LogTag USRID-16W1 Electronic Shipping Indicators
User Instructions
The LogTag® USRID-16W is a single-use electronic shipping indicator, which
monitors and records the temperature of the surrounding environment and shows
any alarm conditions on the built-in display. At the end of a recording trip,
alarm events can be reviewed on the display or downloaded to a PC via the
built-in USB plug.
Inspecting the Indicator
The USRID-16W is shipped pre-configured, but not yet recording
temperatures. Pressing the START/Mark ( ) button briefl y will activate the
display and show READY.
After 30 seconds, the display will turn off again.
Starting the Indicator
To start the Indicator, press and hold the START/Mark button.
Release the button when the symbol changes from fl ashing to permanently on
(aft er approx. 5 seconds), then release the button.
The USRID-16W starts a 60-minute countdown, during which no temperatures are
recorded.
The Indicator should now be attached to the backing card using the double-
sided adhesive foam, and be placed with the goods, so it reaches their
temperature when the recording begins.
When the countdown has completed, the Indicator will start recording
temperatures at 5 minute intervals and monitor alarm conditions.
During Recording
While the USRID-16W is recording, the display shows:
- the last recorded temperature
- so you can identify it is recording
- the elapsed time since the start of the recording in days and hours
- a tick if no alarm events were triggered
- a cross if an alarm event occurred, and one or more alarm arrows ( ) to show at which temperature
While the temperature readings stay within the pre-confi gured limits (these depend on the Indicator Type) the OK symbol is displayed.
If an alarm event is triggered, the Reject symbol is displayed, with an alarm arrow indicating which alarm level was breached.
When the temperature returns to acceptable levels, both the Reject symbol and the alarm arrow remain visible to show that an alarm event occurred during the trip.
Placing a Mark in the Readings
Each time you press the START/Mark button a mark is recorded in the data. This
mark is shown on the PDF and can be used to identify events such as a vaccine
inspection.
Stopping the Indicator
When the shipment has reached its destination, you must retrieve the USRID-16W
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. 5
seconds), then release the button. Holding the button for longer than 6
seconds will cancel this process; instead, the Indicator will continue to
record.
The USRID-16W will also stop automatically aft er 20 days of temperature data
have been recorded. When stopped, the display will show:
- STOPPED to show the Indicator is no longer recording temperature
- the total trip duration during which the Indicator recorded temperatures, in days and hours
- a tick if no alarm events were triggered
- across if an alarm event occurred, and one or more alarm arrows ( ) to show at which temperature Once stopped, no additional readings will be taken or processed, and it is not possible to start the Indicator again.
Reviewing the Data
Once the Indicator has stopped, you can review the trip data on the display.
To show the fi rst review screen, press the STOP/ Review button. It shows the
maximum temperature reached during the trip.
Each subsequent press of the STOP/Review
button shows the next review screen.
The second screen shows the minimum temperature reached during the trip.
Review screens three to fi ve are only shown if alarm events were
triggered.
The third review screen shows the topmost triggered alarm threshold temperature, with the elapsed time when that alarm was triggered. The fourth screen shows the next lower triggered alarm threshold, with the elapsed time when that alarm was triggered.
The fifth review screen shows the lowest triggered alarm threshold, with the
elapsed time when that alarm was triggered.
When the STOP/Review button is pressed while in this screen, the initial review screen is shown. If the START/Mark button is pressed at any time during the review, the normal STOPPED screen is shown. If no button is pressed for 30 seconds, the normal STOPPED screen is shown.
PDF
You can view a PDF of the recorded data by plugging the Indicator into a
USB socket of any PC capable of displaying PDF files. PDF reader software is
required, such as Acrobat Reader or similar. The PDF contains a summary of the
trip, alarm details, a chart, and a list of the recorded temperatures. It is
possible to plug the USRID-16W into a USB socket while it is still recording,
but not recommended. You will be able to view the PDF file, but during this
time the Indicator will not record any temperature data, and will be shown.
Battery
The USRID-16W contains a Lithium Battery. If this symbol ( ) is shown, the
battery is low. An Indicator with a low battery cannot be started but will
have sufficient capacity to complete an already started trip. Dispose or
recycle the battery in accordance with your local regulations. Do not expose
the Indicator to extreme temperatures as it may lead to the destruction of the
battery and may cause injuries. Keep out of reach of children.
Liability
The manufacturer shall not be held liable:
- 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.
Useful Life
The operational life of the USRID-16W is 20 days monitoring and 6 months
accessibility aft er activation subject to following conditions:
- The Indicator was not stored for more than 24 months prior to activation.
- The Indicatorʼs display is not excessively activated (e.g. several times a day).
- The Indicator is stored and operated inside the recommended operating parameters specifi ed by the manufacturer.
Attention : The USRID-16W monitors temperature exposure and not the product quality. Its purpose is to signal if product quality evaluation/testing is required.
