B.One Device Manager

3 FUNCTIONS AND MENU STRUCTURE

3.1 Main functions

You can select all the app’s important functions directly from the home screen:

• READ OUT MANAGER: Uploading and managing readout lists .
• START READOUT: Detection of all wireless M-Bus-enabled measuring devices within range. If a readout list is used, only the devices listed therein will be read.
• CONFIGURATION: Initial installation and configuration of measuring devices.
• KEY MANAGER: Storing and managing the radio keys and configuration keys for the devices to be read.

3.2 Navigation

The app’s main menu is accessed via the hamburger menu. ( ☰ ) accessible in the upper left corner. It contains the sections PAIRING , INSTRUCTIONS , PRODUCTS , GENERAL and Settings .

4.1.3 Data export

In the data export settings the following options can be configured:

• File format : Choice between decimal separator “period” or “comma” and separator “comma” or “semicolon”.
• Storage options: Data can be saved automatically (default) or manually. To enable manual saving, automatic export must be disabled.
• Storage location : The destination folder for the export can be selected and adjusted by clicking on “Storage location”. The current storage path is displayed directly below this option.
• Export format: Here you can choose between the options “Multiple lines per counter” or “One line per counter”.

In the pairing area, the connection with the MinoConnect devices can be established. BluetoothRadio , MBWBLUE and K01-Blue 3000 are manufactured. Before pairing, ensure that:

• the device is switched on.
• it is not already connected or paired with another device.

Two connection options are available via the mobile device’s Bluetooth settings:

Connection via the mobile device’s Bluetooth settings:

• Open the Bluetooth settings on your mobile device.
• Search for available devices and select the desired device.
• Perform the pairing process to connect the device to the mobile device.

Connection via the “Pairing” menu within the app:

• In the app, navigate to the PAIRING menu item.
• Select the “SCAN” option
• All available MinoConnect devices will be displayed automatically.
• Select the desired device from the list of detected devices and choose the “Connect” option. The connection will then be established automatically.

The connected device will appear in the PAIRING menu and is ready for further use. To disconnect, select the “Disconnect” option.

5.1 Infrared interface (IR)

To use the infrared (IR) interface, your MinoConnect Bluetooth Radio or K01-Blue 3000 must be connected to the mobile device. The MinoConnect Bluetooth Radio must be equipped with an optical sensor.

If multiple receivers are connected, you can select the desired device for configuration from a drop-down menu in the IR section.

Another drop-down menu allows you to select a device group. This automatically sets the appropriate settings for data retrieval.

The available device groups for MinoConnect are:

• Default (EDC, PDC, NDC, HKVE, T+H)
• EASY PROTECT smoke detector
• Heat meter C5
• NFC via NDC (Enables reading the NFC interface via IR)
• WR3, C2 (readout)

Available device groups for K01-Blue 3000:

• default

With this setting, all ZRI devices with an infrared interface can be read. Please note that for the C5 heat meter, the button on the device must be pressed before reading the data.

   • Make the desired adjustment — depending on the parameter, either by entering it or by selecting it from the drop-down menu.
4. Save Changes:
   • Tap WRITE.
   • Hold the NFC interface of your mobile device against the designated spot on the ZENNER measuring device again.
   • The app automatically detects the connection and begins the configuration.
5. Confirmation:
   • After successful configuration, a confirmation message will appear in the app.
6. Check result:
   • Read the device again to verify the updated settings.
   • You can use the arrow keys to view additional details about each parameter.

5.3 Reading out logger data

The logger function allows you to retrieve and export historical measurement data from a ZENNER device.

Reading out the logger step-by-step:

1. Read device information:
   • Read the device via the infrared interface or the NFC interface (see step 1 in the relevant sections).
2. Find the logger icon:
   • After successful data retrieval, the logger icon (log) appears in the upper right corner of the screen.
3. View logger data:
   • Tap the logger icon to view the saved logger data.
4. Export logger data:
   • Press the Export button.
   • A pop-up window appears with the export options CSV or PDF.
   • Select the desired file format — the logger file will then be saved.

6.2 Adding devices manually

If you want to add devices without CSV import, you can enter the data manually.

Manually adding devices step-by-step:

1. Open KEY MANAGER:

8 measuring devices – START READ

In this section, you start the data retrieval process for ZENNER measuring devices. The first time you open the “START RETRIEVAL” menu, you will be asked once for the desired storage location for the data retrieval. You can specify this directly via the B.One Device Manager:

• Free readout: All devices within the reception range of the MinoConnectRadio or MBWBLUE will be read out.
• Selection list: Only devices from a previously stored selection list will be recorded.
• Manual readout: Devices that are not received can be entered manually.

If multiple devices are paired, you can select the desired receiving device (e.g., MinoConnect) from the additional drop-down menu.

Filter options :

• Serial number:
  • Enter the desired serial number or part of it. Suitable measuring devices will be displayed.
• Medium:
  • Select the desired medium from the drop-down menu.
• Manufacturer:
  • Enter a manufacturer’s abbreviation (e.g. ZRI for ZENNER International) to display suitable measuring instruments.
• Key present/missing:
  • Select either “Available” or “Not available” from the drop-down menu to display measuring devices with or without a stored key.

Actions :

• Apply: Updates the list according to the filter criteria.
• Delete: Resets the filter and returns to the previous view.

8.6 Sorting

The sorting icon in the middle allows you to sort the received measuring devices by serial number, manufacturer, or readout time.

1. In the pop-up window, decide which criterion should be used to sort the list.
2. Confirm with “OK” to update the list accordingly.
3. Pressing “DELETE” resets the sorting and returns you to the previous view.

8.7 Exporting data
