products. You can however, connect as many Cradles as you like if you
wish to configure multiple loggers simultaneously.
CONFIGURATION

Press and hold the START button until the word STARTING is
no longer flashing (approx 5 seconds).

If a delay has been configured, the logger will now display the time
remaining. Once recording, the word RECORDING will be shown on
the display.
1. Provide a ‘Description’ to identify the logger being configured.
2. Select Push button or Time/Date start.
3. Enter the recording interval you wish to use. The duration
of the shipment and/or number of readings to record changes
according to the recording interval entered.
4. (Optional) Enter a start delay before the logger begins recording.
5. Specify the upper temperature alarm threshold.
6. (Optional) Require the upper alarm to trigger after a number of
consecutive or accumulative readings intead of an instant alarm.
7. Specify the lower temperature alarm threshold.
®
8. (Optional) Require the lower alarm to trigger after a number of
consecutive or accumulative readings intead of an instant alarm.
9. Optionally specify a password for next configure or download.
During recording, the display shows the temperature of the last
reading taken, the current time, battery status and a combination of
alarm status and history. A reading is taken and the display updated
every logging interval as configured in LogTag® Analyzer.
When you press the button, the next reading taken by the logger will
be identified in the downloaded data with an inspection mark.

4. DOWNLOAD / RESULTS
1. Open LogTag® Analyzer on the computer you wish to download the
logger on.
2. Ensure an Interface Cradle is connected and insert the LogTag® into
the Cradle.
3. If you have enabled automatic download in Edit > Options >
Automation then LogTag® Analyzer will automatically download
the readings from the Logger and display a temperature chart. To
manually download the readings, Select “LogTag” > “Download”
or alternatively press “F4” on your keyboard and follow on-screen
instructions.
REVIEWING THE RESULTS
The logger will display up to 30 days of max/min/duration and alarm
statistics.
To review the day statistics press the Review button. Each press of the
button will step through the Max and Min temperatures for each day
starting with today and moving backwards through the days (displayed
day will flash).
Following are some examples.
Pressing the Review button displays the
current days’ MAX statistic. The today
segment flashes and DAY 00 is shown to
indicate the ‘Today’ selection.
Pressing the Review button again displays
the days’ MIN statistic.
Pressing the Review button again displays
the next previous days’ MAX statistic. The
MAX statistic in this example is above the
upper limit and the ALARM was triggered
for a duration of 10 hours and 11 minutes.
Pressing the Review button again displays
the days’ MIN statistic.
DISPLAY OVERVIEW
DAY ALARM MARKERS
This grid shows 5 rows of 6 markers, named Today to Day - 29, which are switched
on when an alarm event occured that day.
RECORDING STATE INDICATORS
The recording state indicators show if the logger is currently recording data.
• If the READY symbol is shown, the logger is ready to be started. Depending on
the configuration it may already record pre-start readings.
• If the STARTING symbol is shown, the logger has been configured with a start
delay. The word DELAY is also shown, together with the time in hours and
minutes until the start.
• If the RECORDING symbol is shown, the logger is recording temperatures at
the sample interval defined during configuration with LogTag
• If RECORDING is shown together with the word PAUSED, the product is also
recording, but the recorded values are not taken into account when calculating
alarm events and durations.
• If the word STOPPED is shown, the logger has finished recording temperature
data.
TEMPERATURE
This 4 character, 7- segment display shows the last recorded temperature whilst the
logger is recording. Once the logger has stopped, nothing will be displayed.
ALARM INDICATOR
The ALARM symbol is shown as soon as the logger has registered an alarm event.
If no alarms have been registered, or if an existing alarm has been cleared, the
alarm symbol is not shown.
DAY NUMBER
During Review, this shows the day number of the currently displayed day statistic.
Today is 00 DAY , days in the past are represented between yesterday -01 DAY and
-29 DAY.
®
Analyzer.
During configuration of the logger in LogTag® Analyzer you can also enable this to
show the total number of days on which data were collected while recording.
TIME VALUE AND TIME INDICATORS
The time value display is used to show one of the following:
• a clock with the current time,
• time remaining to start of logging with a delayed start or
• duration, for example of an alarm.
The time indicators identify, which of those is displayed:
• If the word TIME is shown, the time value represents the current time in hours
and minutes (24- hour format).
• If the word DELAY is shown, the time value represents a start delay in hours
and minutes.
• If the word DURATION is shown, the time value represents the length of time
in hours and minutes an alarm threshold was exceeded, for example the time
above the upper alarm threshold.
The word dt st rt appears in place of a time value if the logger is configured for a
date/time start, and the start time has not yet passed.
BATTERY OK/LOW CONDITION
An automatic battery test is performed hourly. The battery low symbol will appear if
the loggers battery is low. If the battery OK symbol is shown, the battery is still OK.
TEMPERATURE UNITS
Depending on the selected display temperature units during configuration, this
shows either °F or °C.
READING TYPE
The word CURRENT is shown when the temperature on the display represents the
last recorded temperature.
The word MAX is shown in Review mode, when the temperature on the display
represents the maximum recorded temperature for the day displayed.
The word MIN is shown in Review mode, when the temperature on the display
represents the minimum recorded temperature for the day displayed.
ALARM THRESHOLD MARKERS
The up-arrow is shown when the temperature displayed (i.e. last recorded) is above
the specified upper temperature threshold.
The down-arrow is shown when the temperature displayed is below the specified
lower temperature threshold.
