1) Display explanation

Introduction to the Q-tag® CLm doc familyThe Q-tag® CLm doc family monitors reliably and precisely various temperature-profiles. It indicates the current date and time and provides a visual indication of ALARMS on the display.Details about ALARM events may be obtained upon pressing the INFO-BUTTON and / or via a down-loaded report achieved through the USB connection with a computer.

2) State of delivery / Sleep ModeQ-tag® CLm doc devices will be shipped in the „Sleep Mode“. In this mode the display is blank. This is the state of delivery of the device. It is the lowest current consumption state of a device of the Q-tag® CLm doc family. The device is not activated and no data is recorded (see also point: 1 State of delivery / Sleep Mode3) Gathering information prior to device activation (in Sleep Mode)Diverse information can be read out after the INFO-BUTTON has been pressed 3 times in one second. After 1 minutes the device goes back into Sleep Mode; the display is blank again.

3.1) Reading out CID-/ serial number

Before activation press and hold the INFO-BUTTON for 3 seconds. The CID number (Cofiguration ID) is shown for 10 seconds, after that the serial number is displayed for 10 seconds. Then the display goes back into sleep mode.

After activation (start logging) both numbers cannot be read out through the device anymore. After stopping the CID- and serial number can be read out through the PDF file with a computer.

4) Activation of a Q-tag® CLm doc family device

Expiry date: Please always verify the expiry date prior using any device (see: Expiry Code Explanation)

Important: Before a re-activation of a Q-tag® CLm doc LR device you must connect device to a USB port, please read out the recorded data otherwise the recorded data will be lost!

The device cannot be restarted until it has been connected to a USB port on a computer. Read out your recorded before a restart.

Active recording: is shown by the (OK symbol) and the flashing dot on the LCD.Q-tag® easy go software download: www.berlinger.com

Q-tag® CLm doc devices can be started as follows: (The start option must be filled out in the evaluation sheet when ordering)

Option A) Press the START button for at least 3 seconds

5) Start delay (optional)If a start delay has been preset, the device starts recording the temperature after the completion of the start delay time.The start delay time is displayed by the flashing START and the remaining time of the countdown.Stopping the device during the start period is not possible.

6) Add a markerIn order to mark a special event like a start of a destination “A“ or an arrival of a destination “B” with a time stamp (M1, M2, etc.) on the PDF, press the info button 3 times in a row. When setting the first marker „1“ will be shown at the display for 3 seconds, after that the information disappears. For the next marker „2“ is shown on the screen and so on and so forth.

Up to 255 markers can be set during the lifetime period.Important: for the CLm doc LR 255 markers can be set per running cycle.

7) Temperature recording / Placing the deviceThe activated monitor must be placed immediately in its predetermined location. It is recommended to place the device as close to the supervised goods as possible. This is an important prerequisite to ensure the temperatures observed by the device are as close to the product tempe-

rature as possible.Importamt: It is recommended to „precondition“ the device to the desired mean temperature for about 30 minutes before use, especially if no start delay time has been programmed. This is to insure against false readings during start up.

8) Display indication during temperature recording

A (OK symbol) is indica-ted during normal operation as long as no ALARMs have been recorded.

This (OK symbol) will be replaced by a (ALARM symbol) as soon as any ALARM has been triggered.

Additional arrows are shown in the left display area to indicate which limit has been exceeded. The operating indicator is flashing.

OK Display

ALARM Display with 3 parameter exceedances.

9) End of temperature recording / STOP ModeThe device may be stopped if the recording shall be fini-shed, e.g. if a shipment has reached its final destination. To do so the STOP button must be pressed for at least 3 seconds.

For the Q-tag® CLm doc only the plastic USB cover has to be pushed down and up in order to break off the STOP-tab. The display indicates „OFF“ and the flashing dot disappears.

Important: All other indicators such as (OK symbol) or (ALARM symbol) and individual ALARM arrows remain stable for at least 3 months. Display recoding has been stopped

11) Gathering information after activation of the device or in STOP ModeTo avoid missreadings (e.g. caused by hand temperature), the device interrupts its recording if and as soon as the INFO-BUTTON is pressed for 3 seconds.Reading and recording will automatically resume after 10 minutes without any button pressing.

On page 16 the information indicated on the LCD screen upon successive pressing of the INFO-BUTTON after activation or in STOP Mode is explained.

10) Reading the display after the device has been stopped

OK displayThe monitored goods have not been exposed to tempe-rature and time conditions outside the preset ALARM parameters.

15) Important informationLiability

- The manufacturer shall not be held liable: - if the device was used beyond the manufacturer’s given

limitations. - for any claims due to the improper storage and use of the

device. - for any problems with the temperature controlling and / or

cooling unit. - for the bad quality of any monitored goods. - for incorrect readings if the device was used beyond its expiry

date.

Battery

- The devices of the Q-tag® CLm doc family containing a lithium battery. Please pay strict attention to the following points: - The housing of a Q-tag® CLm doc family device must never be

opened nor destroyed. - Do never expose a device of the Q-tag® CLm doc family to

temperatures above the allowed range (fire, oven, micro waves, etc.). It may cause injuries. - Always keep a device from the Q-tag® CLm doc family out of

the reach of children. - The battery complies with IATA DGR Packaging Instruction 970

Section II and is therefore not considered as dangerous good - Dispose or recycle the device from the Q-tag® CLm doc family

in accordance with the WEEE 2012/19/EU guidelines or your local regulations. The device may also be returned to the manu facturer for proper recycling. - The end of the battery life is indicated by the expiry date printed

on the label. Accuracy and proper function of the device cannot be assured beyond this date.

27 back to menu

Useful life - The devices can be used XXX days, but not longer than 365

day. It depends on the device type (see technical specifications) and on the condition that: - The buttons are not pressed for very long time, e.g. if jammed

between the goods in a shipment. - Storage and operation of the device should remain inside the

recommendations of the manufacturer, especially temperatures below 0 °C or 32 °F could have a negative influence for the operating lifetime of the battery.

Attention - All devices of the Q-tag® CLm doc family monitor temperature

exposures and not the product quality. Its purpose is to signal if product quality evaluation or testing is required.
