IntroductionLibero is used for the monitoring of temperature sensitive goods during transportation. It provides reports on any PC around the world without the need for specific, validated soft-ware.After transportation, it can be plugged into the USB port of a PC and automatically provides a report in Adobe® PDF/A file format.Libero is compliant with the new ISO Standard ISO-19005-1 for Document Management and therefore heralds a new area in cold chain monitoring.Configuration is done by means of the Libero Configuration Utility. Further data evaluation might be done with the aid of the elproLOG ANALYZE software (minimum requirement: release 3.41).

Housing Elements 1. Protection cap2. USB connector3. Display4. ARRIVED-button5. TRANSIT-button6. Backside: Space for customer related information, data-

1. Safety Information

1.1 Influence of temperatureFor the range of application 8. Data Sheet.

- There is danger of a gas explosion when the lithium battery heats up to temperatures exceeding 100°C.

- Do not dispose loggers into fire the battery may explode.

1.2 BatteryLithium batteryMaterial Safety Data Sheet

(form according to EEC Directive 93/112/EC)- Lithium, Thionyl Chloride (Li-SOCl2)- non-rechargeable battery- Contains less then 0.8gr Lithium

1.3 Exceptional environmental conditionsIRMicrowavesX-Ray

Pay attention to the following when loggers are used under exceptional environmental conditions:

- IR radiation (warmth) and superheated steam can result in deformation of the housing.

- There is a risk that the battery may explode if the logger is used in conjunction with microwaves.

- X-Ray may harm the memory or the functionality of the datalogger.

2. How to set the Config Mode

2.1 Config Mode when switched OFFThe configuration mode is used to set or change all logging possibilities. This settings are done with the configuration software.After unpacking Libero is normally in "Power OFF" mode

Display is blank

Libero may be delivered switched ON with a pre-configured profile, ready for use. Ask your supplier for more details.

Libero has to be activated prior to its 1st monitoring task.As soon as the datalogger is connected to an USB port, it is going to start up in the configuration mode. Continue with 3. Configuration Software

Display is blank

If the datalogger is removed from the USB port, and no con-figuration took place, it switches itself off again.

2.2 Config Mode when runningDisplay shows any kind of information

For a configuration, Libero Configuration Utility has to be used. This software is downloadable from the Internet site http//.www.pdf-logger.com - download area.There are two different recording modes:

- Monitoring with previous settingsContinue with 4.1 Battery Lifetime - Display

- Monitoring needs new profile configuredContinue with 2.3 Start Configuration Mode

2.3 Start Configuration ModeDevice has to be switched ON (any mode)

TRANSIT- & ARRIVED-ButtonTo switch the datalogger into the configuration mode, simul-taneously press the TRANSIT- and ARRIVED-button for at least 3 seconds.

Configuration ModeAs soon as the datalogger is switched into the configuration mode, it has to be connected to an USB port within 10 seconds.

To Leave Configuration Mode- Press one of the buttons prior connecting the data-

logger to the USB port.

The following cases could cause communication problems:

• Bad extension cable

• Passive USB hub. Please use an active USB hub or connect the logger directly to the PC.

• The required USB Driver is not installed on the used COM port. For USB driver installation see 7. USB Driver Installation.

• Data access passwordIf the data access password is set, data transfer into elproLOG ANALYZE needs user authorisation.

Set/Change

Reset

Set the password first, then perform the confi-guration. Otherwise the configuration has to be done a second time.

If "New Password" & "Retype new Pass-word" are left blank, the password will be reset.

1. To reset a password the displayed "Request Code" has to be mailed to ELPRO-BUCHS AG([email protected]).

2. ELPRO-BUCHS AG is going to mail you the "Reset Code" by return

Step 1: 4.1 Battery Lifetime - Display

Step 2: 4.2 Transport Monitoring

Case 1A new device without optional calibration is provided with a validation statement (Document: Document of Validation) from Elpro-Buchs AG.

