InTemp® CX400 Series Temperature Logger Manual
19996-Q
InTemp CX400 series loggers measure temperature in indoor monitoring applicaons. Designed
to meet World Health Organizaon (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevenon
(CDC) guidelines, this logger is ideal for clinical applicaons, such as vaccine storage and
pharmaceucal manufacturing. This Bluetooth® Low Energy-enabled logger is designed for
wireless communicaon with a mobile device. Using the InTemp app, you can easily configure
the logger with one of four preset profiles designed for ambient storage, clinical refrigerator,
freezer, or refrigerator monitoring or you can set up a custom profile for other applicaons.
You can also quickly perform daily logger checks, download reports, and monitor tripped
alarms. Or, you can use InTempConnect® to configure and download CX series loggers via the
CX5000 Gateway. The InTempVerify™ app is also available to easily download loggers and
automacally upload reports to InTempConnect. Use the built-in LCD screen on the logger to
check the current temperature, daily maximum or minimum temperatures, logging status,
baery use, and more. Once data is uploaded to InTempConnect, you can track logger
configuraons and automacally upload logger data to build custom reports for further
analysis. The CX402 model uses a 2- or 4-meter probe and is available with a 5, 15, or 30 mL
glycol bole (bole holder included).It also contains an internal sensor for ambient
temperature monitoring. The CX403 model is available with an internal sensor only.

seng up trip informaon.
a. Tap the Devices icon in the app. Find the logger in the list
and tap it to connect to it.
If you are having trouble connecng:
•Make sure the logger is within range of your mobile
device. The range for successful wireless communicaon
is approximately 30.5 m (100 ) with full line-of-sight.
•If your device can connect to the logger intermiently
or loses its connecon, move closer to the logger, within
sight if possible.
•Change the orientaon of your phone or tablet to
ensure the antenna in your device is pointed toward the

Logging will begin based on the sengs in the profile
selected. If the logger was configured to perform daily
checks, connect to the logger and tap Perform (Morning,
Aernoon, or Daily) Check every day.
Once logging begins, the logger will display the current
temperature reading and the minimum and maximum readings
within the current 24-hour period (midnight from one day to
midnight the next day) if the logger was set to record logger
checks (see Performing Logger Checks). Otherwise the
minimum and maximum readings represent the enre logging
period and only reset when the logger is downloaded and
restarted or stopped and reconfigured (they will not reset if you
download the logger and connue logging). These minimum
and maximum values are also available in the logger reports
(see Downloading the Loggers).
For CX402 models, you can click Next to switch between
external probe and ambient temperature readings. Minimum
and maximum readings are only available for the external
probe.
Logger Alarms
There are two condions that will trip an alarm:
•When the temperature reading by the external probe (if
applicable) or the ambient temperature is outside the
range specified in the logger configuraon.
•When an external probe (if applicable) is disconnected
during logging.
When a temperature alarm trips:
•The logger LED will blink every 5 seconds.
•The alarm icon will appear on the LCD and in the app.
•The logger will beep every 15 seconds (unless audible
alarms are disabled in the logger profile).
•An Alarm Tripped event is logged.
When an external probe is removed:
•The logger LED will blink every 5 seconds.
•“ERROR” and “PROBE” will appear on the LCD and
“ERROR” will appear in the app.
•An alarm icon will appear in the app.
•The logger will beep every 15 seconds.
•A Probe Disconnected event is logged.
To mute a beeping alarm, press the Mute buon on the logger.
Once muted, you cannot turn the beeping back on.
Download the logger to view details about a tripped alarm and
to clear alarm indicators in the app and on the LCD (the probe
must be reconnected for ERROR to clear on the LCD). For a
temperature alarm, the tripped alarm will clear once the logger
is downloaded and restarted.
Passkey Protection
The logger is protected by an encrypted passkey automacally
generated by the InTemp app for InTempConnect users and
oponally available if you are using the InTemp app only. The
passkey uses a proprietary encrypon algorithm that changes
with every connecon.
InTempConnect Users
Only InTempConnect users belonging to the same
InTempConnect account can connect to a logger once it is
configured. When an InTempConnect user first configures a
logger, it is locked with an encrypted passkey that is
automacally generated by the InTemp app. Aer the logger is
configured, only acve users associated with that account will
be able to connect to it. If a user belongs to a different account,
that user will not be able to connect to the logger with the
InTemp app, which will display an invalid passkey message.

