testo UltraRange Gateway 0572 9310

Overview

The testo UltraRange Gateway 0572 9310 is a certified industrial-grade wireless bridge engineered to integrate testo UltraRange wireless sensor modules—primarily the testo 150 series data loggers—into wired Ethernet-based monitoring infrastructures. Operating on a proprietary, AES-encrypted 868 MHz radio protocol, the gateway enables robust, long-range, low-latency bidirectional communication across complex building environments, including concrete-walled laboratories, cold rooms, cleanrooms, and pharmaceutical production suites where conventional Wi-Fi or Bluetooth signals suffer attenuation or interference. Unlike generic IoT gateways, the 0572 9310 is purpose-built for GxP-regulated environments: it functions as a deterministic node within the testo Saveris Pharma ecosystem, ensuring time-synchronized data acquisition, deterministic packet routing, and audit-ready metadata generation—including precise timestamping, signal strength logging, and connection health diagnostics. Its role is not merely signal translation but system-level orchestration: it aggregates, validates, and forwards validated measurement data—including temperature, humidity, differential pressure, CO₂, and door contact status—to the central Saveris Pharma server for real-time visualization, automated alarm dispatch, and regulatory-compliant reporting.

Key Features

• Dedicated UltraRange protocol support (868 MHz, sub-GHz band) with adaptive frequency hopping and 128-bit AES encryption for secure, interference-resistant transmission
• Simultaneous management of up to 40 testo 150 wireless data loggers with automatic topology discovery and firmware update distribution
• Industrial-grade Ethernet interface (10/100 Mbps, RJ45) compliant with IEEE 802.3 standards; supports static IP, DHCP, and VLAN tagging for enterprise network segmentation
• Built-in diagnostic dashboard accessible via web interface: displays live signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), packet loss rate, last successful handshake timestamps, and per-node battery status
• Designed for continuous 24/7 operation in ambient temperatures ranging from 0 °C to 45 °C and relative humidity up to 80 % RH (non-condensing)
• Firmware upgradable over-the-air (OTA) with version rollback capability and SHA-256 signature verification to ensure integrity and traceability

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The testo UltraRange Gateway 0572 9310 is exclusively compatible with testo UltraRange-certified devices, most notably the testo 150 series of wireless data loggers (e.g., 150-T1, 150-H1, 150-P1). It is not interoperable with third-party sensors or non-UltraRange testo loggers (e.g., testo 174, 176). As an integral component of the testo Saveris Pharma platform, the gateway conforms to critical regulatory frameworks governing pharmaceutical and biotech environmental monitoring: it supports ALCOA+ data integrity principles (Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original, Accurate, Complete, Consistent, Enduring, Available), facilitates 21 CFR Part 11-compliant electronic signatures and audit trails when deployed with Saveris Pharma software, and meets ISO 14644-1 (cleanroom classification), ISO 14644-3 (testing methods), and EU Annex 1 (manufacture of sterile medicinal products) requirements for monitoring system architecture and data reliability. All communication events—including configuration changes, device registration, and alarm triggers—are logged with immutable timestamps and user attribution.

Software & Data Management

The gateway operates transparently within the testo Saveris Pharma application environment. It does not host local data storage or independent analytics; instead, it acts as a secure, low-overhead transport layer that forwards raw, time-stamped sensor readings to the central Saveris Pharma server. This architecture ensures centralized validation, automated calibration certificate association, and seamless integration with electronic batch records (EBRs). Data transmission adheres to TLS 1.2+ encryption between gateway and server. The Saveris Pharma software provides full lifecycle management: defining alarm thresholds (deviation, rate-of-change, duration), assigning escalation paths (SMS/email/SNMP traps), generating IQ/OQ/PQ documentation templates, and exporting PDF/CSV reports compliant with FDA, EMA, and PMDA expectations. Audit trail functionality captures all user-initiated actions—including gateway reconfiguration—with operator ID, timestamp, and pre-/post-change values.

Applications

• Pharmaceutical warehouse and cold chain monitoring (2–8 °C, -20 °C, -70 °C zones) with uninterrupted coverage across multi-floor facilities
• Environmental qualification of stability chambers, incubators, and lyophilizers using synchronized, multi-point measurements
• Real-time mapping of HVAC performance in Grade A/B cleanrooms, including pressure differentials and particle counter correlation
• Automated alerting for excursions during drug product storage, transport staging, and QC sample holding areas
• Supporting Annex 1-compliant continuous monitoring strategies for aseptic processing environments
• Integration into existing BMS or MES systems via OPC UA or RESTful API (via Saveris Pharma middleware)

FAQ

Is the testo UltraRange Gateway 0572 9310 suitable for outdoor deployment?

No. It is rated for indoor use only (IP20 enclosure) and must be installed in climate-controlled technical rooms or server cabinets.
Does the gateway require separate power and communication modules?

Yes. The 0572 9310 unit itself does not include a power supply or external antenna module—both must be ordered separately (e.g., testo 0554 9311 power adapter and 0554 9312 extended-range antenna kit).
Can it connect to non-testo wireless sensors?

No. It only communicates with testo UltraRange-certified devices using the proprietary encrypted protocol; no Zigbee, LoRaWAN, or Bluetooth compatibility is provided.
How is firmware updated and verified?

Firmware updates are delivered through the Saveris Pharma server and applied OTA. Each update package includes a SHA-256 hash for cryptographic verification prior to installation.
What network security protocols does it support?

It supports IEEE 802.1X port-based authentication, VLAN isolation, HTTPS management interface, and TLS 1.2+ for upstream data transmission—fully aligned with NIST SP 800-53 controls for federal systems.
