Rollex Medical's Recommended Configuration
•
Set the recording interval to 10 minutes as air temperature changes faster than product
temperature and this allows for minor fluctuations
•
Set the LogTag to Continuous Readings so no data is lost
•
Set a prestart delay of around 15 minutes to allow the logger to cool down to fridge temperature
•
Set an alert on a High temperature of 8°C for 2 consecutive readings
•
Set an alert on a Low temperature of 2°C for 1 reading
•
Enable Power Saving mode in the advanced configuration which dims the display after 30 seconds
to save battery life.
