They record and store operating hours when the engine is in operation. The Smart Connector 2 A also records engine speed and any malfunctions, including time and date display. This information is transmitted via Bluetooth to the STIHL connected App, which is installed on a smartphone or tablet, or to an STIHL connected Box located within range. This machine data is then sent - if desired along with the geolocation of the smartphone, tablet or connected Box - to the STIHL Cloud as central data storage. Via the STIHL connected Portal and the STIHL connected App, the data is then conveniently and clearly available to users for evaluation and use.
