OPERATION 

To operate the device, the user must install the 

NXperience

 or the 

LogChart-NFC

  application according to the instructions given in 

sections 5 and 6 of this manual. 
To communicate with the 

TagTemp-S

, you must put your 

smartphone or an NFC interface next to the device. The range of 

communication is a few centimeters, being a characteristic limitation 

of NFC technology. 
If the device has not been communicating for a long time and if it is in 

circular log mode, it is recommended to stop the operation first. To 

do this, simply press the "

Stop

" button through the 

NXperience

 or 

the 

LogChart-NFC

 configuration software. 

4.1

Memory Modes 

There are two ways to program the use of device memory: 

•

Memory Full:

 Logs stop when there is no more free memory. 

•

Circular Memory:

  When reaching the end of the memory, it 

continues recording, overwriting the oldest records. 

Logging must begin with 

NXperience

 or 

LogChart-NFC

 applications. 

The log stop can be one of the following (whichever comes first): full 

memory (when this mode of memory usage is configured); a 

smartphone command;  by pressing the application button or by 

NXperience TagTemp-S

. 

Note

: The start and stop of the data record can be set using the 

button on the device, when set in that way through the computer or 

smartphone.

4.2

Luminous Notification 

TagTemp-S

 has a LED that indicates its operation: 

•

1 flash every 10 seconds: Active; 

•

2 flashes every 10 seconds: Recording; 

•

3 flashes every 10 seconds: Active alarm; 

•

A quick flash followed by a slow flash: Start or end of the records. 

If the LED is always off, it can be for one of the following reasons: 

•

Registration has stopped; 

•

It is set to low power mode; 

•

The battery has run out. 

Note

: The LED flashing is intentionally weak and can be difficult to 

see in bright places. 

4.3

Start Delay 

The Start Delay is a start-up delay, set by the user, in which 

TagTemp-S

 will wait before starting the logs. During this delay time, 

the LED flashes every 5 seconds. 

4.4

 Button 

The 

 button, located on the front of the product, can be used to 

start or stop data logging, according to the settings. 
To give the command to start or stop logs, press this button until the 

LED turns on and then release it before it goes out. 
If the LED goes off before releasing the button, the command will not 

be validated and the button will be disabled for 30 seconds. This is a 

protective measure to prevent accidental touches of the button from 

discharging the device's battery. 
This button is also used to remove the device from low-power mode 

(see "Device Power Options" section). 

4.5

Temperature Unit 

The unit of temperature can be chosen by the user between degrees 

Celsius (standard) and Fahrenheit. Changing the temperature unit 

causes a new setting to be sent. 

4.6

Range of Alarms 

It is common for the transport of perishable products and other 

temperature sensitive cargoes to have a preset temperature range at 

which the cargo is to be maintained. With the 

LogChart-NFC

  and 

NXperience

 applications, you can configure alarms for viewing at the 

time a download is performed. 
Two alarm conditions can be set: 

•

Temperature above desired limit; 

•

Temperature below desired limit. 

This indication can be viewed in the 

LogChart-NFC

 or 

NXperience

. 

In  the app 

LogChart-NFC

, you can check all alarm occurrence 

records in the "

Events Screen

". 

4.7

User

Offset 

A zero offset can be set up  ± 3 °C (± 5.4 ° F) for temperature 

adjustment. This makes it possible to reduce (or even cancel) the 

temperature measurement error for a given point.

 – Warning screen when the NFC interface it is not available  

5.2

App Operation 

The communication of the mobile application with the 

TagTemp-S
