Introduction
LogTag’s USRID-16W is a fully configurable, single-use USB PDF temperature indicator
with a built-in display, that can create temperature reports without the need to install
proprietary software or hardware at the destination. Minimum and maximum trip
temperatures as well as alarm trigger times can be reviewed directly on the display
without the need for a PC. The indicator can be configured using LogTag® Analyzer, and
is then placed with the goods to be monitored. At the destination the USRID-16W 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.

Configuring the USRID-16W for logging
Before a USRID-16W indicator can be deployed, it must be configured with the
parameters required for starting and recording temperature values.
Indicators can be purchased unconfigured, or pre-configured, ready to be started, using
one of a number of different profiles that are available.
You can check if your indicator is already configured or not by briefly pressing the
STOP/Review button.
The indicator is already configured to start
If your indicator is configured to start it will show either
if the indicator was pre-configured for a push-button start, or
if the indicator was pre-configured for a Date/Time start.
If your indicator shows one of these screens you may skip the configuration process,
although you can still re-configure the unit to change its recording parameters.
The indicator is unconfigured
An unconfigured USRID-16W indicator is delivered to you hibernated (i.e. in a state of
low power consumption), and pressing the STOP/Review button shows:
