1. Ensure that the battery has enough capacity to cover the expected session length. If the battery is new, activate it separately in the delivered activator for 60 minutes before placing it in the LyoPro data logger with the + pole facing downwards 2. If not already mounted, connect the thermocouple sensor to the data logger using the supplied screwdriver. It is important that the RED wire goes in the RED screw terminal. And that the BLUE wire goes in the BLUE terminal.
5. Select LyoPro Start Logger. A New Session window will then appear. Enter a name for the session (mandatory), session text (optional) and click OK. A window will appear displaying a graphic representation of the reader station slots 6. Choose Select All and Scan.

6.1.2. • • • • • • • • • 6.1.3. Proper Use Never use the data loggers outside their designated temperature range. Damage may occur to the electronics and can cause outgassing of the battery Treat the data loggers as you would any other sensitive electronic equipment. Dropping or exposing them to heavy mechanical shock may loosen or damage the electronic connections Check the o-ring and replace it when changing the battery Do not remove data loggers from the reader station while they are being read.
6.1.4. Disassembling / Assembling Data Loggers Battery: Disassemble the battery compartment of the data logger by unscrewing the top spanner by hand. Then remove the top lid by turning the spanner around and use it as lift for the lid. Insert the activated* battery according to the indication on the housing (+ pole downwards). Exchange the o-ring and put the lid back before tightening the spanner by hand.
6.1.5. Procedure for Cleaning TrackSense® LyoPro Data Loggers If any corrosion is present near the battery contacts, verify that no leaking is occurring. Lightly clean the contacts with a cotton swap and alcohol. Change the o-ring if necessary. Let the area dry before placing the battery in the data logger. Generally, the data logger can be: • Manually washed/wiped with Water for Injection (WFI) • Manually wiped with Ethanol • Decontaminated with vaporized H2O2 – mac.
6.1.8.1. • • • • • • Proper Use Never use the sensor outside the measuring range Only use the special screwdriver provided by Ellab to remove sensor from the data logger.
Note: Do not directly touch the battery poles and ensure that unused batteries are placed at moderate ambient temperatures under +25 °C. Note: The ValSuite software has a battery time manager feature that provides an estimate of how much battery power is remaining. The feature cannot be utilized if multiple batteries are being used in one data logger. Note: Even though the batteries have a temperature range of -80 to +150 °C, ensure that the data loggers are not used outside their temperature range.
7.1.1.1. Proper Storage and Handling WARNING: It is of utmost importance that batteries are stored separately in bags or trays to avoid short circuiting. Leaving batteries in bundles where they come in contact with each other is highly risky as it may cause a short circuit and thereby a small-scale explosion or fire hazard. DO DO NOT Note: Please do note, this also includes used batteries. Be sure to dispose of used batteries in a safe and clean manner. 7.1.2.
Note: Leaving the battery in the activator for more than 1 hour will cause the battery to drain at a rate of 2.0 mAh an hour. 8. Calibration 8.1. Ellab Factory Calibration It is recommended that TrackSense LyoPro data loggers are returned to Ellab at least once a year for factory calibration. Ellab performs the factory calibration, which adjusts and notes a new calibration date in the data logger. A certificate is generated, and the as found / as left data are included by default.
8.2.1. Ellab Temperature Standard (ETS) The ETS can be operated as an integrated part of the ValSuite software. It is a temperature standard that can be started, stopped and used in report analysis and calibrations. 8.2.1.1. ETS Versions and Measuring Ranges Ordering code Type Temp. Range Accuracy 20000190 ETS10 -80 to +250 °C ±0.025 °C ±0.015 °C* 20000191 ETS20 -50 to +150 °C ±0.020 20000192 ETS25 -196 to +420 °C ±0.025 20000193 ETSA182 -45 to + 150 °C ± 0.
WARNING: When returning an ETS to Ellab for service or recalibration, please use the suitcase delivered with the product in order to avoid damage. If the product does not arrive at Ellab in a case, all warranty is lost and Ellab reserves the right to include a suitcase at the user’s expense upon returning the product. 8.2.1.3. Setting up the ETS The ETS can be setup in 3 different ways.

The unique design allows for the handling of ANY size of vial, simply by introducing a combination of the appropriate LoggerNest, StopperClip, LyoStopper and/or LoggerClip. 9.1. StopperClip The StopperClip provides an effortless connection between the LyoPro data logger and the vial – ensuring that they are safely steered together. The clip comes with an integrated stopper system, while simultaneously fixing the position of the sensor at the predefined measuring point.

14. FAQ For additional questions and answers (FAQ), visit Ellab’s FAQ page at: www.ellab.com/contact/faq. What could be the cause of a spike in a temperature channel in ValSuite while all other channels remain constant? A battery failure and a disconnected sensor have similar results in ValSuite. The temperature will spike just before the data logger shuts down. One way to differentiate between the two is to check the temperature just before the spike.
Can I use my computer for other jobs while running a TrackSense LyoPro session? Yes , you can completely close your computer down if necessary. Upon reopening the ValSuite software, the software will automatically allocate the data loggers to the session that they were started in. TrackSense® LyoPro User Manual Version 3.
