LogTag UTRID-16 Single Use Global Sensors

The LogTag® UTRID-16 is a fully conﬁ gurable USB PDF temperature logger, which monitors and records the temperature of the surrounding environment and shows any alarm conditions on the built-in display. Alarm events can be reviewed on the display or downloaded to a PC via the built-in USB plug and analyzed using PDF soft ware such as Acrobat Reader.

Preparing the Logger

The UTRID-16 is shipped to you unconﬁ gured and must be set up with the parameters required for starting and recording temperature values. This is done using LogTag Analyzer soft ware, which you can download for free from https://logtagrecorders.com/soft ware/lta3 (you can also use this soft ware for downloading and analyzing data in case the PDF report doesnʼt contain suﬃ cient detail). Please refer to the separate LogTag Analyzer Quickstart guide for information on how to conﬁ gure and download the logger, and how to analyze the data. Once conﬁ gured, replace the protective cap. The logger is now ready to start.

Starting the Logger

The display must show READY before the logger can be started. To start the logger, press the START/Mark button.If the logger was conﬁgured with a start delay, you will now see the DELAY symbol. The UTRID-16 starts a countdown timer, during which no temperatures are recorded. When the countdown has been completed, the logger will start recording temperatures at the conﬁ gured intervals and monitor alarm conditions.

If no start delay was conﬁ gured, the logger will immediately start recording.The logger should now be placed with the goods, so it reaches their temperature when the recording begins.

During Recording

While the UTRID-16 is recording, the display shows:

The last recorded temperature
so you can identify it is recording
The current time in hours and minutes
A tick if no alarm events were triggered
The alarm indicator if an alarm event occurred, and one of the limit markers ( or ) so you can see if an upper or lower alarm was triggered.
One or more threshold arrows ( or ) to show if the current temperature is above or below any of the alarm thresholds

Example Screens
While the temperature readings stay within the pre-conﬁ gured limits, the OK symbol is displayed, as shown in the image above.If the most recently recorded temperature is above or below one of the alarm thresholds, a threshold arrow will be shown on the display. If the temperature continues to be outside the limits for the time set during conﬁ guration, an alarm event is triggered.

Once an alarm event is triggered, the Reject When the temperature returns to acceptable levels, the Reject symbol and the limit marker remain shown to indicate a previous alarm event, while the threshold arrows turn oﬀ .

Placing a Mark in the Readings

Each time you press the START/Mark button a mark is recorded in the data. This is shown on the PDF and in the data ﬁ le and can be used to identify events such as a vaccine inspection. The MARK symbol is shown on the display until the next reading is recorded.

Clearing and Alarm
You can clear an active alarm by pressing and holding the START/Mark button until the cross changes to a tick, and the limit markers turn oﬀ . MARK is shown, and an inspection mark is recorded in the data. The option to clear an active Alarm is set during conﬁ guration.

Paused Function
Pressing either button excludes the next X readings from the alarm and statistics calculations; during this time PAUSED will be shown. X can be between 0 (feature disabled) and 15, and is set during conﬁ guration. This allows you to review the statistics or clear an alarm without causing an invalid reading, alarm or statistic.

Stopping the Logger
When the shipment has reached its destination, you must retrieve the UTRID-16 from the package and immediately stop it, so the device does not generate false alarms. To do this, press and hold the

STOP/Review
button until the STOPPED symbol changes from ﬂ ashing to permanently on (aft er approx. 4 seconds), then release the button. Holding the button for longer than 6 seconds will abort this process and the logger will continue to record.The UTRID-16 will also stop automatically if you have conﬁ gured a ﬁ xed recording length. When stopped, the display will show:

STOPPED to show the Logger is no longer recording temperature
The current time in hours and minutes
The alarm indicator if an alarm event occurred, and one of the limit markers ( or ) so you can see if an upper or lower alarm was triggered.Once stopped, no additional readings will be taken or processed.

Reviewing the Data

You can review the trip data on the display, either during logging, or aft er the recorder has stopped.
To show the ﬁ rst review screen, press the STOP/Review button. It shows the maximum temperature reached during the trip.
Pressing STOP/Review again shows the minimum temperature reached during the trip.
Each subsequent press of the STOP/Review button shows up to 6 additional review screens, depending on the number of alarm trigger conditions set during conﬁ duration.

These screens show each conﬁ gured alarm threshold temperature, and the time recorded during the trip above this temperature, in descending order.You can disable reviewing the alarm thresholds during conﬁ guration of the logger.When the last review screen is shown, pressing STOP/Review shows the initial review screen again.If the START/Mark button is pressed at any time during the review, or neither button is pressed for 30 seconds, the or STOPPED screen is shown.

PDF
You can view a PDF of the recorded data by plugging the logger into a USB socket of any PC capable of displaying PDF ﬁ les. PDF reader soft ware is required, such as Acrobat Reader or similar. At this stage, make sure no other LogTag Soft ware is running on your PC.The PDF contains a summary of the trip, alarm details, a chart and a list of the recorded temperatures. Which details are shown on the PDF is set during conﬁ guration.It is possible to plug the UTRID-16 into a USB socket while it is still recording, but not recommended. You will be able to view the PDF ﬁ le, but during this time the Logger will not record any temperature data, andwill be shown on the display.

Getting more information
For more information, please read the complete UTRID-16 Product User Guide, available fromhttps://logtagrecorders.com/product/utrid-16/ This guide contains additional content such as:Attention: The UTRID-16 monitors temperature exposure and not the product quality. Its purpose is to signal if product quality evaluation/testing is required.

Battery
The UTRID-16 contains a Lithium Battery. If this symbol ( ) is shown, the battery is low. A logger with a low battery cannot be started but will have suﬃ cient capacity to complete an already started trip.Dispose or recycle the battery/logger in accordance with your local regulations.Do not expose the logger to extreme temperatures as it may lead to the destruction of the battery and may cause injuries. Keep out of reach of children.

if the device was used beyond the manufacturerʼs given limitations;
for any claims due to the improper storage and use of the device;
for any problems with refrigeration units;
for the bad quality of the monitored goods, if any;
for incorrect readings if the device was used with an activated low battery sign; or for consequential loss.

The logger was not stored for more than 24 months prior to activation.
The loggerʼs display is not excessively activated (for example, reviewing alarms several times a day).
The logger is stored and operated inside the recommended operating parameters speciﬁ ed by the manufacturer.
