Introduction UHADO-16 User Guide 6
Introduction
LogTag’s UHADO-16 is a fully configurable, multi-use USB PDF temperature and humidity
logger that shows the most recent reading on the built-in display and can create reports
without the need to install proprietary software or hardware at the destination. Minimum
and maximum recorded trip values can be reviewed directly on the display without the
need for a PC. The logger can be configured using LogTag® Analyzer, and is then placed
with the goods to be monitored. At the destination the UHADO-16 can be plugged straight
into a computer’s USB port and generates a PDF file, which can be accessed using PDF
software such as Acrobat Reader. Additionally, logged data can be downloaded via a
standard LogTag® Interface to the free companion software LogTag® Analyzer, where you
can display data in chart, list or summary formats. The software also allows electronic
archiving and exporting or transmitting data in support of sophisticated data management
systems such as LogTag®Online.
Features
The UHADO-16 temperature and humidity logger features the familiar LogTag® case layout
and an additional USB socket at the bottom of the product.

Case
lmounting lug for secure fastening of the logger to fixtures
lUSB socket with protective seal - shields USB connector from moisture and dirt
lrobust polycarbonate case, IP61
ldurable communications contacts
Buttons
lSTART/CLEAR/STOP button
can be used to start and stop the unit or to clear an alarm. It is also used to exit the
statistics review
lREVIEW/MARK button
can be used to enter the statistics review and to scroll through the statistical data
directly on the display. It is also used to place an inspection mark in the data listing
Display and LED
The display shows ‘at a glance’ if alarm events have occurred. Details of any alarm event
can be checked directly on the logger's display or in more detail by downloading the
logged data. In addition, a red alarm LED shows if an alarm event has occurred, and a
buzzer will sound.
Sensor
The UHADO-16 contains a digital temperature and humidity sensor. The logger comes
standard with a factory calibration certificate but can also be calibrated by third-party
laboratories for both temperature and humidity according to your needs.
PDF
The UHADO-16 will generate a detailed PDFreport when plugged into a USB port of a PC.
The PDF report shows a summary of the trip and presents the data in chart and list
format. A CSV file of the data list is also available.

Required Equipment UHADO-16 User Guide 8
Required Equipment
Aside from the LogTag® UHADO-16 USB PDF Temperature and Humidity Logger with
Display you will need the following items:
la micro-USB cable for communication to the PC (it is recommended that you connect
each UHADO-16 via a permanently plugged in micro-USB cable to protect your
computer’s USB socket, if you use the USB communication)
lone of the LogTag® USB interface models if you wish to use this method of
configuration/download
la PC running Windows 7 or later and LogTag® Analyzer installed if you wish to
configure and download the logger
la PC with PDF reader software installed for viewing the generated PDF files
Software Requirements
Software requirements vary depending on the type of file you want the UHADO-16 to
generate when plugged into a USB port.
If you wish to configure UHADO-16 products you will need to download the LogTag®
Analyzer software from LogTag®’s web site at
https://logtagrecorders.com/software/lta3/download/. Follow the instructions to install
and start the software.
If you only plan to view a report, plug the UHADO-16 into a computer’s USB port using a
micro-USB to USB-A cable. Depending on the settings made during configuration, a
number of on-board files will be generated1 and made available to you in a new drive:
la PDF file
you can open the file directly from the logger‘s USB memory storage with Acrobat
Reader 4.0 or later, or any other compatible PDF reader software of your choice2
la CSV file
this file can be imported into a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel
lan LTD file
LTD files are LogTag® Analyzer's native, encrypted data files. You can open this file
in LogTag® Analyzer, where you can analyze data in detail, generate report files or
combine data from multiple recorders for comparison
You can also download data directly into LogTag® Analyzer without accessing the logger‘s
on-board files, using either a micro-USB lead or a standard LogTag® USB interface.
1 Depending on the configuration, the UHADO-16 may produce all, some or none of the files.
2 PDF files generated by any USB logger can be opened directly in LogTag® Analyzer.

Configuring the UHADO-16 UHADO-16 User Guide 9
Configuring the UHADO-16
UHADO-16 products can be ordered pre-configured, ready to start. Different profiles are
available; if none of these suit or the UHADO-16 needs different configuration settings to
those already installed, the unit can be configured using LogTag® Analyzer:
lStart the LogTag® Analyzer software.
lUsing the USB socket on the UHADO-16: Remove the protective seal and insert a
micro-USB to USB-A cable into the USB socket; connect the cable to a USB port on
your PC.
Please note the USB connector's orientation.
You will receive a message that a new USB device has been found, and a generic driver
will be installed3.
3 Depending on the factory configuration additional drivers may be installed at this time.

Configuring the UHADO-16 UHADO-16 User Guide 10
Once the driver is installed and the UHADO-16 is ready, it can receive configuration
data. Click LogTag - Configure; LogTag® Analyzer will scan all USB ports and
display the configuration options for connected UHADO-16‘s. Although you can
configure many devices at the same time, it is practical to limit the number of
devices to about 10, using a powered USB hub. It is not possible to configure different
models at the same time.
lUsing a standard USB interface: Insert the UHADO-16 into the interface, contacts
towards the rear. You can now use the UHADO-16 like any other logger with the 3
contact pins at the rear, both for configuration and for downloading data.
Standard Configuration Options
The standard configuration options are very similar to those of other LogTag® logger
products and include settings such as User ID, start method, pre-start recording,
logging interval and duration, start delay, and password.
For detailed information about each parameter please read the section about Configuring a
LogTag® for logging in LogTag® Analyzer’s User Guide or press F1 for help.
Temperature Alarm Configuration Options
LogTag® Analyzer allows up to 4 different alarm trigger conditions for temperature when
configuring a UHADO-16 for recording.
Each alarm trigger condition consists of a threshold temperature value, an activation type
(which can be instant, consecutive or accumulative4) 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 lower
thresholds it is called a lower alarm .
An alarm event is generated, when either of the entered alarm conditions is triggered.
4
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.
