InTemp CX1000 Series Temperature Data Logger Instruction Manual

InTemp CX1000 Series Temperature Data Logger

INTRODUCTION

The InTemp CX1002 (single-use) and CX1003 (multi-use) are cellular data loggers that monitor the location and temperature of your critical, sensitive, in-transit shipments in near real-time. The InTemp CX1002 logger is perfect for one-way shipments; the InTemp CX1003 is ideal for return logistics applications where the same logger can be used multiple times. Location, temperature, light, and shock data is transmitted to the InTempConnect cloud platform in near real-time to enable maximum shipment visibility and control. Cellular data usage is included with the cost of the logger so there are no additional fees for a data plan.

View near real-time temperature data in the InTempConnect dashboard, as well as logger shipment details, current temperature, any critical alerts, and a near real-time map that shows the route, the current location of your assets, and data upload points – so you can always check on the status of your shipment and access important data for analysis. Generate on-demand reports in InTempConnect during or after the conclusion of a shipment so you can make informed decisions that help prevent product waste and increase supply chain efficiency. Receive SMS and email notifications for temperature excursions, low battery alarms, and light and shock sensor alerts A 3-Point 17025 accredited calibration certificate, valid for one year from date of purchase, provides assurance that the data can be trusted when making important product- disposition decisions.

Note: The InTemp CX1002 and CX1003 are not compatible with the InTemp mobile app or the CX5000 gateway. You can manage these loggers only with the InTempConnect cloud platform.

Getting Started

InTempConnect is a web-based software that allows you to monitor CX1002/CX1003 loggers and view downloaded data online. Follow these steps to begin using the loggers with InTempConnect.

1. Administrators: Set up an InTempConnect account. Follow all steps if you are a new administrator. If you already have an account and roles assigned, follow steps c and d.
   • If you do not have an InTempConnect account click create account, and follow the prompts to set up an account. You’ll receive an email to activate the account.
   • Log in and add roles for the users you want to add to the account. Select Roles from the System Setup menu. Click Add Role, enter a description, select the privileges for the role and click Save.
   • Select Users from the System Setup menu to add users to your account. Click Add User and enter the email address and first and last name of the user. Select the roles for the user and click Save.
   • New users will receive an email to activate their user accounts.
2. Set up the logger. Using the enclosed USB-C charging cord, plug in the logger and wait for it to be fully charged. We recommend that the logger have at least a 50% charge before you start deploying it.
3. Acclimate the logger. The logger has a 30-minute countdown period after you press the button to begin the shipment. Use this time to acclimate the logger to the environment it will be kept in during the shipment.
4. Create a Shipment. To configure the logger, create a shipment as follows in InTempConnect:
   • Select Shipments from the Logger Controls menu.
   • Click Create Shipment.
   • Select CX1000.
   • Complete the shipment details.
   • Click Save & Configure.
5. Turn on logger recording. Press the Power button for 3 seconds. The Status Indicator glows yellow and a 30-minute countdown timer is displayed on the screen of the logger.
6. Deploy the logger. Deploy the logger to the location where you want to monitor the temperature.

Once logging begins, the logger displays the current temperature reading.

Privileges
The CX1000 series temperature logger has two specific shipping privileges: Create CX1000 Shipment and Edit/Delete CX1000 Shipment. Both are accessible in the System Setup > Roles area of InTempConnect.

Logger Alarms

There are four conditions that can trip an alarm:

• The temperature reading is outside the range specified on the logger profile it was configured with. The LCD displays an X for the temperature violation and the status LED is red.
• The logger battery drops to 20%. The battery icon on the LCD blinks.
• A significant shock event occurs. The broken glass icon is displayed on the LCD.
• A logger is unexpectedly exposed to a light source. A light event occurs.

You can set temperature alarm thresholds in the logger profiles you create in InTempConnect. You cannot disable or modify battery, shock, and light alarms. Visit the InTempConnect dashboard to view details about a tripped alarm. When any of the four alarms occurs, an unscheduled upload occurs regardless of the chosen ping rate. You can receive an email and or text message to alert you of any of the above alarms using the Notifications feature in InTempConnect.

Uploading Data from the Logger

Data is uploaded automatically and continuously over a cellular connection. The frequency is determined by the Ping Interval setting in the InTempConnect Logger Profile.

Using the Dashboard

The Dashboard allows you to search for shipments using a collection of search fields. When you click Search, it filters all shipments by the specified criteria and displays the resulting list at the bottom of the page. With the resulting data, you can see:

• Near-real-time logger location, alarms, and temperature data.
• When you expand the logger table, you can see: how many logger alarms have occurred, including low battery, low temperature, high temperature, shock alarms, and light alarms. If a sensor has been triggered, it is highlighted in red.
• The logger’s last upload date and current temperature is displayed as well.
• A map displaying the different events for the logger.

To view the Dashboard, select Dashboards from the Data & Reporting menu.

Logger Events

The logger records the following events to track logger operation and status. These events are listed in reports downloaded from the logger.
