Go where other LogTags can’t

This is the perfect LogTag when you need to measure temperatures inside coolers, underwater or in small spaces. Great for monitoring internal temperatures of food.

Push Button Start

Configure the Tag to use Push Button Start and there is no rush about getting the Tag from the Reader to the refrigerator. Logging will not begin until the Start button is pushed.

Range of Probes

Choose the probe that's right for your application.

Visual Alerts

If the Tag logs temperatures outside the safe range you have set, the Alert LED will flash red, giving you a handy visual notification that there has been a problem.

Why use an external probe?

LogTags are tough and versatile, bu there are some places they just can’t go.

In particular, when logging the temperature of liquids, you will need a probe. An example might be measuring the cooling rate of a large batch of custard.

Probes are also useful to monitor temperatures inside coolers and other containers without removing the lid.

Another use might be measuring soil temperatures. The probe is driven into the soil while the LogTag remains clean and protected above ground.

If you have any questions about whether LogTag is right for you, call us on 1300 30 33 34 or email [email protected].

Certification options explained

If you need some form of certification about the accuracy of your logger, you have various options.

Certificate of Calibration

This is a free certificate that comes with every LogTag. You can access this certificate through the configuration page in LogTag Analyser.

Certificate of Accuracy

This paid certificate is from a laboratory that uses testing instruments that have been calibrated using NATA-traceable instruments.

NATA Certificate

This paid certificate is from a laboratory that has full NATA certification.

Pre-configuration

Before you can start using a new logger, you will need to configure it with all the settings appropriate to what you are logging.

This is not difficult, and we have instructions on how to do it on this website, but if you would prefer us to do it for you, that service is available at a small cost.

We can pre-configure your LogTag with our recommended settings for:

  • vaccine refrigerators (2° to 8°C),
  • food refrigerators (0° to 5°C), or
  • food freezers (-30° to -10°C).

This means, all you will need to do when you receive your LogTag, is press the Start button and place it in the environment to be monitored.

What is covered with our shipping insurance?

Our normal terms and conditions (like most businesses) is that you take possession the moment an order ships. If the order is lost or damaged in transit then, in theory, it’s your problem. In reality we will have a conversation and try to work out a good way to resolve the issue where we are both happy (or not too upset).

Shipping insurance is there to remove the drama. If an order is lost or damaged in transit, we will simply send out a replacement, and we will then deal with the courier directly to resolve the original problem.

Our shipping insurance also means that if an order is delayed beyond what is normal and reasonable then we will send you another shipment (stock levels permitting). Then you should receive one of them sooner, and when the second one arrives you simply Return To Sender.

How much is shipping insurance?

Shipping insurance is 5% of the cost of the goods.

Is it worth it? Practically we have had far less than 5% of shipments have problems. It is, however, what Australia Post and other couriers charge. Ultimately insurance is about peace of mind and less hassle when something does go wrong.

Shipping insurance as an option

Shipping insurance is offered as an option on all our web sites. You can select it at the checkout.

For large orders our staff may also ask if you would like shipping insurance.

If you would like shipping insurance on an order you are placing with us, just ask.

Mandatory shipping insurance

Unfortunately we have had a couple of large orders not make it and then the customer refused to pay. A friend suggested that the easy way to avoid the dispute is to insure any shipments where we have a significant risk.

If you would like an immediate line of credit (30 days to pay) and have the goods ship immediately (no credit check delays) and are purchasing over $500 then we will add shipping insurance to your order.

The shipping insurance can be waived if the order is between $500 and $2,000 and you provide us with a formal confirmation that you accept responsibility of the goods once they ship.

Alternatively you can prepay by direct deposit or credit card.

What is not covered?

If there is a clear proof of delivery to the shipping address provided then we class that as delivered. Unfortunately there are cases where it is lost somewhere between the loading dock or receptionist and ending up in your hands. But we also know that a photo of the bag against a generic grey background is not proof of delivery, it is just proof of existence! It needs to be a reasonable proof of delivery.

It also doesn’t cover the expectation of overnight delivery. For example, if we were to ship to Melbourne (we are in Sydney) then we would expect it to be delivered within about 3 days. Most of the time it is overnight, but there are enough floods and other issues that regularly cause minor delays. Sending a second order the next day tends to not fix the problem. If it is super urgent, talk to us about how we can minimise the risk.

For damage claims we ask that you contact us immediately and we will probably ask for photos or some proof. The shipping insurance doesn’t cover claims weeks later. We do have warranty covering our items, but it excludes physical damage (e.g. being dropped). If the goods are damaged in transit then please let us know ASAP so we can cover it under the shipping insurance.
