1. Safety Instructions

Intended Use

All electrical devices produced by ELPRO are intended for commercial use („business to business“).

Environmental Conditions

Battery

Batteries can be changed. Material safety data sheet according to provisions of directive 91/155/EEC and shipping information are available from ELPRO. Do not subject the batteries to mechanical stress nor dismantle them. The leaking battery fluid is highly corrosive and can generate severe heat when it comes into contact with moisture or it can ignite fire.

Safe Use

Ordinary people may install and operate the device without further safeguards.

Radio Equipment

This equipment emits radiated power: LTE Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 66 maximum power: 23 dBm. Note: For Taiwan the equipment emits radiated power: LTE Bands 3, 8, 28.

2. System Overview

The ECOLOG-PRO xG IoT data loggers are used for stationary temperature and humidity monitoring of rooms and equipment. Measurement data is transmitted via LPWA cellular technologies (LTE-M and NB-IoT) to the monitoring software (elproCLOUD). The software stores and analyzes the data, automatically generates alarms in the event of temperature excursions, and creates reports. The system provides excellent transparency and traceability to ensure compliance with GxP requirements. The sensor-based monitoring software is easily accessible via a web browser and is also used for device configuration.
