Placing the Q-tag
®
Quad
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.
Note:
It is recommended to "precondition" the device for about 30 minutes
to the desired mean temperature before use, especially if no start delay
time has been programmed. This is to insure against false readings during
start up.
