Page 11: Alarm Conditions
4.2 Alarm Conditions Alarm conditions not activated Without activation of alarm conditions (thresholds for temperature or humidity), the logger will log the respective measured values without evaluation against reference values. Alarm conditions activated If alarm conditions are activated during configuration: each logged, measured value is individually checked for compliance with or exceeding of the defined alarm threshold(s) within the selected inspection range. - Page 12 Inspection Range: Last alarming ON period only Only data and alarm limit excursions logged during the last Alarming ON>OFF period will be used for statistical evaluation. In the graphic of the PDF report only data of this last period will be displayed. Inspection Range: All alarming ON periods cumulative All data will be logged and displayed in the graphic of the PDF report, for statistical evaluation only data in the period(s) of Alarming ON is considered cumulatively.

Page 14: Operation & Options
4.3 Operation & options Start options LIBERO CE/CL/CH-BLE loggers can be started in different ways, depending on the respective application. Via the selected start option, the logger is ready for the logging of measured values. Depending on the start option you select for your device, it is also possible to configure the device to: pre-log measured values, logging start immediately or only when a condition from the selected alarm activation option is fulfilled (e.g. -
Page 15: Alarm Activation Options
Next Start requires configuration (start/stop ONCE) This option ensures that it is mandatory to reconfigure the (multi-use) logger before a next use. A re- start without re-configuration is not accepted by the device, and the display will indicate "ConF”. This additional requirement can be combined with all start options described above. Alarm activation options When alarm monitoring is activated, measured values are recorded, checked for compliance with any defined alarm limits and stored in the data memory. - Page 16 The delay time can be specified as any value (independent of the value of the selected logging interval), up to a maximum of 60 days. The time delay (rounded to integer values) is counted down to zero in steps of one minute each. Users who wish to take advantage of pausing the alarm (Alarming-OFF followed by Alarming-ON, e.g.
-
Page 17: Stop Options
If the option “logging before alarm activation” is selected, measurement data can be displayed, extracted and evaluated via the elproVIEWER software, which is available via the download section of the ELPRO website. Stop Options The LIBERO devices will adapt to your specific application, and loggers can be programmed to stop in different ways, even preventing a stop is configurable (in case of handling errors, e.g. - Page 18 Stop by pressing and holding the Stop button Alarm monitoring and logging of measurement data is stopped by pressing and holding (2 seconds) the "Stop/OFF" button, the display shows "Make PdF". After disconnection from the USB port, the logger is in stop mode, the display shows "StoP".

Page 19: Re-Start / Re-Configuration
Forced stop when measured value memory is full With the "Start/Stop" logging mode configured, a stop of the logger is triggered when the maximum number of stored, measured values is reached. Re-Start / Re-Configuration From run mode you get to stop mode at the end of the monitoring period by stopping the logger via the configured stop option. -
Page 20: Setting & Canceling Of Delay/Duration Time
Values for temperature and humidity are displayed, provided that measured values have been logged. If the logger is in RUN/Measure mode (after recording has started), the statistics functionality can be activated by pressing and holding (2 sec.) BOTH, the "Start/ON" & "Stop/OFF", buttons simultaneously. This step-by-step mode can be exited by briefly pressing the "Stop/OFF"... -
