Performing Logger Checks
If your monitoring application requires that you perform daily
or twice daily checks of the logger, you can use the InTemp app
to connect to the logger and perform a check.
To enable the perform check feature:
1.
Tap the Settings icon.
2.
Under Record Logger Checks, select either Once Daily or
Twice Daily. If you choose Twice Daily, a Perform Morning
Check action will be listed in the Connected screen from
12:01 AM until 12:00 PM and then a Perform Afternoon
Check action will be listed from 12:01 PM to 12:00 AM. If
you choose Once Daily, an action will be listed in the
Connected screen to Perform Daily Check.
Note:
Changes to the Record Logger Checks setting will take
effect the next time the logger is configured.
To perform a check:
1.
Tap the Loggers icon and connect to the logger.
2.
Tap Perform (Morning, Afternoon, or Daily) Check.
Once a check is completed, it is recorded as a logged user
action along with the user email and the location, and is
available for view in a Secure PDF or XLSX report. The action is
also listed as performed in the Connected screen and a
checkmark will illuminate on the logger LCD.
You can also set up a notification to display on your phone or
tablet to remind you to perform a check. Use the Reminders
option under Settings.

morning, or afternoon logger check.
Safe Shutdown
The battery level dropped below 1.85 V; the
logger performs a safe shutdown.
Deploying the Logger
Follow these guidelines for deploying the logger:
•
Use the four magnets on the back of the logger case to
mount it to a magnetic surface.
•
If using the CX402 logger for vaccine storage monitoring,
the logger must remain outside of the refrigerator with
the logger probe and glycol bottle placed inside the
center of the refrigerator.
•
If you remove the probe from the glycol bottle with a
CX402 logger and then reinsert it, make sure you insert it
through the center of the glycol bottle cap and push it
down until the stainless steel probe is completely in the
bottle. The black heat shrink on the probe cable should
be flush with the top of the cap as shown in the following
example.
•
For CX402 loggers, use the included double-sided tape to
affix the bottle holder to a surface if desired.
Protecting the Logger
The logger is designed for indoor use and can be permanently
damaged by corrosion if it gets wet. Protect it from
condensation. If the logger gets wet, remove the battery
immediately and dry the circuit board.
Note:
Static electricity may cause the logger to stop logging.
The logger has been tested to 8 KV, but avoid electrostatic
discharge by grounding yourself to protect the logger. For more
information, search for “static discharge” on onsetcomp.com.
Battery Information
The logger requires two user-replaceable AAA 1.5 V alkaline or
optional lithium batteries for operation at the extreme ends of
the logger operating range. Expected battery life varies based
on the ambient temperature where the logger is deployed, the
frequency of connecting to the phone or tablet and
downloading reports, the duration of audible alarms, and
battery performance. New batteries typically last 1 year with
logging intervals greater than 1 minute. Deployments in
extremely cold or hot temperatures or a logging interval faster
than 1 minute can impact battery life. Estimates are not
guaranteed due to uncertainties in initial battery conditions and
operating environment.
