• The defining feature of this model is its external probe (approximately 39 inches / 1 metre).
• While the internal sensor measures the surrounding environment from -30 C to +70 C, the external probe extends measurement down to -40 C and up to +85 C, allowing it to be inserted into refrigerators, freezers, cooler boxes, medical cabinets, transport packaging or product simulators for far more representative readings.
• Before using the probe, the sensor type is simply set to external within the free ElitechLog software, after which the logger records from the probe location.
• This flexibility lets a single device serve multiple monitoring scenarios across a facility or fleet.

Accuracy and capacity are well matched to regulated applications. The RC-5+ TE delivers +/-0.5 C accuracy between -20 C and +40 C (1 C elsewhere) with 0.1 C resolution, and stores up to 32,000 data points - double the capacity of many entry-level loggers - enabling long-duration logging or fine-grained intervals from 10 seconds up to 24 hours. The CR2032 replaceable battery supports up to twelve months of operation, and because the unit is reusable, it offers a low total cost of ownership for organisations that monitor continuously or across many shipments.

• Data retrieval is effortless thanks to the built-in USB port, which needs no cable, card reader or installed software to download records.
• Plugging the logger into a Windows PC or Mac provides immediate access to an automatically generated PDF report that can optionally be encrypted - either through the PC or via Android - to protect data authenticity.
• The report captures the complete temperature profile, alarm events and summary statistics, ready to archive in quality systems, attach to delivery documentation or share with customers and auditors.
• For deeper analysis, the free ElitechLog software exports data to PDF and Excel and allows configuration of alarms, intervals and start/stop behaviour.

Designed for demanding environments, the RC-5+ TE carries an IP65 protection rating and complies with EN12830, CE and RoHS standards, making it suitable for pharmaceutical, life-science and food cold chains that require documented temperature control under Good Distribution Practice (GDP) and HACCP frameworks. Its rugged construction and reusable design stand up to repeated handling, transport and storage cycles, while the button restart makes redeploying the device between trips quick and intuitive.