InTemp CX400 Series Temperature Logger Manual
www.prosensor.com5
Administrators or users with the required privileges can also
view the passkey from the device configuraon page in
InTempConnect and share them if needed. See
www.intempconnect.com/help for more details. Note: This
does not apply to InTempVerify. if the logger was configured
with a logger profile in which InTempVerify was enabled, then
anyone can download the logger with the InTempVerify app.
InTemp App Only Users
If you are using the InTemp app only (not logging in as an
InTempConnect user), you can create an encrypted passkey for
the logger that will be required if another phone or tablet
aempts to connect to it. This is recommended to ensure that
a deployed logger is not mistakenly stopped or purposely
altered by others.
To set a passkey:
1. Tap the Devices icon and connect to the logger.
2. Tap Set Logger Passkey.
3. Type a passkey up to 10 characters.
4. Tap Save.
5. Tap Disconnect.
Only the phone or tablet used to set the passkey can then
connect to the logger without entering a passkey; all other
mobile devices will be required to enter the passkey. For
example, if you set the passkey for the logger with your tablet
and then try to connect to the device later with your phone,
you will be required to enter the passkey on the phone but not
with your tablet. Similarly, if others aempt to connect to the
logger with different devices, then they would also be required
to enter the passkey. To reset a passkey, simultaneously press
both the top and boom buon on the logger for 3 seconds, or
connect to the logger, tap Set Logger Passkey, and select Reset
to Factory Default.
Downloading the Logger
You can download the logger to a phone or tablet and generate
reports that include logged probe (if applicable) and ambient
readings, events, user acvity, alarm informaon, and more.
Reports can be shared immediately upon download or accessed
later in the InTemp app.
InTempConnect users: Privileges are required to download,
preview, and share reports in the InTemp app. Report data is
automacally uploaded to InTempConnect when you download
the logger. Log in to InTempConnect to build custom reports
(requires privileges). In addion, InTempConnect users can also
download CX loggers automacally on a regular basis using the
CX5000 Gateway. Or, if the logger was configured with a logger
profile in which InTempVerify was enabled, then anyone can
download the logger with the InTempVerify app. For details on
the gateway and InTempVerify, see www.intempconnect/help.
To download the logger with the InTemp app:
1. Tap the Devices icon and connect to the logger.
2. Tap Download.
3. Choose a download opon:
•Download & Connue. The logger will connue logging
once the download is complete.
•Download & Restart. The logger will start a new data set
using the same profile once the download is complete.
•Download & Stop. The logger will stop logging once the
download is complete.
A report of the download is generated and is also uploaded to
InTempConnect if you are logged into the InTemp app with
your InTempConnect user credenals.
In the app, tap Sengs to change the default report type and
report sharing opons. The report is also available in Secure
PDF, XLSX, and VFC CSV (if enabled) formats for sharing at a
later me. Tap the Reports icon to access previously
downloaded reports. See www.intempconnect.com/help for
details on working with reports in both the InTemp app and
InTempConnect.
Performing Logger Checks
If your monitoring applicaon requires that you perform daily
or twice daily checks of the logger, you can use the InTemp app
to connect to the logger and perform a check.
To enable the perform check feature in the InTemp app (if you
are not using InTempConnect):
1. Tap the Sengs icon.
2. Under Record CX400 Logger Checks, select either Once
Daily or Twice Daily. If you choose Twice Daily, a Perform
Morning Check acon will be listed in the Connected screen
from 12:01 AM unl 12:00 PM and then a Perform
Aernoon Check acon will be listed from 12:01 PM to
12:00 AM. If you choose Once Daily, an acon will be listed
in the Connected screen to Perform Daily Check.
To enable the perform check feature if you are using
InTempConnect, an administrator or user with the required
privileges must create a new profile for a CX400 logger and set
the Daily Checks to Once Daily or Twice Daily. For details on
managing profiles, see www.intempconnect.com/help.
Note: Changes to the Record CX400 Logger Checks seng will
take effect the next me the logger is configured. Also, when
this seng is enabled, the minimum and maximum values
displayed on the logger LCD represent the minimum and
maximum readings within the current 24-hour periods and will
reset every 24 hours. Otherwise, if this seng is not enabled,
the minimum and maximum values represent the enre logging
period and only reset when the logger is downloaded and
restarted or stopped and reconfigured (they will not reset if you
download the logger and connue logging).
To perform a check:
1. Tap the Devices icon and connect to the logger.
2. Tap Perform (Morning, Aernoon, or Daily) Check.
Once a check is completed, it is recorded as a logged user
acon along with the user email and the locaon, and is
available for view in reports. The acon is also listed as
performed in the Connected screen and a checkmark will
illuminate on the logger LCD.
You can also set up a noficaon to display on your phone or
tablet to remind you to perform a check. Use the Reminders
opon under Sengs in the InTemp app.

An ambient temperature alarm has tripped
because the reading was outside the alarm
limits or has cleared (CX403 model only).
Performed/Missed
Check
The user performed or missed the daily,
morning, or aernoon logger check.
Safe Shutdown The baery level dropped below 1.85 V; the
logger performs a safe shutdown.
Deploying the Logger
Follow these guidelines for deploying the logger:
•Use the four magnets on the back of the logger case to
mount it to a magnec surface.
•If using the CX402 logger for vaccine storage monitoring,
the logger must remain outside of the refrigerator with
the logger probe and glycol bole placed inside the
center of the refrigerator.
•If you remove the probe from the glycol bole with a
CX402 logger and then reinsert it, make sure you insert it
through the center of the glycol bole cap and push it
down unl the stainless steel probe is completely in the
bole. The black heat shrink on the probe cable should
be flush with the top of the cap as shown in the example.
•For CX402 loggers, use the included double-sided tape to
affix the bole holder to a surface if desired.
Protecting the Logger
The logger is designed for indoor use and can be permanently
damaged by corrosion if it gets wet. Protect it from
condensaon. If the logger gets wet, remove the baery
immediately and dry the circuit board.
Note: Static electricity may cause the logger to stop logging.
The logger has been tested to 8 KV, but avoid electrostac
discharge by grounding yourself to protect the logger. For more
informaon, search for “stac discharge” on onsetcomp.com.
Battery Information
The logger requires two user-replaceable AAA 1.5 V alkaline or
oponal lithium baeries for operaon at the extreme ends of
the logger operang range. Expected baery life varies based
on the ambient temperature where the logger is deployed, the
frequency of connecng to the phone or tablet and
downloading reports, the duration of audible alarms, and
baery performance.New baeries typically last 1 year with
logging intervals greater than 1 minute. Deployments in
extremely cold or hot temperatures or a logging interval faster
than 1 minute can impact baery life. Esmates are not
guaranteed due to uncertaines in inial baery condions and
operang environment.
Note: Make sure the baeries installed have flat negave
terminals. There should be no indent in the boom of the
baeries. Baeries with indents in the negave terminals may
