1Introduction
Congratulations and thank you for choosing the OCEASOFT Atlas wireless monitoring
solution.
1.1 Summary
OCEASOFT Atlas is a Bluetooth®
Smart enabled wireless device
designed to monitor temperature-
sensitive products during shipping.
With its small footprint, Atlas fits
conveniently inside many types of
product packaging and containers,
where it tracks temperature
according to parameters that you
can define for your specific needs.
Atlas records ambient temperature
at regular intervals and stores the
information in its memory. Atlas is designed for relatively short-term operation for shipping
applications lasting about 3 months. The battery in Atlas is not replaceable.
By using OCEASOFT Atlas with specially designed companion products, you can benefit from
a flexible temperature monitoring solution that adapts to many usage scenarios, from low-
to very high-volume needs. With this solution, you can keep track of critical temperature
information wirelessly without having to open any containers.
1.2 Package contents
•1 Atlas module with internal temperature sensor
•Adhesive tape for mounting
Pushbutton to check status
or activate module
Status indicator light

Introduction
OCEASOFT Atlas User Guide Page 7
1.3 Companion products
The Atlas datalogger is designed to work with several different types of companion products
from OCEASOFT, in particular, depending on the volume of modules you intend to use, and
whether or not you wish to use the OCEACloud online tools.
The Atlas datalogger must only be used be used with
companion products approved and recommended by
OCEASOFT.
1.3.1 OCEAView™ Mobile: program modules, read and push data
The OCEAView Mobile Application for iOS® and Android® offers
numerous features (described in detail in the OCEAView Mobile
Application user documentation). Notably, it allows you to:
•Program all datalogging settings on Atlas modules,
including temperature ranges, alarm limits, and the
module’s startup mode.
•Read and geolocate data collected from the module
wirelessly.
•Push mission and temperature data to the OCEACloud™
online service (note: Atlas modules include free data
storage and access on OCEACloud).
1.3.2 OCEAView™Web: Read and manage data
OCEAView Web is a web application that allows you to
access and analyze Atlas mission information (notably
temperature, location, and other key events) that is pushed
to the OCEACloud service either manually by users with
smartphones or automatically by the OCEABridge™
gateway.
1.3.3 OCEABridge™: Collect and push data with Bluetooth Internet gateway
Placed at a central location in a storage or shipping facility,
OCEABridge™ automatically collects data via Bluetooth when it
detects OCEASOFT Atlas devices within wireless range. It then
forwards the data to the OCEACloud online platform, where you
can access it with OCEAView Web.

1.5 Placing your Atlas module
Atlas™ is designed to be placed directly
inside the product package or container
whose temperature you would like to
monitor.
Depending on the situation, you may
choose to use the provided adhesive to fix
the datalogger to the side of the container,
or leave it loose inside a product box.

Using your Atlas module
OCEASOFT Atlas User Guide Page 11
2Using your Atlas module
Generally speaking, most of the useful features
provided by Atlas are activated or accessed through
the companion software and hardware tools. The
module itself is quite simple, with just two user
interface functions: the pushbutton and the LED
light.
2.1 Using the pushbutton
The Atlas pushbutton is used to either to:
•Activate the default settings (see next section)
•Activate Bluetooth on the module so you can program it with the OCEAView mobile
application on your smartphone or tablet, or
•Check device status with the LED (color codes described below)
2.1.1 Activating Bluetooth to program with OCEAView Mobile
Atlas features a default profile, set to monitor a pre-configured temperature range of 2°C
to 8°C, commonly used in cold-chain applications. This configuration reads the sensor every
10 minutes.
Upon delivery from the factory, Atlas modules are in a mode called “deep sleep”. That
mode is used to preserve battery life before the module is used. Wireless communication
and datalogging are both deactivated in deep sleep. When you want to program your Atlas
module via Bluetooth using the OCEAView Mobile application, you must first activate it.
To activate an Atlas module:
1. Press and hold the pushbutton on the front of the Atlas module for 3 seconds.
2. Bluetooth is activated, the LED blinks blue, and the Atlas may be discovered by
OCEAView Mobile for 1 minute.
3. During that period, you will see the device listed in the OCEAView Mobile display,
at which point you may connect to it to configure a mission.

OCEASOFT Atlas User Guide Page 12
2.1.2 Using the LED to check module status
The color LED on the front of the Atlas module indicates module status. The LED on Atlas
modules is activated by pressing the button on the front of the module. The LED lights up
as follows:
Mission not programmed
Bluetooth activated, module
ready to be programmed, or
currently connected via
Bluetooth

Mission programmed ( = short flash, fixed for 3 seconds)

This same behavior is obtained using the OCEAView mobile application, with the Blink LED
to identify module function, as described in the OCEAView User Guide.

Maintaining your modules
OCEASOFT Atlas User Guide Page 13
3Maintaining your modules
3.1 Cleaning Instructions
You occasionally may need to clean your Atlas modules depending on site or environmental
conditions.
Here are some recommendations and guidelines for cleaning your modules:
•Clean using a soft cloth with water, a detergent or isopropanol.
•Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents or scratching cleansers that might cause
damage to your datalogger.

Appendix 1 –Atlas battery life
OCEASOFT Atlas User Guide Page 14
4Appendix 1 –Atlas battery life
Many factors have an influence on Atlas battery life, both during use and in storage before
being used. Here are the main considerations to take into account regarding battery life:
•Ambient temperature: battery capacity is diminished when subject to very cold or
very hot operating and/or storage conditions.
•Wireless communications: Bluetooth connections, from the OCEAView software to
the Atlas module, consume battery power. Logically, the more you connect, the
more you use the battery.
However, it is worth noting that no connection is established when using Atlas with
the OCEABridge gateway, or when simply viewing Atlas devices in OCEAView
(without going into details). In that case, only the Bluetooth advertisement frames
are read, and Bluetooth emits those frames regularly, whether or not you connect.
Note: The sensor reading frequency does not have significant impact on battery life.
Because of the product’s optimized electrical architecture and circuitry, there is no
significant difference, in terms of battery life, if the sensor reads and stores data
once every ten minutes or once every minute.
4.1 Battery details
Atlas is designed as a single-use temperature monitoring solution, and thus contains a non-
user-replaceable battery.
•System: Li / MnO2
•Nominal voltage: 3 V
4.2 Estimated shelf-life (storage prior to use)
Atlas is designed to provide operation for about three months. In order to ensure reliable
operation, it is important for the product to be used within a reasonable period of time after
manufacturing. A “Use by” date is indicated on the product packaging.
The approximate shelf life of an Atlas module at 25°C is about 285 days.
