Introduction

LogTag’s USRIC-8 is a fully congurable, single-use USB
temperature recorder that can create temperature reports without the
need to install proprietary software or hardware at the destination.
e product can be ordered with pre-set proles ready to start, or
congured using LogTag Analyzer, and is then placed with the goods
to be monitored. At the destination the USRIC-8 can be plugged
straight into a computer’s USB port and generates a PDF le, which
can be accessed using PDF software such as Acrobat Reader.

Checklist - Required Equipment

• LogTag® USRIC-8 USBPDF temperature recorder.
It is recommended that you connect all USRIC-8 devices via a
permanently plugged in USB extension cable to protect your
computer’s USB socket.

• A computer running Windows XP, Mac OSX or Linux.

• For conguration - a PC running Windows XP SP3 or later.

Software Requirements

Software requirements vary depending on the type of le you want
the USRIC-8 to generate when plugged into USB at the destination.

• If you wish to congure USRIC-8 products you will need to
download the LogTag® Analyzer software from LogTag’s web site at

http://www.logtagrecorders.com/software.php. Follow the

instruction to install and start the software.

• If you only plan on evaluating data, plug the USRIC-8 into a
computer‘s USB socket. A PDF le will be generated1, which you
can open from the recorder‘s USB memory storage with Acrobat
Reader 4.0 or later, or any other compatible PDF reader software
of your choice.

• At the same time an LTD le will be created1 that can be opened
with LogTag Analyzer. Here you can not only analyse data in
detail and generate report les, but also create charts from multiple
recorders for comparison.

• You can also download data directly into LogTag Analyzer
without accessing the recorder‘s USB memory storage.

Configuring the USRIC-8

USRIC-8 recorder can be ordered pre-congured, ready to start.
Dierent proles are available; if none of these suit or the USRIC-8
needs dierent conguration settings to those already installed, the
unit can be congured using LogTag Analyzer.

• Start the LogTag Analyzer software.

• Remove the protective cap and insert the USRIC-8 into a USB
port. You will receive a message that a new USB device has been
found2, and a generic driver will be installed.

• Once the driver is installed and the USRIC-8 is ready (indicated
by the green OK LED blinking), it can receive conguration data.
Click LogTag - Congure; LogTag Analyzer will scan all ports
and display the conguration options for connected USRIC-8‘s.
Although you can congure many devices at the same time, it
is practical to limit the number of devices to about 10, using a
powered USB hub.

1 Depending on the conguration, the USRIC-8 may produce any of the supported le types *.ltd,

*.csv or *.pdf, or none at all if le generation is disabled when conguring the unit.

2 Depending on the factory conguration additional drivers may be installed at this time.

Standard Configuration Options

ese standard conguration options are very similar to those of
standard LogTag® recorder products and include settings such as

User ID, start method, pre-start recording, logging interval and
duration, start delay, temperature alert parameters and password.

Figure 1 - USRIC-8 basic conguration screen

For detailed information about each parameter please read the
section about Conguring a LogTag® for logging in LogTag
Analyzer’s User Guide or press F1 for help.

Advanced Configuration Options

Select Advanced Options for additional
conguration options.

ese options decide which les -if any- are generated at the end of
the trip, whether or not the recorder can be stopped using the STOP
button and also determine the appearance of the PDF le.

Figure 2 - USRIC-8 advanced conguration screen

Parameters that inuence the appearance of the PDF le are

• creation of the data list

• setting of the temperature unit, date and time format

• Time zone and MKT

• setting scaling parameters for the chart

Enter the desired options and click Close to accept the new values.
is returns you to the standard conguration dialogue.

Finalising the configuration

• Click Next to upload the conguration data to the USRIC-8.

• When the conguration is complete, unplug the USRIC-8 from
the USB socket and replace the protective cap.

If you wish to congure more USRIC-8 units with the same
conguration, insert the next recorder into the USB socket, wait
until it is ready for conguration and click Again. Alternatively you
can use the Prole function to congure multiple units with the
same settings.

You can upload the conguration to a USRIC-8 recorder as often as
required, however once started the unit cannot be congured again.

Starting the USRIC-8

During conguration you can decide when the USRIC-8 recorder
should start taking temperature readings.

• ... via Push button start
e recorder will start taking temperature readings immediately
when you press the START/Mark button, or after the time
period you have specied in the Begin recording after a delay of
eld.

• ... via Push button start with pre-start logging enabled
When you choose to record pre-start readings, the USRIC-8
starts recording as soon as it is unplugged from the USB port3. It
will continue to record pre-start readings until you start the unit
by pressing the START/Mark button. is way you do not lose
readings even if you forget to start the unit. Note, however, that no
alarms are processed while pre-start readings are being taken.
Pre-start readings will not appear in the PDF le, and if only
pre-start readings were recorded, no PDF le will be generated.
In this case you will need to download the readings using LogTag
Analyzer.

• ... via Date/Time start
When this option is selected the recorder will start taking
temperature readings at the date and time you specify (local time).
You cannot combine a date/time start with pre-start readings or
the start delay function.
If you congure the USRIC-8 for a time start, but you leave it
plugged into the USB port until after the congured time has
passed, the unit will start as soon as it is unplugged.

While recording...

While the USRIC-8 is recording the green OK LED blinks every 4
seconds if none of the congured alarm conditions have been met.

4

Alerts

As soon as one of the alarm conditions is met, the red alert LED
blinks every 4 seconds.

Depending on the alarm conguration the red LED may remain on
for the rest of the trip, or the green OK LED may blink again once
conditions return back inside the limits.

