3 Introduction to the Q-tag CLm doc family The 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. 1) Display explanation English 1 OK ( ) or ALARM (X) indicator 2 Individual ALARM indicators (T) 3 Operating indicator (running indicator) 4 START Indicator (start date and time) 5 Time Expired indicator (allowed recording time exceeded, optional) 6 OFF indicator (STOP date and time) 7 Duration display (DAY/h and h/min) and temperature display 8 Time display (duration and temperature display in Sleep mode) 9 Date display (details of ALARM settings in Sleep mode) DAY h START TIME EXP c h MIN OFF 3 back to menu

4 2) State of delivery / Sleep Mode Q-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 Mode 3) 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. 1 st Display test: all segments activated DAY c h h MIN START TIME EXP OFF 2 nd Time and date of test result of production testing back to menu 4

7 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. OFF CID (Configuration Identification Number) English Serial Number 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.

START OFF 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: back to menu 8

9 5) Start delay (optional) If a start delay has been preset, the device starts recording the START 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. English 6) Add a marker In 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. 9 back to menu

10 7) Temperature recording / Placing the device The 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 temperature 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. back to menu 10

11 8) Display indication during temperature recording A (OK symbol) is indicated during normal operation as long as no ALARMs have been recorded. English OK Display This (OK symbol) will be replaced by a (ALARM symbol) as soon as any ALARM has been triggered. ALARM Display Additional arrows are shown in the left display area to indicate which limit has been exceeded. The operating indicator is flashing. ALARM Display with 3 parameter exceedances. 11 back to menu

12 9) End of temperature recording / STOP Mode The device may be stopped if the recording shall be finished, e.g. if a shipment has reached its final destination. To do so the STOP button must be pressed for at least 3 seconds. OFF 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. OFF 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 back to menu 12

13 10) Reading the display after the device has been stopped OK display The monitored goods have not been exposed to temperature and time conditions outside the preset ALARM parameters. OFF English ALARM display The monitored goods have been exposed to temperature and time conditions outside the preset ALARM parameters. OFF Important: The ALARM indication cannot be cancelled nor reset. 11) Gathering information after activation of the device or in STOP Mode To 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. 13 back to menu

21 14.4) Verifying process This process is to verify if the files created by a device of the Q-tag CLm doc family has been manipulated (meets the strict FDA CFR 21 Part 11 requirements). Download the software (Q-tag CLm doc verifier) from our website: under Software. Open the software (Double click on the Java icon) The follwoing window will appear: back to menu 22

22 Click on open file English Option 1: Select the files directly from the drive while the Q-tag CLm doc device CLM DOC is connected to your computer. Option 2: Select the files from the place where you saved them on your computer. 23 back to menu

23 14.5) Verification of the PDF-file Now open the PDF-file. When the file is in its original condition, the following window will appear: Note: File names are write-protected. The names may only be changed after downloading onto a computer. Changing is either possible directly on unopened files or via open and save commands with the Adobe Reader. Using other programs may cause loss of the digital signature. In case the file has been changed, the following error message will appear: back to menu 24

26 15) Important information Liability 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. English 27 back to menu

27 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.
