3) Activation
3.1) Activation process
3.3) Correct positioning
The Berlinger Mini-tag
®
temperature indicator starts the temperature-measuring operation by
breaking off of the START break-off tab or by pressing and holiding the READ button for at least 3
seconds. The desired method of activation is defined upon ordering.
The device is started by the START break-off tab (the tab is
labelled BREAK TO START) being completely broken off.
The successful activation is confirmed by the green LED
indicator (OK) blinking 10 times.
(see Chapter 5: LEDs: Explanation of the “start confirmation” blink
sequences)
Activation option 1:
By breaking the START break-off tab (standard)
The device is started by pressing the READ button (with the
edge of a fingernail) for at least 3 seconds.
The successful activation is confirmed by the green LED
indicator (OK) blinking 10 times.
(see Chapter 5: LEDs: Explanation of the “start confirmation” blink
sequences)
Activation option 2:
By pressing the READ button
Note:
Once the device is activated, the Berlinger Mini-tag
®
immediately monitors the programmed
temperature limits and registers any violation of a temperature limit.
3.2) Start delay (optional)
If a start delay has been configured at the factory, the countdown starts immediately after activation of
the device. The LEDs do not blink during the countdown / start delay. No status queries are possible.
After completion of the countdown / start delay, the green LED blinks on the OK symbol 2 times
(see Chapter 5: LEDs: Explanation of the “start measurement operation after expiry of the start delay” blink
sequence).
The device is immediately in active mode and monitors the temperature.
The activated temperature indicator must be placed immediately and as close as possible to the
monitored products in order to obtain the most accurate temperature data of the goods to be
monitored. This is an important prerequisite for the temperature measurement to be meaningful.
Note:
We recommend that devices without a programmed start delay be preconditioned for 30
minutes prior to activation. Any false measurements on the start of the device can thus be avoided.
