FAQ
What is the battery life?
Trackers have a battery life of 4mos in recording mode and 1 year in sleeping mode Loggers have a battery life of 10 mos in recording mode and 2.5 years in sleeping mode.
What is the Data Storage Capacity (memory life)?
Accumulates up to 65,536 temperature readings in any configured temperature bin.
Are the tags programmable?
Yes. The tags can be sent to a customer pre-programmed or ready for configuration by the customer.
What is the accuracy or temperature resolution?
±0.25 from -30?C to 30°C. ±0.5°C in extreme low or high temperatures.
What is the shelf life?
2.5 years
How is data downloaded or retrieved?
Log-ic is the only temperature recording device with an RFID interface that can be scanned through a shipping container (provided there are no metal components
How does an RFID reader differ from an optical sensor?
An optical sensor has two parts. One eye located in docking station sees the other eye on the temperature device and upon confirmation gives the signal to then download the data. Log-ic does not have an optical sensor. The RFID reader allows data to be downloaded in less than 1 second by waving a temperature tag past a reader.
Is a Log-ic tag reusable?
Log-ic tags can be ordered as one time use or multi use.
Are Log-ic Tags and CertiScan Software Validated?
Yes. Information on Temperature accuracy and Software Validation is available on request. A Certificate of Conformance is provided with each order.
How often do Temperature Tags need to be calibrated?
Log-ic Temperature tags are calibrated for the life of the battery in the tag. There is no need to send a tag back in to ATI for recalibration.
What is the difference between a Handheld Log-ic reader and a Desktop Reader?
The desktop reader is connected to a PC and sits on a desk. The HHR (handheld reader) is mobile. Thousands of tags can be scanned prior to connecting to a PC and uploading data. Log-ic is the only product on the market with this capability, giving the potential to save millions of dollars in data retrieval (labor).
Is Log-ic active or passive RFID?
Log-ic is semi-active. Below are some general guidelines:
Passive RFID - A device (tag) gets power when in the RF field of the reader. Therefore, the device will only operate and communicate when in the influence of a reader. A temperature monitor needs to have the functionality to record even when not in the presence of a reader - therefore this is not a viable option for transporting of goods.
Semi-Active RFID - A device needs the RF field of the reader to communicate but can also use a battery to operate without the influence of a reader. This allows a device to continue to record temperature without the presence of a reader. The device will only attempt communicating when influenced by the reader.
Active RFID - A device can both communicate and operate without a reader. An active RF device will continue to try to communicate even when not in the influence of a reader. This is not feasible for airline cargo for the same reason cell phones and computer wifi are not permitted when in flight.
