.
Basic System Operation
Prerequisites
- PT300D-4G with firmware version of 0.3.07 or higher to support BT100 Smart Probe connectivity.
- Advanced Sensor Pack model SP300B or Accessory Pack model AP310 (each, from here on, referred to as “pack”.)
Link your Smart Probe
- Connect your PT300D-4G to your pack.
- Within three seconds of each other, press and hold the Status Buttons on both your pack and the BT100 Smart Probe.
- Release the buttons when the pack Network LED and the BT100 Smart Probe LED both blink green.
- If the linking procedure is successful, both the pack Network LED and the BT100 Smart Probe LED will switch to steady green for five seconds. Both devices will subsequently turn their LEDs off.
- Refer to “Press and Hold LED Patterns” on page 1 for a description of device LED responses during this process.
Unlinking
- Unlinking is not currently supported in trial versions.
- Linking to a new BT100 Smart Probe will automatically unlink the previous Smart Probe.
Verify Operation
To verify proper probe operation, generate a Sensor Report and check that the following data is reported:
- Probe temperature
- Probe ID matching the ID printed on the BT100 Smart Probe label
- Ambient temperature
- Tilt

- Remove the coin cell from its socket.
- Place the new coin cell in the socket, making sure to insert it face up.
- Place the Battery Compartment cover back in place and tighten the screw.
Battery Tips
Battery life depends on such factors as the network, signal strength, temperature, configuration, and the accessories you use.
- Never expose batteries to temperatures below -20°C or above 65°C.
- It is normal for batteries to lose capacity over time. If you notice a change in your battery life, it is probably time to purchase a new battery.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may explode.
Before using your device, please read the battery safety information in the “Safety, Care, and Handling” section.
