Questions and Answers

Temperature-sensitive products can be exposed to damaging conditions at any point between dispatch, storage and delivery. MaxiLog Alert records the temperature history of a shipment or storage cycle, giving quality and logistics teams evidence to review before products are released or used.

Choose a single-use model for one-way shipments or a multi-use model for recurring transport and storage. Standard models cover -29°C to +72°C, while the -80°C models monitor ultra-low-temperature conditions from -80°C to +30°C, including dry-ice shipments.

The built-in USB-A interface connects directly to a compatible computer, removing the need for a separate reader or cable. Users can configure the start delay, sampling interval, high and low alarm limits and alarm mode. A red LED indicates that an alarm has been triggered, while the recorded data provides the detail needed for review and documentation.

What is MaxiLog Alert used for?

MaxiLog Alert records the temperature history of a shipment or storage cycle. Quality and logistics teams can review the record before accepting, releasing or using temperature-sensitive goods.

Which temperature range should I select?

Choose the standard -29°C to +72°C model for conventional cold-chain monitoring. Choose the -80°C to +30°C model for dry-ice and other ultra-low-temperature applications.

Is MaxiLog Alert single-use or reusable?

Both formats are available. Single-use models suit individual shipments, while multi-use models can be erased, reprogrammed and deployed for another monitoring cycle.

Is a separate reader required?

No separate reader or cable is required. Connect the built-in USB-A interface to a compatible computer and open the record with the appropriate MaxiLog software.

Does MaxiLog Alert send real-time notifications?

No. The logger stores data locally. A red LED indicates that a programmed alarm has been triggered, and the detailed temperature record is reviewed after the USB connection.
