Elitech Temperature Data Logger RC-5, Reusable Temperature Data Recorder USB 32000 Points, Software for Mac and PC with Calibration Certified (Orange)

This is so easy to use. Via the pc software configure the logging rate and how/when to start etc. Place in the fridge or room. Wait. Plug bank into a pc and download the PDF report, or connect to the pc app and get the raw data. So easy to use, low powered, battery lasts ages. Simply useful.

Device works fine but cannot set date/time etc. as Mac version of the sw does not work. No response from support :(

I had to download the right software for PC use, from US website NOT the UK version, which won't work. Once I figured that out, the device worked as described. I have an old Miele Fridge-freezer that had problems with temperature control, but I couldn't be specific about how much, and how long. With this device, I was able to graph temperature over time for various shelf positions, and thermostat settings. So, even for domestic use, "every home should have one".

So following on from the assurances of another user that this can be made to work with a Mac if you are marginally technical (being an aerospace engineer and developing embedded systems I assumed I would pass this test), I downloaded and tested the software which does run on my Mac (Mojave) however the situation with the drivers is an unmitigated nightmare. The drivers included in the installation package absolutely don't work and triggered a system security warning. Having googled around (the Elitech website is absolutely bereft of useful information) for further installation guides or third party drivers I found a few blog posts that mention various possible approaches however after an hour or so I have lost patience and the item is being returned. The logger itself may be fantastic, it turned on and appeared to be reading the correct temperature however I would steer well clear as a Mac user, the support is non existent.

Bought this to monitor the temperature in a lab. Downloaded the software from their website and used it to setup the unit. There are lot of options when setting it up, you can setup a timeframe of when you want to record or set the intervals between readings. I set it to a reading every 30s and it can record for over a week. The only issue is the sensor is internal so I'm not sure how much of a delay there is for the temperature reading to change when the external temperature changes.

cannot set it up, probably got cheap software inside, cannot get it to work correctly

Simple to setup, and does the job well

Easy to set up , use, interrogate and understand Pity you can’t start and stop it manually for several sessions. Ie daily between certain time periods. If you run it continuously for a week, it only records the high and low for the whole week. To get daily info you Need to download data after each daily session. Then reset to start again.

j enregistre la temp pour gerer ma pac

De logger zelf werkt goed. Maar het lukt me niet om de alarmering in te stellen. Ook na een uitgebreide zoektocht is t me niet gelukt.

RC-5+ é uno strumento utilissimo. La registrazione delle temperature è di immediata lettura sia su PC che su Mac perchè RC-5+ produce un file in Excel e PDF. Il software di impostazione è di facile utilizzo. Può registrare fino a 32 mila temperature; impostando la cadenza delle letture ogni minuto si ha un grafico delle temperature fino a 22 giorni. Il datalogger è nato per il campo alimentare, tuttavia l'ho trovato utile anche nel campo elettrico dove lo applico ad esempio per registrare le temperature di fasci di cavi degli impianti fotovoltaici, per rilevare eventuali situazioni termiche critiche (nota per gli addetti ai lavori elettrici).
