LCD Symbol
Description
The logger has been started with push button stop
enabled; press and hold the Start/Stop button for
3 seconds to stop the logger.
The battery indicator shows the approximate
battery power remaining.
The logger has been configured to stop logging
when memory fills. The memory bar indicates the
approximate space remaining in the logger to
record data. When first started, all five segments
in the bar are empty. In this example, the logger
memory is almost full (only one segment in the
memory bar is empty).
The logger has been configured to never stop
logging. The logger continues recording data
indefinitely, with newest data overwriting the
oldest data until the batteries die or the logger is
reconfigured. When first launched, all five
segments in the memory bar are empty. In this
example, the memory is full (all five segments are
filled in) and new data is now overwriting the
oldest data. This continues until the logger is
stopped or the battery runs out.
The logger is currently logging.
A sensor reading is above or below the high or low
alarm limit that you configured. Press and release
the Alarm/Stats button until the “alm” symbol
(described below) is displayed on the screen. This
symbol at left clears depending on how visual
alarms are configured in the app. If the visual
alarm is set to clear when the logger is
reconfigured, this symbol remains on the LCD until
the next time new configuration settings are
loaded onto the logger (see
Configuring the
Logger
). Otherwise, it clears when the sensor
reading is back within the alarm limits or by
pressing the Alarm/Stats button for 3 seconds.
A visual alarm is ready to be cleared. This appears
only if the app is configured to maintain the visual
alarm until the alarm button is pressed. Press the
Alarm/Stats button for 3 seconds to clear the
visual alarm. Note that you can silence an audible
alarm by pressing the Start/Stop button or
Alarm/Stats button for 1 second.
Press the Alarm/Stats button for 1 second to cycle
through the statistics configured to display and
then back to the current sensor reading (or to the
alarm value if applicable). The screen displays
these symbols at the bottom and shows the
maximum, minimum, average, and standard
deviation values most recently calculated by the
logger (if you have selected the fixed logging mode
in the app and have selected each statistic; see
Statistics Logging
).
This is the farthest out-of-range sample displayed
during the logger deployment. Press the
Alarm/Stats button to view this reading. Press the
Alarm/Stats button again to cycle through any
statistics (defined above) and ultimately back to
the current sensor reading.
This is an example of a temperature reading.
Temperature units are determined by the settings
in the app. To switch between Celsius and
Fahrenheit, change the units in the app settings
(you must reconfigure the logger for units changes
to take effect).

Description
This is an example of an RH reading.
The logger has been configured to start logging on
a particular date/time. The display counts down in
days, hours, minutes, and seconds until logging
begins. In this example, 5 minutes and 38 seconds
remain until logging begins.
The configured settings are being loaded onto the
logger from the app.
An error occurred while loading the configuration
settings onto the logger from the app. Try
reconfiguring the logger.
The logger has been stopped with the app or
because the memory is full.
Notes:
•
You can disable the LCD screen when logging. Deselect
“Show LCD” when setting up the logger as described in
the next section. When this option is disabled, you can
still temporarily view the LCD screen by pushing the
Start/Stop button for 1 second. The LCD remains on for
10 minutes.
•
The LCD screen refreshes every 15 seconds regardless of
the logging interval selected in the app. If you choose a
logging interval less than 15 seconds, the data is
recorded at the faster interval, but the sensor readings
are updated on the screen only every 15 seconds.
•
When the logger has stopped logging, the LCD screen
remains on and displays “STOP” until the logger is
offloaded to your mobile device (unless the logger is
configured with the “Show LCD” option disabled). Once
the logger has been offloaded, the LCD turns off
automatically after 2 hours. The LCD turns back on the
next time the logger connects with your device through
the app.
•
The LCD screen flashes “HELLO” when you page the
logger from the app (see
Downloading the App and
Connecting to a Logger
).
•
The LCD screen flashes “CHIRP OFF” when an audible
alarm is cleared.
