Transport Data Logger | TDL 110
1 Introduction and Intended Use
By being attached to the shipment and measuring and recording relevant parameters like
temperature, humidity, tilt and shock, the TDL makes the delivery process of goods visible
and traceable. These measurements are then documented and visualized through a mobile
application. Since the limits of each parameter can be individually configured, any violation
of these limits is traceable and clearly assignable to the stations throughout the entire trans-
port process.
The Transport Data Logger is designed according to the information provided in the data
sheet. Any use or operation which requires specific requirements and standards which aren’t
explicitly mentioned in the data sheet must be validated and tested on customer’s own re-
sponsibility.

4 Mounting the TDL
The TDL comes with an integrated mounting plate at the bottom side. The mounting plate
provides four mounting holes for screw fastening purposes.
Figure 2: Mounting the TDL using screws
1 Screwdriver
2 Screw
3 Mounting holes
In general, the TDL can be mounted in any position as required. The fastening, depending on
the specific requirements, can be carried out with screws or with double-sided adhesive tape.
In case shock shall be measured a direct and non-absorbing connection between the TDL
and the monitored good is required. For achieving this we recommend using either screws
or a fiber-reinforced adhesive tape. Recommended screws are either M5 countersunk head
or M4 carriage bolt.

5 Operation
You need to download the Transport Data Logger app to use the TDL 110. The required app “ Trans-
port Data Logger” is available in your Google Play Store or Apple App Store free of charge. Type
“ Bosch Transport Data Logger” or the product number/order number (0273600024001) of your
device in your app store’s search box to find the app easily. The app runs on Android version 5
(Lollipop) or higher and on iOS version 9 or higher.
You can customize the way that the TDL measures and records data in accordance with your
individual requirements in the app. You can also control and record data from as many TDL
units as required.
5.1 Connecting to the TDL
3. Start the Transport Data Logger app.
4. To find the activated TDL, tap “Search”.
5. Locate and select the TDL from the list.
6. Confirm the connection by selecting “Pair”.
1. Activate Bluetooth LE on your smartphone. For
devices running Android 6, enable GPS as well.
2. To activate the TDL, press the button on the
device for 0.3 to 1.5 seconds.
INFO
To enable Bluetooth LE Android 6 requires localiz-
ation service to be activated.
Figure 4: Search for TDL and list of found TDL
Figure 3: Activating the TDL
INFO
1. Pairing must be completed within 30 seconds.
2. If Pairing was canceled via the app, turn Blue-
tooth off/on or wait for five minutes.
3. In case a password is required, please enter six
times zero (000000) which represents a standard
password.
INFO
For correct functionality it is important to press and
hold the button between 0.3 and 1.5 seconds.

5.2 Configuring the TDL
To configure your TDL, follow the steps shown in the app.
1. Choose and enter a name for the TDL (optional).
2. Enter an e-mail address to transfer data (optional). This e-mail
address will be the default recipient address when sending data via
e-mail.
3. Tap “Continue”.
4. Configure the logging interval. The measurement frequency de-
pends on the required monitoring period of the TDL. As an aid for
configuration refer to the overview of the recommended configura-
tion intervals in 5.2.1 Logging Interval.
5. Choose a measurement parameter (temperature, humidity, tilt,
shock) by tapping “Set values”.
6. Swipe up and down to configure minimum and maximum values.
7. Tap “Continue”.
Convention for Characters
Only defined characters are allowed for the e-mail address and TDL name.
▶Allowed characters: [A-Z][a-z][0-9][@.,;/\|+-*_]
Notice
INFO
At least one value must be configured. However the temperature,
humidity and tilt measurement values will be recorded even without
the configuration of a threshold value.
Figure 5: Configuring the TDL

11 | 21
Transport Data Logger | TDL 110
8. Enter your desired PIN and confirm.
9. To start logging immediately, tap “Start logging” and confirm that
logging will start only when the TDL device is disconnected. The device
confirms logging start by flashing three times the green LED. To start
logging later, tap “Disconnect” in the app. The device confirms the
disconnection by flashing three times the red LED.
Then press the button on the TDL for 2 to 5 seconds when you want
to start logging. The TDL blinks green three times to confirm that
logging has started.
No TDL Access!
You cannot configure the TDL without a valid PIN. It is impossible to
reset the PIN; even at the factory.
▶Always make a note of the PIN and store it in a safe place.
Notice
INFO
The measurement starts immediately after you tap on “Start lo gging”.
The TDL uses its current position as a reference for the tilt measure-
ment.
If you configure the TDL in a different position to its final mounting posi-
tion we suggest to tap “Disconnect” in the app and activate the TDL later
in its final mounting position with a button press of 2 to 5 seconds.

These recommendations are based on assumptions, made for a specific number of shocks and
tilts per day.
At the end of the monitoring period the stored data can be analyzed and then cleared. The
measurement can be started from scratch again. For logging intervals that are longer than
15 minutes, the battery with a lifetime of 24 months will be the limiting factor.
