Page 3: Introduction
Kit 1. Introduction With the Site Monitoring Kit, ELPRO provides a clever, easy-to-install temperature monitoring system including alerting for remote laboratory cabinets and refrigerators / freezers. The autonomous Site Monitoring Kit offers a reliable 24 / 7 alerting, and observes compliance with the regulations of GMP and FDA 21 CFR Part 11. The Site Monitoring Kit consists of the following hardware: - LIBERO PDF Logger Te1-N that automatically creates a PDF report upon connection to a USB port of a computer. A temperature probe with a thin flexible ribbon cable which adapts perfectly to the gaskets of any laboratory cabinet and enables an installation by the user. - A thermal damper to avoid false alarms - A battery-operated alarm bracket, which provides an audible and visual alarm signal. Optionally, the alarm can be routed to an external alarming system. If required, the LIBERO PDF report can be analyzed and documented in detail by means of the elproVIEWER software. -

Page 6: Preparation
Kit 3. Preparation Before installing the Site Monitoring Kit, the following items should be considered: 1. Positioning of the alarm bracket Option – on the door of the cabinet Option – on the side of the cabinet Make sure that the cable length for the selected positioning is sufficient. Do not place the entire kit within the cabinet! 2. Positioning of the temperature probe There are 3 possibilities to mount the tem- perature probe inside the cabinet. It should be as close as possible to the products to reflect temperatures to which products are exposed. Use the hook to hang it to the middle refrigerator grid shelf Use the adhesive tape to attach it under- neath the middle refrigerator glass shelf Use the adhesive tape to attach it to the side wall... -

Page 10: Installation Of The Thermal Damper
Kit Installation of the thermal damper Before the thermal damper is mounted, adjust the cable length and sort the extra cable length with the cable manager: Unwind cable and slide temperature probe as far as possible into the thermal damper Use the first hole to lock the cable and lead it to the back of the cable manager Wind any extra cable around the cable manager Use the second and third hole to hold cable tightly Place the thermal damper at the desired position. Installation of the alarm bracket Align the connector of the flexible flat cable and carefully plug it into the alarm bracket, tighten the silver lock nut. Use the adhesive tape to mount the alarm bracket and fix it by firmly pressing it against the refrigerator door or outside wall. -
