179-PDF-T External Temperature & Humidity Data Logger
Reusable USB PDF logger with external probe for precise cold chain monitoring
Product descriptions
The Apresys 179-PDF-T is a multi-use temperature and humidity data logger equipped with an external sensor probe, designed for environments where the logger body must stay outside the monitored space — such as inside refrigerated containers, vaccine fridges, or sealed packaging. Simply connect it to any computer via USB, and an encrypted PDF report generates automatically — no software installation required.
Key Features:
· External probe design: monitor conditions inside sealed containers while the display remains accessible outside
· Auto PDF report: plug into USB → get timestamped temperature/humidity charts in seconds, no drivers needed
· Large LCD: real-time view of current temp, RH, min/max, recording status, and remaining memory
· 24,000 readings capacity: supports intervals from 1 minute to 24 hours for long-haul shipments
· Replaceable battery: uses standard ER14250 3.6V lithium cell — no need to discard the whole unit
· Calibration-ready: factory calibrated, supports re-calibration to maintain ISO/GxP compliance
Applications:
Pharmaceutical & Vaccine Cold Chain
Monitor fridge and freezer temperatures during last-mile vaccine distribution. The external probe fits through cooler lid seals while the LCD stays visible for drivers.
Food Transportation & Warehousing
Track temperature and humidity in reefer containers and cold storage rooms. PDF reports serve as proof of compliance for HACCP and food safety audits.
Chemical & Electronics Shipping
Document environmental conditions for moisture-sensitive components and chemical reagents during international freight.
Laboratory & Research
Record stable conditions in incubators, environmental chambers, and sample storage areas with exportable data for regulatory submissions.
