5) Placing the Fridge-tag®2
4.6) LOC function
For a period of 10 minutes (other settings upon request) the
Fridge-tag®2 does not measure the temperature when the
following actions take place:
• When activation is completed
• After the last button operation
• The Fridge-tag®2 is connected to a PC / Mac
After the actions have been completed the sign „LOC“ appears on
the screen. This function prevents recordings of false data which
could be caused by heat while holding the device in the hand and it
allows an adaption to the environmental temperature before normal
recording continues.
Information: Even in LOC mode the user can press the READ
button to retrieve history information.
Note: It is recommended to „precondition“ the device for about 30
minutes to the desired mean temperature before use. This is to
prevent false readings during start up.
For the right positioning of the Fridge-tag®2 within the Fridge,
please follow the instructions of WHO, CDC or any other
governmental requirements of your country.
(For more information visit www.berlinger.ch/Fridge-tag2)
Fridge-tag®2 with an internal sensor
The activated Fridge-tag®2 must be placed immediately in its
predetermined location. It is recommended and important to place
the device as close to the supervised goods as possible to ensure
a perfect temperature observation.

• Adjustments can only be made for date and time settings and
for changing the temperature measurement unit.
• Once the device is activated, it cannot be stopped anymore.
• The number of time adjustments during the same day is
unlimited. Note: After the adjustment has been done, the
Fridge-tag®2 will be locked for 24 hours from the following
midnight (e.g. changes on the 15th Sep., device locked from
00:01 am on the 16th until 00.01 am on the 17th). This is for

Example of OK Display - during measurement
Example of ALARM Display - during measurement
Once the device is fully activated the ( ) OK symbol, the current
temperature reading, the time and the date will be displayed on the
screen. The Fridge-tag®2 will also indicate that the measuring is
made with an internal sensor.
A ( ) (OK symbol) is indicated during normal operation as long
as no alarms have been recorded. The temperature and time
conditions were within the preset alarm parameters.
If the temperature and time conditions are outside the preset alarm
parameters the following will be displayed on the screen:
1st: The ( ) (OK symbol) will be replaced by (X) ALARM symbol
2nd: An additional arrow will be indicated in the upper display
area to show which ALARM limit has been violated and on
which day.
3rd: In addition to the (X) (ALARM symbol) the
warning symbol (!) will appear beside the (X).
Note:
The warning symbol will remain visible until the user reads the
details of the triggered alarm/s. After that it will disappear.
ALARM indications cannot be cancelled nor reset.
