above or below the specied limits. The value displayed is
indicated by the following:-
TIME = displaying Current Time.
TIME DELAY = displaying DELAYED START time remaining.
DURATION = displaying duration of a given MAX or MIN
statistic above/below the limits on a given day.
Battery test is performed hourly:-

recordIng dIsplay
During recording, the display shows the temperature of the last reading taken,
the current time, battery status and a combination of alarm status and history. A
reading is taken and the display updated every logging interval as congured in
LogTag Analyzer. Following are some examples:-
Here the display shows that alarm events occurred 7 and
19 days ago. e current temperature is over the upper
limit (indicated by the
) but has not been over for
long enough to trigger an alarm.
10 Hours later the over temperature has triggered an
alarm. e ALARM symbol and the today marker day
alarm are shown.
A further 2 hours later the temperature has returned to
the acceptable range but the alarm remains present.

revIeWIng day statIstIcs
e Recorder will display up to 30 days of max/min/duration and alarm statistics.
If the Recorder is congured to record longer than 30 days (or continuously) then

To review the day statistics press the Review button. Each press of the button
will step through the Max and Min temperatures for each day starting with today
and moving backwards through the days (displayed day will ash).
Any button activity during recording will place an inspection mark in the next
reading of logged data which will be displayed when the data is downloaded.
Following are some examples:-
Pressing the Review button displays current dayís
MAX statistic.e today segment ashes and DAY 00
is shown to indicate the ‘Today’ selection. e selec-
ted day (today) does not have any recordings outside
the preset limits.
Pressing the Review button again displays the
dayís MIN statistic.
e MIN statistic is not below the limit and did not
trigger an alarm.
Pressing the Review button again displays the next
previous day’s MAX statistic. ere are recordings that
are above the upper limit. e MAX statistic is above
the upper limit (indicated by
) and the ALARM was
triggered for a duration of 10 hours and 11 minutes.
Pressing the Review button again displays the day’s
MIN statistic.
e MIN statistic is not below the limit and did not
trigger an alarm.
If less than 30 days of recordings have been collected, the day marker only
advances as far as there is data available. After the last day for which statistics have
been collected is displayed, the next press of the button rolls the summary back
to the statistic for today . Pressing the button at any time shows the normal
recording display again.
