Chapter 5 – Logging
DIN EN ISO 11607-2 requires that the sealing process be monitored and documented in order to satisfy
the requirement for compliance with the specifications contained in part 2 of the standard.
As a result, you are able to record the logs of the seal runs and output and archive them on the following
output media:

Log printer MELAprint 42/44

MELAflash CF-Card printer (from version 1.9)

Documentation software MELAview (from version 2.2)/MELAtrace
Log printer as output medium
If you want to employ the log printer MELAprint 42/44 as the output medium, connect it to the sealing
device as follows:
1. Connect the cables of the log printer to the printer connection (RS232 interface) on the back side
of the sealing device.
2. Connect the power supply cable included in the scope of delivery of the log printer in accordance
with the appropriate operating instructions.
The sealing device recognizes the log printer automatically.
The log printer issues a log row for every sealing procedure performed.
MELAflash CF-Card Printer as output medium
The MELAflash CF-Card printer serves for storage of logs on the MELAflash CF card. The readout of the
logs from the CF card to the practice computer is carried out with the MELAflash card reader. A CF card
and the card reader are included in the scope of delivery of the MELAflash CF-Card printer.
MELAflash CF-Card-Printer (from software version 1.9) supports the recording of logs for the MELAseal
Pro rotary sealer.
If you want to employ the MELAflash CF-Card printer as the output medium, connect it to the autoclave as
follows:
1. Connect the cables of the log printer to the printer connection (RS232 interface) on the back side
of the sealing device.
2. Connect the power supply cable included in the scope of delivery of the log printer in accordance
with the appropriate operating instructions.
The sealing device recognizes the MELAflash CF-Card printer automatically. A daily log is saved on the
CF card in the MELAflash CF-Card Printer after the first sealing procedure of the day. Here a log row is
written for every further sealing procedure of the same day.
PLEASE NOTE
To ensure complete documentation, ensure that the CF card is inserted in the MELAflash CF-
Card Printer during every sealing procedure.
Using the computer as an output medium
In order to be able to use a computer as an output medium, the computer must be connected via the
series interface on the rear of the sealing device.
Please use the documentation software MELAview (from version 2.2)/MELAtrace to read out the logs.
How to run and read out logs via the program MELAview/MELAtrac
e is outlined in the internal help
function in the program.
The computer generates daily logs in the same manner as the MELAflash
CF-Card printer; i.e. a daily log
is entered in the computer following the first sealing procedure of the day. Here a log row is written for
every further sealing procedure of the same day.
