Introduction UTRED30-16User Guide 5
Introduction
The LogTag® UTRED30-16 temperature logger features a data logging memory storing up to 16129
temperature readings and a separate statistical memory, storing maximum and minimum reading as well
as alarm duration for each of the last 30 days.
During recording the display shows…
… the current temperature (of the most recent reading)
… the alarm status (within or outside the acceptance range)
… an alarm trigger summary of up to the last 30 days (today and 29 days previous)
… the current time and battery status.
Alarm events can be triggered when a number of readings are outside pre-set temperature thresholds, and
a “day alarm indicator” appears on the display.
Logged temperature data can be viewed on any PC by plugging the unit into a computer’s USB port via a
micro-USB cable. A PDF file is generated, which can be accessed using PDF software such as Acrobat
Reader. The UTRED30-16 can also be downloaded 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.
Features
The UTRED30-16 temperature logger features a large display and USB connectivity with a familiar LogTag®
feel.

Display and LED
The extra large display shows current, minimum and maximum temperatures and if alarm events have
occurred for the current day and up to 29 days in the past. Details of any alarm event can be checked by
inspecting the statistics history on the logger's display or in more detail via LogTag® Analyzer. In addition, a
red Alarm LED shows if an alarm event has occurred.
Sensors
The UTRED30-16 will accept any sensor from the ST100 product range, up to 3m length.
Power Supply
The same USB socket that is used for communication is also used for providing power to the UTRED30-16,
using an external 5V USB power supply. The AAA batteries maintain all functionality when USB power is not
connected. A long-life CR2032 lithium backup battery maintains essential functions if the AAA batteries are
empty and external power is not supplied.
PDF
The UTRED30-16 will generate a detailed PDFreport when plugged into a USB port of a PC. The PDF report
shows a summary of the trip, presents the data in chart and list format and also includes a day summary
page, showing an overview of the statistics collected. A CSV file of the data list is also available.

Configuring the UTRED30-16 for logging
Before a UTRED30-16 logger can be used, it must be configured with the parameters required for
lstarting and recording temperature values
ltriggering alarms
This is done using LogTag® Analyzer software, which can also be used for downloading and analyzing data.
lStart the LogTag® Analyzer software.
lRemove the protective cap from the logger's USB socket and plug the Micro USB end of the cable
into the socket. Plug the other end of the cable into a USB socket on your computer and wait for the
drivers to be installed1.
lFrom the menu click LogTag - Configure; LogTag® Analyzer will display the configuration options for
connected loggers.
Standard Configuration Settings
The standard configuration is similar to those of other LogTag® logger products and includes settings such
as User ID, start method, pre-start recording, logging interval and duration, start delay, and password.
Adjust the settings as required. 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.
UTRED30-16 Start Options
During configuration with LogTag® Analyzer you can decide when the UTRED30-16 starts taking
temperature readings:
Push button start

The logger will start taking temperature readings at the date and time you specify (local time).

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 UTRED30-16 starts recording as soon as it is 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
1 You can configure more than one UTRED30-16 at the same time, however it is practical to limit the number of units to about 6, using a powered USB
hub.
