3.1. Use
The testo 184 USB transport data loggers are used to save and
read out individual readings and measurement series. They have
been specifically designed for monitoring the transportation of
products subject to cold chain requirements.
Temperature and humidity readings are saved throughout the
entire duration of the measurement program.
Acceleration readings are monitored throughout the duration of the
measurement program and saved when the set limit value is
exceeded.
Data logger programming and measurement report output are
implemented via PDF files, no software needs to be installed.
Product versions T1 and T2 are single-use data loggers with a
time-limited service life.
Configuration and readout of the testo 184 G1 USB
transport data logger are not possible with the testo
Saveris CFR Software and its transport add-ons.

4.4. Important information and glossary of terms
• Single-use data logger (versions T1 and T2): the data logger
has a time-limited service life, which begins from the first time
the program is started.
• Start and stop setting: the criteria for starting and stopping the
program are defined in the configuration file.
One of the criteria must be selected for starting the program.
When selecting the criterion, a time delay can be entered
(program starts x minutes after pressing the key).
Both criteria can also be selected for stopping the program. The
criterion that occurs first stops the program.
• Measuring interval: the measurement interval defines the
intervals at which readings are saved.
16
Page 17
4 Product description
• Time mark: time marks can be set for documentation by
pressing the START key for 3 seconds during the
measurement, e.g. when responsibility is switched to another
institution. A maximum of 10 time marks can be set. Setting a
time mark resets the statistical values Min, Max and MKT.
• Acceleration (shock): the (positive and negative) acceleration
is measured in 3 measurement axes. Only those readings that
exceed the set limit value (maximum value per 1 second) are
stored and displayed.
The acceleration readings of the 3 measurement axes are
displayed separately on the display of the data logger.
The maximum cumulative value (peak) of the 3 measurement
axes is displayed in the PDF report.
• Report time zone: defines the time zone to which all time
specifications in the measurement report refer. Any time zone
changes during the measurement are not taken into account.
If the data logger was in rSt mode and could not be
reconfigured, configuration via a copy of an XML file
may result in the time & time zone not being correct.
• Reset mode (rSt): is triggered by an interruption to the power
supply, e.g. during battery replacement. A reconfiguration of the
data logger is required to resume operation. Data that has
already been recorded will not be affected.
• MKT (mean kinetic temperature): the MKT is a single calculated
temperature. MKT may be considered an isothermal storage
temperature. It simulates the non-isothermal effects of storage
temperature variations.
Calculation:
=
/
+
/
/
+
/
Tmkt = mean kinetic temperature in degrees Kelvin
∆E = activation energy (standard value: 83.144 kJ/mol)
R = universal gas constant (0.0083144 kJ/mol)
T1 = average temperature in degrees Kelvin during the first time
period
Tn = average temperature in degrees Kelvin during the nth time
period
• MKT activation energy: the default activation energy is set at
83.144 kJ/mol, as recommended in USP <1160>. If other
estimates are available as a result of studies that have been
carried out, the activation energy can be customised.
• Individual alarm: an alarm is triggered when the set limit value
is exceeded.
17
Page 18
4 Product description
• Cumulative alarm (only for temperature and humidity
measurement): an alarm is not triggered when the set limit
value is first exceeded, but only once the overall duration,
during which limit values are exceeded, exceeds the set waiting
period (allowed time).
• Wall bracket (delivery includes version G1): for the
acceleration measurement, the data logger must be
permanently connected to the object to be monitored.
Mount the wall bracket using 2 screws or 2 cable ties and then
push the data logger into the wall bracket.

6.1. Changing the batteries
It is not possible to change the batteries for instrument types T1
and T2 (single-use data loggers).
A battery replacement stops any measurement that is
currently running. The saved measurement data and
generated PDF reports, however, remain permanently
stored.
An interruption of the power supply leads to the testo 184
USB transport data logger's time settings being reset. In
order to reinstate the correct time setting, configuration
must be carried out via the PDF file, the Comfort Software
or the testo Saveris 184 config tool.
1. Read out stored data.
2. Place the data logger on its front.
3. Open the battery compartment on the back of the data logger
by turning anti-clockwise. Use a coin for this purpose.

press the start key approx. 5~10 times until the indicator on
the LCD display goes completely blank and no LED is
flashing.
5. Insert new batteries (see technical data for type required) into
the instrument so that the positive terminal is visible.
When changing batteries, only use new, full batteries. If a
partially exhausted battery is inserted, the battery capacity
will not be calculated correctly.
Only change the battery when the battery icon on the LCD
display is empty.
Before and during use, check that the battery LED flashes
red and the battery icon on the LCD display is "full".
6. Place the battery compartment cover on the battery
