Preparing a UTRED30-WiFi for first use UTRED30-WiFi User Guide 11
UTRED30-WiFi Start Options
During configuration with LogTag® Analyzer you can decide when the UTRED30-WiFi starts taking
temperature readings:
Push button start
The logger will start taking temperature readings as soon as you have pressed the START/CLEAR/STOP
button (see Starting the Logger on page28).
When you choose the push button start option, you can select to record Pre-start readings or Begin
recording after a delay:
lIf you select pre-start readings, the UTRED30-WiFi starts recording as soon as it is configured and
will continue to do so until you start the unit. No alarms are processed while pre-start readings are
being taken, pre-start readings will not appear in the PDF file, and no PDF file will be generated. Using
pre-start readings is a good way to avoid data loss if you forget to start the unit, as you can still
access the data using LogTag® Analyzer.
lIf you configure the UTRED30-WiFi to start after a delay period, the logger will not immediately record
temperature readings after you have pressed START/CLEAR/STOP, but start a countdown timer
instead, and record readings only after the timer has ended. The value for the timer is set during
configuration. If enabled, it will continue to take pre-start readings.
Date/Time start
The logger will start taking temperature readings at the date and time you specify (local time). You cannot
combine a date/time start with pre-start readings or the start delay function.
Alarm Configuration Options
The UTRED30-WiFi can display an alarm if either of the configured alarm trigger conditions have been met.
This is indicated on the display by showing the Alarm Indicator ( ) and the Day Alarm Marker for
today ( ). Additionally, the red LED will blink every 4 seconds.
If an alarm is triggered, a notification is also sent immediately to your LogTag® Online account.
Each alarm trigger condition consists of a threshold temperature value, an activation type (which can be
instant, consecutive or accumulative2) and a delay time, if it is not an instant alarm.
If an alarm trigger condition requires readings to exceed an upper threshold temperature it is called an
upper alarm. If an alarm trigger condition requires readings to go below a lower threshold it is called a lower
alarm.
All alarm trigger conditions are configured in the Alarm Settings tab during configuration of the logger with
LogTag® Analyzer.
The screen shows an example where:
2
lInstant = one temperature reading is above (below) the threshold
lConsecutive = temperature readings are above (below) the threshold for the time defined in the activation delay without interruption
lAccumulative = temperature readings are above (below) the threshold for the total time defined in the activation delay time, but may not
necessarily be sequential
