Abstract
The invention relates to a system composed of an apparatus to treat a fluid and a handheld device, wherein the apparatus has a communication unit with a radio antenna and the handheld device has a communication unit with a radio antenna and both communication units can exchange data with each other by means of radio communication, and the apparatus has a control unit, which can detect at least one status parameter of the apparatus and generate a signal which is dependent on the status parameter and can transfer it via the communication unit of the apparatus to the communication unit of the handheld device.
Claims6
A method to operate a system, whereby the system composed of an apparatus to treat a fluid and a handheld device, wherein
- the apparatus has a communication unit with a radio antenna and the handheld device has a communication unit with a radio antenna and both communication units can exchange data with each other by means of radio communication and
- the apparatus has a control unit, which can detect at least one status parameter of the apparatus and generate a signal which is dependent on the status parameter and can transfer it via the communication unit of the apparatus to the communication unit of the handheld device,
- wherein the method comprises the following steps:
- the control unit detects a status parameter of the apparatus and generates a signal dependent on the status parameter and transmits the signal to the communication unit of the handheld device via the communication unit of the apparatus,
- whereby the handheld device after receiving the signal via the radio antenna of the communication unit of the handheld device generates a response signal which it transfers to the communication unit of the apparatus via the communication unit of the handheld device,
- characterized in that depending on the signal exchanged between the communication units of the apparatus and of the handheld device, on a display of the handheld device action recommendations are output as to which positioning interventions can be performed on the apparatus in order to establish or restore a specific operating state, and
- wherein the response signal is transmitted from the communication unit of the apparatus to the control unit of the apparatus and the control unit of the apparatus places a positioning element of the apparatus depending on the response signal.
