ELPRO ECOLOG-PRO 2PTR & 1THR Radio Modules Operation Manual
System Overview
The ECOLOG-PRO measurement and communication modules described in this document are used for temperature monitoring. The measured values are transmitted to a monitoring software, which stores and analyzes the data, provides alerts if alarm limits are violated, and generates reports. The system provides superior visibility and transparency in meeting GxP requirements. The sensor-based monitoring software is easily accessible via a web browser and is also used to configure the measurement modules and sensors.
The following pages contain key features and technical specifications of ECOLOG-PRO 2PTR and ECOLOG-PRO 1THR. In addition, you will find information on how to connect the modules.

LED Indicators (Link/Data)
Left LED (Link)
- Red flashing light (10s flashing interval): ECOLOG-PRO 2PTR is active but is not connected to a communication module ECOLOG-PRO RBR.
- Yellow flashing light (1s flashing interval): ECOLOG-PRO 2PTR is currently receiving its registration information. Please wait for green light.
- Green flashing light (10s flashing interval): ECOLOG-PRO 2PTR is active and connected to a communication module ECOLOG-PRO RBR. Everything is OK.
Right LED (Data)
- Yellow flashing light (10s flashing interval): ECOLOG-PRO 2PTR is active but registration was not successful and has to be started again by pressing the pairing button shorty (for less than 1s).
- Red flashing light (10s flashing interval): Measurement on one or both channels has started. There are one or more failures in measurement.
- Green flashing light (10s flashing interval): Measurement on one or both channels has started. Everything is OK.
How to Connect
When using the software ELPRO Cloud:
- Remove the screw on the front and open the measurement module's cover.
- Insert the three AA batteries.
- Bring the measurement module ECOLOG-PRO 2PTR in close proximity (approximately 10 cm) to an ECOLOG-PRO RBR connected to the monitoring software.
- Press and hold the "Connect" button inside the measurement module for more than 3 seconds. The left LED will blink red 3 times.
- Wait until the left LED starts flashing red (once per second).
- A successful connection will be indicated by the left LED illuminating in green for 10 seconds. Afterwards, the left LED will be flashing green every 10 seconds.
- Close the communication module's cover and tighten the screw. Place the module in its intended location (e.g. storage room, next to your ultra-freezer or cryo container, etc.).
When using the software elproMONITOR: You can connect the sensor to the communication module before or after parameterization in elproMONITOR. The monitoring software suggests already connected measuring modules or saves the data of parameterized measuring modules until the connection is made.
