Elitech RC-5+ USB Temperature Data Logger with LCD Display

A. Product overview

Elitech RC-5+ TE is a reusable USB temperature data logger built for cold chain monitoring where traceable temperature records are required for audits and quality control. It measures temperature using both an internal sensor (ambient/product vicinity) and an external probe (for deep-freeze, product core, or hard-to-reach points). With an IP67 waterproof enclosure, EN12830 certification, and auto-generated reports (PDF/XLS/TXT), it is designed for reliable monitoring in pharma, food, medical storage, and temperature-sensitive logistics.

Key highlights

• Dual sensing: internal + external probe

• Range: external -40°C to +85°C, internal -30°C to +70°C

• Memory: up to 32,000 readings

• Adjustable interval: 10 seconds to 24 hours

• Auto report: PDF/XLS/TXT via USB plug-and-play

• Alarms: up to 5 configurable alarm ranges

• Rugged: IP67 enclosure, CR2032 replaceable battery

B. Working principle

1. Setup and configuration
   You set the logging interval, start mode, and alarm thresholds (up to 5 ranges) using the device settings/software as applicable.

2. Temperature measurement and sampling
   During operation, the logger samples temperature at the configured interval using:

• Internal sensor for ambient/nearby temperature

• External probe for product temperature, deep-freeze environments, or points with higher accuracy needs

3. Data storage and events
   Each reading is time-stamped and stored in the internal memory until the capacity (32,000 records) is reached. When temperature crosses preset limits, alarm events are recorded to support compliance checks.

4. Data retrieval and reporting
   After the trip or monitoring period, you plug the logger into a PC (USB) or an Android phone (OTG). The device generates reports automatically in PDF (and can provide XLS/TXT formats), making it easy to share records for audits, customers, or internal QA.

C. Why it is used

Elitech RC-5+ TE is used to create verifiable temperature evidence across storage and transport, especially where product quality and compliance depend on maintaining temperature limits.

Common reasons buyers choose it:

• Cold chain compliance and audit-ready documentation (EN12830, traceable reporting)

• Risk reduction for temperature excursions during transport or storage

• Quality assurance for temperature-sensitive goods (vaccines, medicines, frozen foods)

• Easy data download without special hardware (USB, Android OTG support)

• Dual-sensor capability to monitor both ambient and probe location temperatures

• Waterproof, field-ready enclosure (IP67) for harsh logistics conditions

FAQ

1) What is the Elitech RC-5+ TE used for?

It is used to monitor and record temperature in cold chain storage and transport, especially in pharma, vaccines, food logistics, freezers, and medical refrigeration where audit-ready temperature logs are required.

2) What is the difference between RC-5+ and RC-5+ TE?

RC-5+ TE includes support for both internal sensing and an external probe, making it suitable for deep-freeze or product-core temperature measurement in addition to ambient monitoring.

3) What temperature range does RC-5+ TE support?

External probe range is -40°C to +85°C. Internal sensor range is -30°C to +70°C (also listed as -22°F to 158°F).

4) How accurate is the logger?

Accuracy is ±0.5°C from -20°C to +40°C and ±1°C outside that range.

5) How many readings can it store?

It can store up to 32,000 temperature records.

6) What is the logging interval range?

The logging interval is adjustable from 10 seconds to 24 hours.

7) How do I download data and get reports?

Plug the logger into a PC via USB. It generates a PDF report automatically. It also supports Android phones using OTG for reading reports, and can provide XLS/TXT formats.

8) Is the device waterproof for logistics use?

Yes. The enclosure is rated IP67, suitable for wet or harsh handling environments common in cold chain operations.

9) Can I set alarms for temperature limits?

Yes. You can configure up to 5 alarm ranges (threshold settings) to record excursions.

10) What certifications does it have for cold chain compliance?

It is EN12830 certified and also listed with CE and RoHS compliance.
