13 Usage Process
SmartMonitor SHIP L is mainly used for monitoring temperature sensitive products
throughout the supply chain. The device has various configuration options. The device states
are visualized below and described in more detail in the following chapters. The usage
process may vary depending on the configuration.
13.1 Preparation
13.1.1 Battery check
Check if the internal battery is charged and has enough capacity for the shipment. A device with a
fully charged battery can record with a logging interval of 10 minutes without GNSS (Global
Navigation Satellite System):
•at 5 °C: > 60 days at a transfer interval of 1h
•at 20 °C: > 60 days at a transfer interval of 1h
•at -20 °C: >60 days at a transfer interval of 6h
•at -30 °C: >60 days at a transfer interval of 6h
To check the battery level, press the multifunctional button once. The battery level is displayed as
follow:
Fully charged battery →Device can be used for shipment
Charged battery →Battery needs to be charged
Half charged battery →Battery needs to be charged
Low battery →Battery needs to be charged
Empty battery Battery needs to be charged
If nothing happens after pressing the multifunctional button, the battery needs to be charged.
If battery needs to be charged, connect it with a USB-C connector to a USB charger.
Important:
Charging the battery is only possible with a deactivated (switched off) SmartMonitor SHIP L device.
13.1.2 Display check
To check the display, press once short the multifunctional button, the display will show the status of
the device. (Check also chapter Maintenance)
13.1.3 Housing check
Check if the housing is not damaged and no label is attached over the light and humidity sensor.

Draft version 02 Operatots Manual / SmartMonitor SHIP L page 17 of 26
13.2 Setup
If no configuration is already loaded on the device, press the multifunctional button quickly
3 times .
→The configuration will be loaded. See chapter 5 multifunctional button

Before the device will be used for the next shipment, follow the instruction at chapter Maintenance.
If the unit was rented from Berlinger, return it to Berlinger in accordance with the RMA process.
14 Where to place SmartMonitor SHIP L
Berlinger recommends to place SmartMonitor SHIP L as close as possible to the product to be
monitored so that the temperature can be recorded as accurately as possible.
If temperature monitoring is done with an external sensor, the external sensor should be as close as
possible to the product to be monitored and the SmartMonitor SHIP L can be mounted on the outer
cover.
Important:
If SmartMonitor SHIP L is mounted on the outer cover, Berlinger recommends securing the device so
that it cannot be damaged.
The cable of the external sensor should be mounted in such a way that it does not interfere with the
handling of the transport or can be pulled off.

Draft version 02 Operatots Manual / SmartMonitor SHIP L page 20 of 26
15 External Temperature Sensor
Use only original Berlinger external sensors for SmartMonitor SHIP L.
Make sure that the sensor is properly connected to the device and the connector is secured
(tightened by hand). Do not tighten the connector with pliers or any other tool, otherwise the
connector may be damaged.
The cable must be attached to the shipment in such a way that it does not interfere with normal
transport.
Berlinger offers several types of external sensor as:
1.5 Meter Temperature Sensor
1.5 Meter Temperature/Humidity Sensor
