Stopping and Receiving a TempTale Ultra Humidity Monitor

There are two ways to stop a TempTale Ultra Humidity monitor:

• Press and hold the Stop button (1 – 3 seconds) until the Stop icon appears in the

upper right corner of the screen.

• Plug the monitor into a USB port on a computer.

NOTE: If the monitor is not stopped manually, the TempTale Ultra Humidity monitor will

continue to record data until it is plugged into a USB port on the computer or until the pro-

grammed trip length is reached.

Accessing TempTale Ultra Humidity Monitor Data Files

• After the monitor is stopped, plug the monitor into a USB port on the computer. The LED

will blink RED while the Adobe® PDF report and TTV data le are being created. When the

RED LED stops blinking and displays solid GREEN, the le generation process is complete.

The les are now accessible. (Windows® 7, 8.1, and 10).

NOTE: Do not disconnect the monitor from the USB port while the RED LED is blinking.

Managing and Viewing TempTale Ultra Humidity Monitor Files

• If the computer has Adobe PDF compatible reader software installed, double-click the PDF

le icon to open and view the PDF le.

• If the computer has Sensitech’s TempTale Manager® Desktop Software installed (8.3 or

higher), double-click the TTV le icon to open and view trip summary statistics and the

time-temperature graph.

• Both the PDF and TTV les can be copied, saved, or emailed as an attachment.

Direct USB Printing of PDF Reports

• To place the monitor in Direct Print mode, press and hold the Start and Stop buttons

simultaneously until the RED LED starts blinking. The monitor is now in Direct Print mode.

NOTE: Direct Print mode times out after approximately 10 seconds. If time out occurs

before the monitor is connected to a USB port, repeat the previous step.

• While the LED is blinking, plug the monitor into the USB port located on the exterior of a

USB-enabled printer, and then print the PDF report.

NOTE: Not all USB printers support USB-direct printing of PDF documents. Consult your

printer’s user manual for support.
