Elitech RC-5 USB Temperature Data Logger Recorder 32000 Points High Accuracy

It is working perfectly

Works as described with resect to data acquisition, storage and retrieval (download). Price is very reasonable compared to the prices of competitors units. Have not had the unit long enough to comment on battery life. The following information may be useful. Install the management software that comes on the mini disc and run the executable file. Plug the RC-5 into your computer's USB port and open the RC-5 management software by clicking on the "RC-4&5 Conventional" icon. This icon will be on the computer’s desk top and also will be displayed in the programs (left hand) toolbar when clicking the “home” button of your computer. The toolbar will be displayed on your computer screen when you have activated the management software. Once the management software is opened, click on the "Connection" icon. Then click on the “Parameter Set” icon and then fill in your set of user selected data acquisition entries the parameter fields to control the format of temperature data that are are recorded (logged), how often they are measured. When you have completed entering the measurement parameters, click “SAVE” at the bottom/lower right of the parameters set screen. Then click on “Exit”, which is also at the bottom/lower right of the parameter set screen. Next unplug the RC5 from the computer’s USB port. It will have heated up quickly during the time when it was plugged in to the USB port (while you were entering the data acquisition parameters) and the temperature displayed on the screen of the RC5 will not be an accurate indication of the ambient temperature, the RC5 screen will show a much higher temperature. About 30 minutes after you unplug the RC5 from the computer, it will have cooled down to room ambient temperature. The RC5 unit will not start recording until you push its left (play, start) > button while also holding it down for ~ 4 seconds. When you do so, the temperature that the RC5 unit is experiencing at that time (hopefully it has cooled down to be the same as the room ambient temperature) shows on the screen of the RC5 for ~ 15 seconds along with the >, indicating that the RC5 has commenced recording (data acquisition). To view and download recorded data, you need to plug the RC5 into the computer’s USB port and then click on the "RC-4&5 Conventional" icon to again open the management software. Clicking on the "upload data" icon will display a plot of the acquired data on the computer screen. Clicking on the "stop record" icon will stop the RC5 unit from recording data. Clicking on the "Export to Excel" icon will import the data to Excel.

Very satisfied so far. I bought it for a temperature control in a cold storage warehouse (4C) for food at work. For now I just test it in my office and outside but seems to work pretty well. I like the program that came with it. Easy to set parameters. You can export data in text, world, PDF and Excel program. For my use, the PDF is the one i will use. First page is the list of the setting parameter that was used, after you got a graphique with a table listing all temperature taken with the time. You can set a Maximum/Minimum temperature so if you go over/under these the color of the data (red/blue) change for an easy reading, really usefull when your product need to stay in a range of temperature. The price is really good, there is a good chance that I buy more of these after doing real testing in the warehouse. The only little down side for my use is that it would be nice to have a little Alarm that would go on when you go over/under the max/min temperature setting. So I would recommend this product.

Se usa en transporte con control de temperatura, es faul de usar y funciona bien

Very good