5.2.2 Calibration Process

Process• Start DelayData entry field for the desired delay time between manual calibration start and start of data logging. The "Start Delay" depends on the time required to reach the "Rated Value" after the datalogger has been submerged into the bath. Please be aware to store as less air as possible in the packaging.

• Measuring TimeData entry field for the determined measurement period. This value depends on acceptable temperature deviation within the evaluated data, e.g. 10 minutes returns an average true value measured over the last 10 minutes.

RemarksAdditional comment about the calibration, e.g. 2 Point Cali-bration.To start to calibration press "Apply"

Waiting for start

After the datalogger has been configured, it is waiting for the start of the calibration.

Delay of the calibration

The calibration is starting after having pressed the TRAN-SIT-button. The datalogger is waiting until the "Start Delay" time has elapsed.

Data logging starts

The datalogger is recording in a 1 minute interval.

Evaluation

At the end of the "Measuring Time", the average value of the logged data will be calculated and displayed. Also pass / fail according to the "Allowed Tolerance" will be indicated. These data are stored for later evaluation of the PDF file

5.3 Methods for Temperature Calibration• 0°C ice-water

Calibration, which uses the triple point of ice-water (0°C) as reference temperature. You can expect an accuracy of approx. 0°C ±0.1K.

• Calibration bathIf a calibration bath is used (-35°C .. 70°C), pay atten-tion to the fact that the reference sensor should be fastened to the datalogger under calibration. This will ensure the temperature of the datalogger is identical, i.e. there is no temperature difference. The watertight packet datalogger should be immersed completely bath should be stable. Also make sure that the dataloggers do reach the reference temperature. Repeated measu-ring and averaging can improve the measured values.

5.3.1 Ice Water Calibration Procedure1. Fill up an insulated container, e.g. a camping coolbox

with ice cubes. Use ice from an ice machine (-1°C) not from a freezer (-20°C). Fill the coolbox with cold water up to the filling height of the ice. Stir the contents of the coolbox thoroughly to mix ice and cold water.

2. The "Logging Interval" is factory set to 1 minutethe "Start Delay" to 30 min andthe "Measuring Time" to 10 min.

3. Wrap up the datalogger in watertight packaging mate-rial, e.g. in a latex glove.

4. Submerge the datalogger completely in the ice water.

The calibration process lasts as long as the total time required for "Start Delay" + "Measuring Time" together for each calibration point.

5. Calibration: compare set point and actual value6. Evaluate the module data and make a record of the

measured deviation values in your calibration logbook.7. Print out calibration certificate.

PRIOR ANOTHER USE, THE ORIGINAL TEMPERA-TURE RANGE AND THE TIME HAVE TO BE SET.

6.1 Select the setting fileFirst Time use or change of setting file by right-click with the mouse.

When SmartStart is used the first time, a setting window will be displayed. Same window can be opened any time when using right-click with the mouse and click "Settings..."Select the setting file (Example: ...\Samples\Drugs.Libe-roSMS)

"First item in the list" will make sure, that at program start the first the selection list will show the same sequence as defi-ned by the configuration software.

6.2 Use of SmartStartWhen starting the SmartStart program the window will show a pre-programmed setting. This will be specified with a text and a color code by using the Libero Configuration Utility.

Before using Smart-Start, make sure, that the Libero USB driver has been installed; 7. USB Driver Installation.

SmartStart shows the predefined start screen with color code and name tag of the first item. It waits for a Libero to be plugged into a USB socket.

A newly started Libero will create a PDF file after programming. It is not required to wait for this, just plug it out and continue with the next one.

SmartStart will automatically download the predefined pro-file and start a Libero accordingly. The logger can be unplug-ged and the next logger can be plugged to the USB pot.

Enter text by barcode reader or by keyboard.

After the last entry is made, Libero will automaticly be confi-gured and started accordingly. ID-Number will be shown in the green window indicating what has been done. Plug in a nextLibero and continue.
