On button push. The logger will begin logging when you
press the Start button on the logger.
6.
Enable the High Alarm and Low Alarm if desired. Enter an
alarm limit for each. For a high alarm, an alarm will trip if
the sensor reading rises above the value you enter in the
High Alarm field. For a low alarm, an alarm will trip if the
sensor reading falls below the value you enter in the Low
Alarm field.
7.
If you set up an alarm, enable “Audible Alarm on Trip” if you
want the logger to beep when a high or low alarm trips.
8.
If you set up an alarm, tap “Trip alarm after” and select how
many minutes should pass before the alarm trips. If you
want an alarm to trip immediately on the first reading
outside the limits, set “Trip alarm after” to zero.
Tap either Cumulative or Consecutive. If you select
Cumulative, the alarm will trip when the time the sensor is
out of range over the course of the deployment is equal to
the selected duration. If you select Consecutive, the alarm
will trip when the time the sensor is continuously out of
range is equal to the selected duration. For example, if you
select Cumulative and the high alarm is set to 45°F with a
“Trip alarm after” time of 30 minutes, then an alarm will
trip once the sensor reading has been at or above 45°F for a
total of 30 minutes since logging started. This could be 15
minutes above 45°F in the morning and then 15 minutes
above 45°F again in the afternoon. If Consecutive was
selected instead, then the alarm would only trip if all sensor
readings were at or above 45°F for a continuous 30-minute
period.
Tap Save in the Alarm Trip Settings screen.
9.
Tap Save in the Create Configuration screen when done
selecting all settings. The new custom configuration is
added to the list of enabled configurations and will be
available to select when you connect to the logger to
configure it.
Logger Alarms
There are two conditions that will trip an alarm:
•
When the temperature reading by the external probe (if
applicable) or the ambient temperature is outside the
range specified in the logger configuration.
•
When an external probe (if applicable) is disconnected
during logging.
When a temperature alarm trips:
•
The logger LED will blink every 5 seconds.
•
The alarm icon will appear on the LCD and in the app.
•
The logger will beep every 15 seconds (unless audible
alarms are disabled in the logger configuration).
•
An Alarm Tripped event is logged.
When an external probe is removed:
•
The logger LED will blink every 5 seconds.
•
“ERROR” and “PROBE” will appear on the LCD and
“ERROR” will appear in the app.
•
An alarm icon will appear in the app.
•
The logger will beep every 15 seconds.
•
A Probe Disconnected event is logged.
To mute a beeping alarm, press the Mute button on the logger.
Once muted, you cannot turn the beeping back on.
Download the logger to view details about a tripped alarm and
to clear alarm indicators in the app and on the LCD (the probe
must be reconnected for ERROR to clear on the LCD). For a
temperature alarm, the tripped alarm will clear once the
reading is back within limits.
Setting a Passkey
You can create an encrypted passkey for the logger that will be
required if another phone or tablet attempts to connect to it.
This is recommended to ensure that a deployed logger is not
mistakenly stopped or purposely altered by others. This
passkey uses a proprietary encryption algorithm that changes
with every connection.
To set a passkey:
1.
Tap the Loggers icon and connect to the logger.
2.
Tap Set Logger Passkey.
3.
Type a passkey up to 10 characters.
4.
Tap Save.
5.
Tap Disconnect.
Only the phone or tablet used to set the passkey can then
connect to the logger without entering a passkey; all other
mobile devices will be required to enter the passkey. For
example, if you set the passkey for the logger with your tablet
and then try to connect to the device later with your phone,
you will be required to enter the passkey on the phone but not
with your tablet. Similarly, if others attempt to connect to the
logger with different devices, then they would also be required
to enter the passkey. To reset a passkey, simultaneously press
both the top and bottom button on the logger for 3 seconds, or
connect to the logger, tap Set Logger Passkey, and select Reset
to Factory Default.
Downloading the Logger and
Generating Reports
You can download the logger and generate reports that include
logged probe (if applicable) and ambient readings, events, user
activity, alarm information, and more. Reports can be shared
immediately upon download or accessed later.
To download the logger:
1.
Tap the Loggers icon and connect to the logger.
2.
Tap Download.
3.
Choose a download option:
•
Download & Continue. The logger will continue logging
once the download is complete.
•
Download & Restart. The logger will start a new
deployment using the same configuration once the
download is complete.
•
Download & Stop. The logger will stop logging once the
download is complete.
