3.3. Temperature recording / Placing the
device
The activated monitor must be placed immediately in its predetermined location. As described in the
SOP, or otherwise it is recommended to place the device as close to the supervised goods as possible.
This is an important prerequisite to ensure the temperatures observed by the device are as close to the
product temperature as possible.
Important: It is recommended to “precondition” the device to the desired mean temperature for about 30
minutes before use, especially if no start delay time has been programmed. This is to ensure against
false readings during start-up.
