RC-5+ Temperature Data Logger Digital PDF USB Reusable Recorder Refrigerator Thermometer 32000 Points High Accuracy PDF & CSV Export

+I got the model which writes a pdf file, which I read on my PC like it’s a usb stick. This is so convenient compared to having to use a special software. Default settings are OK, so I haven’t even loaded their software. +Has start and stop buttons and a display. Be aware, that it only seems to keep the last file, so if you need to keep it, copy it to your PC. +Compared very well for accuracy at fridge temperature against a professional calibrated thermometer, and has a calibration offset in software if necessary. +Easy cheap battery replacement, good battery life. -Protective cap keeps coming off unintentionally. Overall, love it!

It's very simple to use. I checked it with its factory pre-set (a data point every 2 minutes) by setting it to record for several hours outside and inside the fridge. Once stopped, I plugged it in to the USB port and opened the auto-created PDF; all the data points were listed and the plotted graph was clear: my fridge isn't working properly. All fine so far. I had to download the software from the Website (the navigation could be clearer) to change the recording interval from 2 minutes. I checked the installed software on two Windows 10 computers; it didn't with one, but I found that was because of a software fault with that computer, not with the device, so I'd advise that others do the same. The software worked fine. It would be nice if you could set the interval using the two buttons on the device (the instructions weren't that good, frankly), but It's a neat little thing and well worth having.

This appears an accurate and simple logging thermometer. The resulting graph is simple to interpret.. what more could you ask for? The instruction manual is useless. To first time configure the time and date you need the software. This is not obvious nor in the manual. For Apple Macs you need to download from the AppStore: ElitechLog. ( Do not look for it on the Elitech website as that has loads of drivers you don't need.) Once you run the app the Logger will be recognised and you can change the time and sampling time. In use it is simple and the pdf log appears to view when plugged into a computer.

I bought this to monitor temperatures in a large walk-in freezer coldroom (roughly 100 cubic metres). The only issue I had was Coudflare flagging the Elitech download link as unsafe or something like that, but I managed to get round that switching to a different browser. Once the program was downloaded I was instantly able to access data from the device. It's very simple to operate, the data is displayed in a clear and easily understood format (graph or list view) and there is nothing overly complicated about changing settings such as parameters etc. This little gizmo gives me a detailed, ongoing picture of my system's performance and is well worth the £25 outlay. Glad I bought it, definitely recommend it.

Excellent. See how temperature varies through out the day or week or however long 32000 data points takes to fill. This gadget revealed we needed to address a 5 degree temperature difference between what the freezer said the temperature was and what the actual temperature was. As the gadget can be placed at different places around the fridge or freezer you can see if there are variations. Only quibble is that it at my obvious that you need to download software to read the device. And oddly there is no link to it in the documents supplied. A google search will find it though.

Don't buy one of these loggers, buy a Freshliance instead. i bought an Elitech logger at Christmas last year and used for 3 days and it worked fine. Then somehow the serial number in the logger was changed and didn't match what the data software thought it should be. How that happened I have no idea, but the serial number cannot be changed by the user. I got in touch with Elitech and they were slow but helpful and sent me an App to be able to change the serial number, which didn't work. I contacted support again a couple of times as they seemed to be forgetting me. The last time was 17 April 2024 when they said they would get back to me. They haven't, so I give up. I need a couple more loggers and will buy from Freshliance. And of course I have to give a minimum of 1 star, but that is only so I can write this review.

Works well. I used it to double check the temperature in a cold store for scientific purposes. No app needed to view the data: the logger is visible as a USB disc and a PDF report is waiting in the folder to be viewed once the logger is connected. You can also use a dedicated app to download/view data on your PC. You can start/stop the logging and adjust time interval from the app.

Third one bought to keep check on temperatures around the household

Lee y registra cirrectamentr y el software de programación es muy intuitivo. Viene con certificado de calibración para 2 años

Ottimo prodotto, preciso nella misurazione e molto funzionale. L'assistenza al cliente la definirei superba. Consigliatissimo

Bonjour Un logiciel doit être charge sur internet pour pouvoir utiliser l'appareil. Cela n'est pas renseigné dans les informations reçues avec l'appareil. Un foi cela fait et compris l'appareil fonctionne très bien

Received a faulty product so can't give it more than one star.

Funktioniert genau und zuverlässig und ist einfach zu Bedienen. Nur die Auswertungssoftware dazu ist etwas primitiv.
