DESCRIPTION
Traceable
®
Logger-Trac™ is the revolutionary, multi-use,
user programmable, electronic temperature data recorder
specifically designed for measuring environmental tem-
peratures during the transportation of refrigerated vaccines,
biological material, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and for
documenting the transportation of perishable commodities.

LCD DISPLAY
CURRENT TEMPERATURE – The current temperature
reading.
MIN/MAX RECORDINGS – The minimum and maximum
temperatures that have occurred since the device was
initialized.
OVER ALARM COUNTER – Indicates the count of
temperature logged readings which were outside the alarm
temperature limits.
ALARM WARNING – Symbol which becomes active once
a single reading is recorded outside the alarm temperature
limits.
TIME OVER ALARM – Indicates the cumulative time the
temperature has been outside the alarm temperature limits.
START/STOP BUTTON – The button is used to start the
device logging once it has been initialized. Hold button
down for 5 seconds to activate logging. If the Stop key
feature is enabled, pressing and holding the button will stop
logging preemptively. Note: if the thermometer is stopped
using the Stop button, the thermometer must be reinitialized
using the MaxiThermal software before logging may be
restarted.
QUARANTINE WARNING – When using the quarantine
alarm feature, the symbol will become active once the
quantity of temperatures logged outside the alarm limits
reaches the quarantine programmed trigger value.
Quarantine function is disabled in factory settings.
QUARANTINE TRIGGER VALUE – The number of
temperature recordings outside the alarm limits required to
activate the Quarantine warning symbol.
ALARM TRIGGERED – Indicates the temperature is in an
active alarm state.
RUN TIME (RECORDING TIME) – Indicates the amount of
time passed since the thermometer logging was initialized/
started.
PRE-PROGRAMMED SETTING
All units are pre-programmed at factory with the following
settings:
• Temperature units: Celsius
• Alarm setting – Minimum: 2°C Maximum: 8°C
• Recording duration: 30 days
• Recording interval: 5 minutes 33 seconds
• User Stop Key Enable: enabled
• Quarantine Warning: disabled
PROGRAMMABLE USER SETTINGS
Through MaxiThermal software (not included) and USB
interface (not included), user is able to program the unit
to their specific requirements. Programmable options are
listed as follows:
• Description – Each Logger-Trac™ device may be
programmed with a unique description. This allows the
user to identify at the time of download where the device
was used.
• Time zone – Set time on unit to a specific time zone.
• Auto Adjust Daylight Time enable – The internal clock
will automatically adjust when daylight savings time shift
occurs.
• Temperature Measurement Units (Celsius/Fahren-
heit) – The temperature data will display on the LCD in
the selected measurement units.
• Start delay – When this feature is used, a time delay
occurs before data recording is started after the user
presses the START button.
• Recording duration/Sample Interval – User can either
select the data recording interval or the total recording
duration. Note the parameters are dependent upon
each other so changing one field also changes the other.
• Memory Configuration – Once data memory is full, the
device may be set to either stop recording (“Record to
End of Memory” option) or continue recording by over-
writing the oldest data (“Continuous Memory” option).
• Alarm setting – Maximum and minimum alarm tem-
perature boundaries can be set. Setting resolution is 1°.
• Quarantine value – The quarantine feature allows
a user to program fixed values which designate how
many temperature readings can be recorded outside
the defined alarm limits before the “QUARANTINE” LCD
symbol should become active.
• No alarm – Disable the alarm with this option.
