PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The McKesson refrigerator/freezer thermometer data logger (also referred to as SmartLOG in this document) is a Wi-Fi digital data logger (DDL) that monitors and records temperature and sensor battery status for up to two wireless sensors. It also logs the ambient room temperature/humidity and backup battery voltage.
The DDL scans for the wireless sensor in 1 minute intervals retrieving temperature, battery and signal data. This data is evaluated for temperature excursions, low battery condition or no data which indicates signal loss from the wireless sensor. If any of these conditions are true, the logger will send alerts via email and text message to contacts listed in the settings page of the dashboard. If there is a temperature excursion, alarm LED and buzzer will sound. Logger then refreshes the main DDL display screen and dashboard with all updated values. The SmartLOG dashboard can be viewed using a web browser on a PC or smart phone. Monitor all DDL conditions, generate PDF reports, and modify settings. using Dashboard (SmartLOG and PC or smart phone must be connected to same local network).
NOTE: If main power is lost, battery backup is provided by the 3 x AA batteries allow logging to continue for ~ 3 days (depending on alerts) After approximately 4 hours the DDL will turn off the display and Wi-Fi radio to conserve power allowing logging to continue until main power resumes. Tapping display will power screen for ~1 minute for viewing and then go back off. The Web Dashboard will not be accessible until main power resumes. Alerts will continue to be sent while on battery backup.
The wireless temperature sensor(s) LED blinks every 10 seconds, indicating sensor sent temperature, battery power, and signal strength.

PRODUCT SETUP
