1. System Overview
The ECOLOG-PRO measurement and communication modules described in this document
are used for temperature monitoring. The measured values are transmitted to a monitoring software
(ELPRO Cloud), which stores and analyzes the data, provides alerts if alarm limits are violated, and
generates reports. The system provides superior visibility and transparency in meeting GxP
requirements. The sensor-based monitoring software is easily accessible via a web browser and is also
used to configure the measurement modules and sensors.
The following pages contain key features and technical specifications of ECOLOG-PRO 2PTR and
ECOLOG-PRO 1THR. In addition, you will find information on how to connect the modules.

2. Measurement Module ECOLOG-PRO 2PTR
Functional characteristics:
ECOLOG-PRO 2PTR is a measurement module with two external temperature sensors. Communication
from this module with the ECOLOG-PRO RBR is via radio signal.
Power supply
3 AA Alkaline batteries
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
Improper use or misuse of batteries may result in leakage of battery fluid or, in
the worst case, explosion and/or fire. Please note:
Always choose the correct type of battery that best suits your intended
use (see 'Measurement range').
So that battery status can be determined correctly, always insert new,
unused batteries when changing batteries.
Never insert different types of batteries into the device at the same
time.
All batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing old and new
batteries may cause the batteries to leak and damage the product.
Make sure that the battery contacts and mating contacts in the device
are clean before inserting the batteries.
Make sure that the batteries are inserted properly i.e. observe polarity
(+ and -).
Remove the batteries if you are not going to use the product for a
longer period of time to avoid damage from leakage. Leaking or
damaged batteries can cause acid burns on skin contact. When handling
damaged batteries, you should wear protective gloves.
Remove expired batteries immediately from the device.
Do not disassemble batteries, do not short-circuit them and do not
throw them into fire. Never try to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
There is a danger of explosion!
Keep batteries out of reach of children. Do not leave batteries lying
around as they may be swallowed by children or pets.

How to connect
Make sure that you have defined the sensor's settings in the ELPRO Cloud software and that the "Add
sensor" wizard shows the image displayed above. This gives you a 10 minutes time frame to connect
your module via the following steps:
1. Remove the screw on the front and open the measurement module's cover.
2. Insert the three AA batteries.
3. Bring the measurement module ECOLOG-PRO 2PTR in close proximity (approximately 10 cm) to an
ECOLOG-PRO RBR connected to ELPRO Cloud.
4. Press and hold the "Connect" button inside the measurement module for more than 3 seconds. The
left LED will blink red 3 times.
4a. Wait until the left LED starts flashing red (once per second).
4b. A successful connection will be indicated by the left LED illuminating in green for 10 seconds.
Afterwards, the left LED will be flashing green every 10 seconds.
5. Close the communication module's cover and tighten the screw. Place the module in its intended
location (e.g. storage room, next to your ultra-freezer or cryo container, etc.).
