RHDL30 PDF Dataloggers
Product Information
The RHDL30/RHDL40 PDF Dataloggers are devices used for measuring
temperature, humidity, or pressure. The datalogger has a display
that shows the measured values, with a toggle rate of every 5
seconds. It also has a low battery indicator. The faceplate of the
datalogger includes buttons and an LED indicator for easy
operation. The datalogger requires (2) CR2032 batteries, which can
be installed by twisting the battery compartment to the UNLOCK
position using a coin. The datalogger also requires Adobe Reader
Software for programming and generating reports. It is recommended
to program and generate reports at ambient room temperature,
allowing for stabilization time if the datalogger is removed from a
freezer.
Product Usage Instructions
- Configuring the data logger:
- Sampling rate: Select the desired sampling
interval from 30 seconds to 2 hours. - Start delay: Select the start delay from 0
minutes to 24 hours. The real time to log the first temperature
measurement will be the start delay time after pressing the START
button. Subsequent measurements will be logged at the selected
interval. - Unit of Measurement (UoM): Choose between
Metric or Imperial units for temperature and pressure
measurements. - Password: The password function is off by
default but can be enabled to prevent unauthorized reprogramming. A
password can have up to 16 alphanumeric characters. - Company Name: Input a user-defined name or
descriptor, limited to 20 characters, to be displayed as the title
on the PDF report. - Alarm types: Choose between Single,
Cumulative, or Disable for alarm functionality. The red alarm LED
can be stopped by plugging the logger into a computer to generate a
report or by powering off the logger. - Alarm delay: The preset alarm delay interval
for a single alarm type is always zero. For a cumulative alarm
type, the adjustable alarm delay interval can be set from 5 minutes
to 2 hours. - Alarm Limits: Set the alarm threshold values.
For example, if 2 – 8 degrees Celsius is selected, an alarm
condition will occur below 2 degrees Celsius or above 8 degrees
Celsius. The alarm limit can be set with one decimal place. - Time zone: Ensure that the PC is set to the
correct time zone before programming the logger. The logger will
automatically synchronize with the PC’s time zone when the Save
button is pressed. Note that time zone changes during transit
distance are not adjusted in the logged data.
- Sampling rate: Select the desired sampling

Configuring the data logger
It is possible to make configuration changes at any time before the logging function is started. Once the logger is started, configuration changes cannot be made unless stopping the logging first. If the logger is locked with a Password, the Password is required to make configuration changes. – Press ON/OFF to power on the logger – Connect the data logger to a PC via the USB port. The green LED is ON while building the connection with computer. – Windows file display window will appear. – If the correct file folder is not open, click on Folder to view files. – Open the file ” PDF Logger Configuration Tool. exe”. – The default language is English. The user may change it to one of several alternate languages. There are English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. – To review the instruction manual, you may click “Manual” to open the manual PDF file. – The user can check the calibration report for the logger by selecting the PDF file named “Calibration Certificate”. – User programmable parameters are as follows:
Sampling rate Select the sampling interval you need from 30 seconds to 2 hours.
Start delay Select the start delay from 0 min to 24 hours. For example: If the delay is 5 minutes, and the sampling rate is 10 minutes, the real time to log the first temperature measurement is 5 minutes after the START button is pressed. All measurements after the first measurement will be at a 10 minute (or selected) interval.

Unit of Measurement (UoM)
– Select the unit that will be displayed on the PDF report and LCD. The
selections are Metric or Imperial. In Metric, it is Celsius for temperature and
hpa for pressure. In Imperial, it is Fahrenheit for temperature and inHg for
pressure.
–
Password
– The Password function is default OFF. The user may enable it to prevent
unauthorized reprogramming prior to pressing the START button. A
Password may have up to 16 alpha or numeric characters.
–

Alarm types
– Regardless of the Alarm Type, i
the reading return to normal range or logging is stopped. The way to stop
red alarm LED is to plug logger into computer to generate report or power
off the logger.
– Single: an alarm is triggered immediately when the measured value exceeds
the alarm threshold.
– Cumulative: an alarm is not triggered when the measured value exceeds the
alarm threshold, but only once the overall average value during alarm delay
duration exceeds the alarm threshold.
– Disable: No alarm function during the logging process
–
Alarm delay
– The preset alarm delay interval for a single alarm type is always ZERO.
– The adjustable alarm delay interval for a cumulative alarm type can be 5
minutes to 2 hours.
–
Alarm Limits
– Select the alarm threshold values. For example: if 2 – 8 deg C is selected, it
means that an alarm condition will occur below 2 deg C, or above 8 deg C.
The programmable alarm limit of each parameter is limited to one decimal.
To summarize, to activate a alarm when 30 min average value of hazardous
alarm delay period is higher than 8 , please program the alarm delay as 30
mins, alarm type as cumulative and range as 2~8
