3. Many users of humidity and or temperature recorders are used to attaching the recorder to a hook or tie wrapping them to a monitored object A wide variety of attachment methods can be used with the hole on upper right hand corner of the LogTag such as bolting the LogTag in position attaching it to a packaging strap using a car seal for security or other means The hole is quite strong so most means of attachment will not compromise the structural integrity of the LogTag We do however recommend that the dead weight stress on the hole itself not exceed 5 pounds 2 Kg The sensor for the LogTag is also very responsive so we recommend you position the LogTag in a location where it will not be susceptible to changes in temperature due to operational activities For example it is not recommended you place a LogTag beside a door way as every time someone passes through the door the LogTag will register the change of environmental temperature due to the breeze that will be generated by the person which does not necessarily reflect the overall temperature of the environment been monitored Chapter 4 Preparing LogTag s for recording 73 Model HAX0 8 Model TRIX 8 Figure 31 LogTag features Configuration Profiles To simplify the task of configuring multiple recorders with the same parameters you can store the settings you would enter during configuration such as alert limits logging interval number of rea
