Data Loggers

A temperature data logger records temperature (and often humidity) at set intervals and stores the readings in its own memory, so you have a complete record of conditions in a refrigerator, freezer, walk-in cooler, vaccine storage unit or shipment. Readings can be downloaded by USB, or sent wirelessly on networked models, to confirm safe storage and meet food safety and vaccine storage requirements.

Common uses

• Refrigerator, freezer and walk-in cooler monitoring: verify that food and products stay within safe limits around the clock.
• Vaccine and pharmaceutical storage: continuous temperature records with min/max and alarm indication.
• Shipping and cold chain: track temperatures during transport and prove product stayed in range.
• Warehouses, HVAC and environmental monitoring: temperature and humidity loggers for storage areas, labs and facilities.

Independent backup for commercial refrigeration

Many refrigeration systems monitor themselves through their own network-connected controllers. A battery-powered, stand-alone data logger with a built-in alarm keeps recording and alerting on its own, independent of the refrigeration system's controls or network — a simple second line of defense against equipment failures, power problems or controller faults.

Choosing a data logger

• Single-use vs. multi-use: single-use loggers for one shipment; multi-use loggers for ongoing monitoring.
• Display: models with a display show current, min/max and alarm status at a glance.
• Internal or external probe: external probes allow glycol-buffered or ultra-low temperature readings.
• Download method: USB, or wireless/Wi-Fi models that report to software or the cloud.
