ElitechRC-5+ TE Digital PDF USB Temperature Data Logger Reusable Recorder Refrigerator Thermometer 32000 Points High Accuracy (Extra External Sensor)

Works great.Software allows good graphing of history.

Right out of the box this unit is ready to record temperatures. Pull the battery tab and press the left button for 5 seconds and put it where you wish to record readings. Easy peasy IF you want degrees Celsius measured at the external sensor. That will give you a full data set recorded every 10 minutes along with a plot of the readings. If you want to get readings in degrees Fahrenheit, or if you want a different reading frequency, you better download the app cause it begins to get complicated. Overall, great product at a great price!

Used it to track ac supply temps on a multi compressor system, to analyze the effect of known external variables on a finite environment... Works great!! Set it to record every minute with external sensor. Got 22 days of data with great responsiveness at one tenth degree Fahrenheit. Output data as a PDF and copied like a flash drive... It does take time!! If you record thousands or more points of data it does take a bit to compile the PDF after you manually stop recording. More data more Walt time. Be patient! It's doing alot of work making graphs n shii... I plugged it into a win 7 early with no problems, but it didn't show up in my computer until the device screen flashed PDF. Maybe stop it and wait till it's done processing before you plug it in? .... Great price and awesome product!!! Software on manufacturers website and its got more features than I used... Awesome!!!

I already own this company's regular blue RC-5 unit, and I am happy with that one, but this one is far too picky about batteries.The original battery that came with the unit seemed OK after removing the factory plastic that kept it isolated from the circuit. So, I set up the recording parameters, initiated the recording, and put the temperature probe in my fridge. The battery display on the LCD showed full charge.A week later I went to download the data, and it was totally blank, and the unit generated a PDF where all data entries said "battery too low" or something to that effect.So, I bought a brand new Energizer battery from the store, and tried again. This battery resulted in a successful recording of a few days. Then, I reset the unit and using the same Energizer battery, I tried to record again for around 6 hours. This time, the result was the same as the first time, and no data was recorded.I checked the batteries with a standalone battery tested I have and both showed up as green/good.So, in conclusion, my unit seemed to only work with a totally fresh battery, and if the battery was not good, it would start out appearing to record OK on the LCD display but would not have any data stored when hooking up to the PC. Unreliable, and disappointing.

Worked for a while, now shows an empty battery icon with a brand new battery from either Toshiba or Maxell. Still works to check current temperature, but if I try to start recording it shows "lobat" and refuses to function at all until plugged into a computer for a moment.

Product arrived on time and in excellent condition, very well packaged. Upon testing the remote probe accessory I noted a period of a few "Drop outs" in data collection, I removed the remote probe head and selected the "Internal" temperature sensor in the software and ran it for a few days with no data drop outs at all, this pointed be to the remote probe accessory, what I found was that the remote probe cap to USB connection wasn't making up 100% of the time, I looked in the end of the cap and "Loosened" the two screws (One on each side of the USB female connection in the cap) this allowed the connector to "Self-align" with the male connection on the data-logger. This completely solved the problem.I reached out to Elitech to tell them what I found and what I did to remedy it, they were very supportive and asked if I wanted a replacement, I said "No I believe it is fine now but thank you" and I also asked if I could have a "Blank" USB cap for the data-logger when I wanted to use it without the remote probe accessory to keep it protected, they kindly sent one to me (Thank you Elitech)Excellent product and superior customer service.I really like this product and wouldn't have any problem ordering more of them.

It doesn't make a daily summary of all the parameters it measures. I was hoping I could have a monthly summary broken down daily.
