InTemp CX600 Dry Ice and CX700 Cryogenic loggers are designed for cold shipment monitoring and have a built-in external probe that can measure temperatures as low as -95°C (-139°F) for the CX600 series or -200°C (-328°F) for the CX700 series. The loggers include a protective sheath to prevent cutting the cable during shipment and a clip for mounting the probe. Designed for wireless communication with a mobile device, these Bluetooth® Low Energy- enabled loggers use the InTemp app, and InTempConnect® web-based software to form the InTemp temperature monitoring solution. Using the InTemp app on your phone or tablet, you can configure the loggers and then download them to share and view logger reports, which include logged data, excursions, and alarm information. Or, you can use InTempConnect to configure and download CX series loggers via the CX5000 Gateway. The InTempVerify™ app is also available to easily download loggers and automatically upload reports to InTempConnect. Once logged data is uploaded to InTempConnect, you can view logger configurations, build custom reports, monitor trip information, and more. Both the CX600 and CX700 series loggers are available in single-use 90-day models (CX602 and CX702) or multiple-use 365-day models (CX603 or CX703).

3. Configure the logger. Note that InTempConnect users require privileges for configuring the logger.

   • Important: CX602 and CX702 loggers cannot be restarted once logging begins. Do not continue with these steps until you are ready to use these loggers.

   • InTempConnect users: Configuring the logger requires privileges. Administrators or those with the required privileges can also set up custom profiles and trip information fields. This should be done before completing these steps. If you plan to use the logger with the InTempVerify app, then you must create a logger profile with InTempVerify enabled. See www.intempconnect.com/help for details. InTemp App only users: The logger includes preset profiles. To set up a custom profile, tap the Settings icon and tap CX600 or CX700 Logger before completing these steps.

   • a. Press the button on the logger to wake it up.

   • b. Tap the Devices icon in the app. Find the logger in the list and tap it to connect to it. If you are working with multiple loggers, press the button again to bring the logger to the top of the list.
     If you are having trouble connecting:

   • Make sure the logger is within range of your mobile device. The range for successful wireless communication is approximately 30.5 m (100 ft) with full line-of-sight.

   • If your device can connect to the logger intermittently or loses its connection, move closer to the logger, within sight if possible.

   • Change the orientation of your phone or tablet to ensure the antenna in your device is pointed toward the logger. Obstacles between the antenna in the device and the logger may result in intermittent connections.

   • If the logger appears in the list, but you cannot connect to it, close the app, power down the mobile device, and then turn it back on. This forces the previous Bluetooth connection to close.

   • c. Once connected, tap Configure. Swipe left and right to select a logger profile. Type a name or label for the logger. Tap Start to load the selected profile to the logger. InTempConnect users: If trip information fields were set up, you will be prompted to enter additional information. Tap Start in the upper right corner when done.

4. Deploy and start the logger.

   • Important: Reminder, CX601 and CX602 loggers cannot be restarted once logging begins. Do not continue with these steps until you are ready to use these loggers.

   • a. Deploy the logger to the location where you will be monitoring the temperature.

   • b. Press the button on the logger when you want logging to begin (or if you chose a custom profile, logging will begin based on the settings in the profile).

   • If the logger was configured with alarm settings, an alarm will trip when the temperature reading is outside the range specified in the logger profile. The logger alarm LED will blink every 4 seconds, an alarm icon appears in the app, and an Alarm Out of Range event is logged. You can review alarm information in the logger report (see Downloading the Logger). InTempConnect users can also receive notifications when an alarm is tripped. See www.intempconnect.com/help for more details on configuring the logger and monitoring alarms.
     Passkey Protection
     The logger is protected by an encrypted passkey automatically generated by the InTemp app for InTempConnect users and optionally available if you are using the InTemp app only. The passkey uses a proprietary encryption algorithm that changes with every connection.
     InTempConnect Users
     Only InTempConnect users belonging to the same InTempConnect account can connect to a logger once it is configured. When an InTempConnect user first configures a logger, it is locked with an encrypted passkey that is automatically generated by the InTemp app. After the logger is configured, only active users associated with that account will be able to connect to it. If a user belongs to a different account, that user will not be able to connect to the logger with the InTemp app, which will display an invalid passkey message. Administrators or users with the required privileges can also view the passkey from the device configuration page in InTempConnect and share them if needed. See
     www.intempconnect.com/help for more details. Note: This does not apply to InTempVerify. if the logger was configured with a logger profile in which InTempVerify was enabled, then anyone can download the logger with the InTempVerify app.
     InTemp App Only Users
     If you are using the InTemp app only (not logging in as an InTempConnect user), 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.
     To set a passkey:

   • Press the button on the logger to wake it up.

   • Tap the Devices icon and connect to the logger.

   • Tap Set Logger Passkey.

   • Type a passkey up to 10 characters.

   • . 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, connect to the logger, tap Set Logger Passkey, and select Reset Passkey to Factory Default.

Downloading the Logger

You can download the logger to a phone or tablet and generate reports that include logged data and alarm information. Reports can be shared immediately upon download or accessed later in the InTemp app.
InTempConnect users: Privileges are required to download, preview, and share reports in the InTemp app. Report data is automatically uploaded to InTempConnect when you download the logger. Log in to InTempConnect to build custom reports
(requires privileges). In addition, InTempConnect users can also download CX loggers automatically on a regular basis using the CX5000 Gateway. Or, if the logger was configured with a logger profile in which InTempVerify was enabled, then anyone can download the logger with the InTempVerify app. For details on the gateway and InTempVerify, see www.intempconnect/help.

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

Deploying the Logger
Use the mounting loop on the logger to secure it to a shipment or other application you are monitoring. You can also remove the backing on the tape that is adhered to the top and bottom of the logger to mount it on a flat surface.
Place the stainless steel probe in the plastic clip included with the logger and clip it to a box or other item.
The external probe cable has a protective sheath. Move the sheath as needed to position it where the cable will be protected during shipments from inadvertent cuts.

Protecting the Logger
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 uses one CR2450 non-replaceable lithium battery. Battery life is not guaranteed past the 1-year logger shelf life. Battery life for the CX603 and CX703 models is 1 year, typical with a logging interval of 1 minute. Expected battery life for the CX603 and CX703 models vary based on the ambient temperature where the logger is deployed and the frequency of connections, downloads, and paging. 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.

WARNING:
Do not cut open, incinerate, heat above 85°C (185°F), or recharge the lithium battery. The battery may explode if the logger is exposed to extreme heat or conditions that could damage or destroy the battery case. Do not dispose of the logger or battery in fire. Do not expose the contents of the battery to water. Dispose of the battery according to local regulations for lithium batteries.