If congured, you can reset an alert by pressing the START/Mark
button. Alerts which are a result of accumulative alarms cannot be
cleared.

3 e rst pre-start reading is taken one log interval after you unplug the unit from the USB port.
4 e blinking of the green OK LED can be disabled during conguration of the unit.

Marking a reading with an inspection mark

When you press the START/Mark button, the next reading taken
by the USRIC-8 will be identied in the downloaded data with
an inspection mark. If the Allow stopping with the Stop button
feature is congured, a mark will also be registered when you press
the STOP button, but do not complete the process of stopping the
recorder.

When does the USRIC-8 stop recording?

Automatically

e USRIC-8 stops recording temperature when the maximum
number of readings specied during conguration has been reached.

Your unit may also stop when inserted into a USB socket. is is a
factory set option which cannot be changed during conguration
of the unit with LogTag Analyzer. Your distributor can supply more
information about this option.

Manually

You can set up a USRIC-8 so it can be stopped with the STOP
button. is feature is useful when you take the recorder out of a
shipment and don’t want to falsify the statistics with readings taken
after the shipment completion. You can enable stopping in the

Advanced Options dialogue during conguration. When enabled,

following sequence will stop the unit:

• Press and hold the STOP button. For the next 4 seconds both

LED’s will blink simultaneously.

• When the LED’s start blinking more rapidly release the button.
e recorder will now stop taking readings and cannot be re­started.

• If you change your mind half way during the process, simply keep
holding the button until all LEDs have stopped blinking. Instead
of stopping, an inspection mark will be recorded against the next
temperature reading taken.

Plugging the USRIC-8 into a USB port

What happens when you plug the USRIC-8 into a USB port
depends on the Operating System of the computer, the settings
made during conguration and whether or not LogTag Analyzer is
running.

• If you have congured the USRIC-8 to Generate les, PDF, CSV
or LTD les will be created every time you plug the recorder into
the USB port. is will be indicated by the green OK LED being
permanently on.
Once nished, the green OK LED will blink every second, twice
in quick succession, to indicate these les can now be accessed.

• If you have disabled le generation, the USRIC-8‘s green OK
LED will blink once every second.

As part of the process up to four drivers will be installed. ese
drivers are part of the Operating System and will typically not
require administrator privileges for your computer.

1. Mass Storage Device

2. LogTag Mass Storage USB Device
ese two devices are required so you can access the data les in
the same way as a USB memory stick. ese drivers will not be
installed if the USRIC-8 is congured not to generate les. not

3. USB Input Device (HID)
is device is used for communication to LogTag Analyzer and
its driver will always be installed, even if LogTag Analyzer is not
present on the PC.

4. USB Composite Device

Which of these drivers will be installed depends on the USRIC-8’s
conguration.

While a USRIC-8 is plugged into USB, no temperature readings
are taken. e graph will display a gap and the data list will indicate
“paused”. is also applies when the recorder is connected to a USB
power supply.

Accessing the files

If les are generated, a new storage device or mounted device will
appear. e device name will be created from the serial number of
the USRIC-8. You can access the les by browsing to the newly
created drive and double-clicking the PDF, CSV or LTD les. For
PDF les you need Adobe Acrobat Reader or a similar PDF viewer.
To open the LTD le you need to install the free LogTag Analyzer
software. CSV les can be opened with a text editor, or imported
into a spreadsheet program such as MS ExcelTM.

e le names contain information about the recorded data, which is
detailed in the section about “Interpreting the data” on page 8.

If a device only has pre-start readings, PDF and CSV les will not be
created.

e les created by the USRIC-8 are not automatically copied to a
permanent storage volume on your computer. If you wish to retain
the les you need to manually copy them to a location such as your

Documents folder.

Unplugging

You can unplug a USRIC-8 at any time; there is no need to stop the
device via the shortcut menu in the notication area on the taskbar.

If you plug a unit into a USB port during a start delay, the delay
period will re-start when the unit is unplugged. You will see the
start and delay signals indicated by the LED’s. e delay will also be
restarted if you press the START/Mark button during the delay
period.

You may see the start signal if you have congured a time start, but
have left the unit plugged in beyond the start time of the USRIC-8.

Tips and Tricks

Configuration

When conguring a USRIC-8, allow enough time for the readings
to stabilise if you have an upper alert congured. is can be best
achieved with a start delay, or a date/time start if you know when the
shipment takes place.

Make sure you remove your USRIC-8 from the USB socket when
you have congured a time start, so it starts at the time you want,
rather than when unplugged from the port.

During the trip

Always replace the USB protective cap before placing the USRIC-8
with the goods for recording. While recording, place the USRIC-8
so the protective cap is facing down. e protection rating can only
be achieved when used in this orientation. For applications requiring
a higher IP rating the unit should be used in the protective case,
available as an accessory.

Data evaluation

Although the les generated by the USRIC-8 are not automatically
copied, the data on the unit is retained, so each time you plug it
back into the computer the les are re-generated, albeit with a new
le name. Once the battery is exhausted, the data can no longer be
accessed.

USRIC-8 Factory Presets

LogTag® USRIC-8 recorders can be client congured using LogTag Analyzer. For an out-of-box solution they can also be ordered in
volume, pre-congured with a factory prole ready for starting.

If a default conguration does not suit, customers can compile their own prole by specifying the parameters in the table below when
ordering. Please note that minimum order quantities apply for USRIC-8 recorders with proles not stocked by LogTag®.
