MaxiLog Alert USB Temperature Data Logger
A temperature excursion is not always visible when a consignment arrives. MaxiLog Alert records conditions throughout transport or storage, helping Malaysian quality and logistics teams check whether temperature-sensitive goods remained within their defined limits.
The range includes single-use loggers for one-way deliveries and multi-use loggers for repeated routes or storage checks. Standard models operate from -29°C to +72°C. The -80°C models cover -80°C to +30°C for dry-ice shipments and other ultra-low-temperature applications.
Recorded data can be retrieved by connecting the logger’s built-in USB-A interface to a compatible computer and opening the record in the supported software. Before use, teams can configure when logging begins, how often readings are taken, the permitted temperature range and how an excursion is assessed. If the programmed alarm conditions are met, a red LED alerts receiving teams to review the complete temperature record.

Can MaxiLog Alert be used for cross-border shipments?
Yes. It can record temperature throughout domestic or cross-border transport, provided the selected model covers the required temperature range and trip duration.
Which model is suitable for repeated delivery routes?
A multi-use model is normally the practical choice because it can be erased, reprogrammed, and reused. Select the standard or -80°C range according to the shipment conditions.
How can receiving teams identify a possible excursion?
A flashing red LED indicates that a programmed alarm has been triggered. The team should then connect the logger by USB and review the detailed temperature record.
Is additional reading equipment needed?
No separate reader or cable is needed. MaxiLog Alert has a built-in USB-A interface for connection to a compatible computer.
Does the logger provide calibration documentation?
The product information specifies NIST traceability and a certificate of calibration. Confirm the documentation required for your quality process when selecting the model.
