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. For detailed software and connection support, please visit our online knowledge base at https://www.elpro.com/support/ and online manuals at https://elproag.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/POM.

Functional characteristics:

ECOLOG-PRO 2PTR is a measurement module with two external temperature sensors. Communication from this module with the ECOLOG-PRO RBR is via radio signal.

Power supply	3 AA Alkaline batteries SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS! Improper use or misuse of batteries may result in leakage of battery fluid or, in the worst case, explosion and/or fire. Please note: Always choose the correct type of battery that best suits your intended use (see ‘Measurement range’). So that battery status can be determined correctly, always insert new, unused batteries when changing batteries. Never insert different types of batteries into the device at the same time. All batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing old and new batteries may cause the batteries to leak and damage the product. Make sure that the battery contacts and mating contacts in the device are clean before inserting the batteries. Make sure that the batteries are inserted properly i.e. observe polarity (+ and -). Remove the batteries if you are not going to use the product for a longer period of time to avoid damage from leakage. Leaking or damaged batteries can cause acid burns on skin contact. When handling damaged batteries, you should wear protective gloves. Remove expired batteries immediately from the device. Do not disassemble batteries, do not short-circuit them and do not throw them into fire. Never try to charge non-rechargeable batteries. There is a danger of explosion!

How to connect

When using the software ELPRO Cloud: Make sure that you have defined the sensor’s settings in the software and that the sensor configuration shows the image displayed above. This gives you a 10 minutes time frame to connect your module via the following steps:

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.
- 4a. Wait until the left LED starts flashing red (once per second).
- 4b. A successful connection will be indicated by the left LED illuminating in green for 10 seconds. Afterwards, the left LED will flash 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.
