OM-80 Series Miniature RFID Data Loggers
Section 1 - Introduction
Please read this manual completely before unpacking and operating your
miniature RFID data logger and reader system. It’s important read and follow all
notes, cautions, warnings and safety precautions before operating this device.
“Device” referrers to your data logger tag and reader.
Small, simple and affordable, the OM-80 series of data loggers measure and
record temperature at a user specified interval ranging from 1 second to over 9
hours. The tag is equipped with a one-button, three-LED user interface. The
start/status button can be used to activate the tag or check on the tag's status.
Two of the LEDs are used to indicate whether the tag has measured
temperatures that exceed programmable upper and lower temperature limits.
The third LED is used to indicate the tag's status through a series of blinks.
The tag is configured using a reader and PC user software to operate in one of
two modes:
ALARM CLOCK MODE
The tag begins collecting data at a prescribed time.
DELAY MODE
The tag begins collecting data after a specified delay from when the button is
pressed.
Once the tag has finished collecting data or in the highly unlikely event that it
loses power, the tag must be presented to reader/host software to download the
data and re-configure it for another data collection run. The tag can only collect
one series of temperature readings at time. The tag cannot be started, then halted
and later re-started, without intervention of the host software.
The OM-80 reader/host software requires no programming skills, and enables
you to effortlessly select a sample interval, specify a TAG ID, and initiate the
start of data collection. The data logger can be configured and ready to use in
just moments. In addition, all data can be saved in a format easily compatible
with spreadsheet applications such as Microsoft Excel. It is our goal to bring you
accurate, low-cost, easy-to-use data loggers that will easily integrate into your
working environment. To better serve you and understand your needs, we
welcome and appreciate your feedback.

Section 5 – Tag Configuration/Operation
5.1 Tag Information
To begin configuring your OM-80 series tags, connect your OM-80-RD1 reader as
described in Section 4. After connecting the reader start the Data Logging
software as described in Sections 3-3, select the appropriate COM port and click
the Connect button to connect to the reader. If you were successful in connecting
to the reader the status bar should show the COM port you are connected to and
the version of firmware for the reader.
Place a tag on top of the reader inside the rectangular box where you see the
words “PLACE TAG HERE”. Next push the START button on the tag twice to
wake the tag and start communication with the reader. If the tag is successfully
detected the software will automatically switch to the Information tab and you
will see a display similar to Figure 5-1.
While the tag is on a reader that is powered on, it will not
enter "sleep mode" and therefore will consume battery life at
a relatively high rate. Therefore, it is HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED that a tag be removed from a reader or the
reader be turned off after the tag has been configured.
Only one tag at a time may be presented to the reader.

tag.
Figure 5-2. Erased Tag Settings
Tag Configuration/Operation 5
5-3
NOTE:
Configuration Settings
TAG ID:
The tag allows the user to store 32-bytes of unrestricted data.
Suggested uses are for a human readable "TAG ID" and/or a record of where the
tag was configured.
Sample Interval:
Enter the number of seconds between temperature measurements. This number
can range from 1 to 32,767 (1 sec to 9 hrs, 6 mins, 7 secs)
The sample interval cannot be zero.
Sample Display Interval:
Enter the number of seconds between automatic status displays on the LEDs.
A value of zero disables the automatic display of the tag's status. This is highly
recommended as the LEDs are the main factor in determining battery life. The
status button can be pressed at any time to force a status display.
Values between 1 and 255 (1 sec to 4 mins, 15 secs) are also allowed.
Start Settings:
If you wish to start logging at a specified date and time (Alarm Clock mode)
select the Start Logging At radio button and then either manually entering the
date and time or click the drop down calendar to select the date.
If you would rather start logging a specified number of seconds after the START
button is pressed on the tag (Delay mode), select the Start Logging radio button
and enter a number of seconds for the delay.
Stop Settings:
You can choose to have the tag stop logging a specified number of seconds after
logging starts or after a specified number of samples have been logged. A
maximum of 10,000 samples can be logged in one session.
Alarms:
Enter a high threshold temperature value and a low temperature threshold value
between –273 and 125°C. If these temperature limits are exceeded while the tag
is logging, this will cause the alarm LED to be turned on during status displays.
The alarm feature can be disabled by leaving the fields blank.
Only "logged" temperature measurements are compared
against this limit. That is, if a particularly long sample interval
is selected (say 9 hours), it is possible that the temperature
level may exceed this limit and return below it without being
detected.
Tag Configuration/Operation
5
5-4
NOTE:
NOTE:
Temperatures before the tag starts collecting data or after it
stops collecting data are ignored.
After you have entered all of you configuration settings, press the Update button
to upload the settings to the tag. If the settings are successfully uploaded the
software will automatically switch to the Information tab again and display the
current status of the tag.
Tag Profiles
Tag configuration settings can be saved as a Tag Profile File (.omp) by clicking
Save Profile under the File menu. This frees the user from having to manually
enter the same settings repeatedly if programming many tags with different
configurations. To change settings simply click Load Profile under the file menu
and select the appropriate profile file.
5.3 Logging Data
If your tag is configured for Alarm Clock mode no further user action is
required. Simply place that tag in the location you wish to log temperature. If
you are using the Delay mode for logging you will need to press and hold the
START button for approximately 2 seconds to activate the tag.
It is a good idea to confirm that the tag is in the Active state,
to ensure that logging will commence. Either wait for an LED
status display to occur or press the start button for 1 second
or less to force a status display.
5.4 Retrieving Data
When your tag has completed logging the current session or you no longer wish
to collect data, place the tag on the reader and press the START button twice to
wake the tag and start communication to the reader. Once the tag has been
detected by the reader, press the Download Data button under Operations to
begin retrieval of the logged data. The Status Information Area will display the
progress while downloading data. When the download is complete you will be
able to view the graph or scroll through the table. To save the data in a .csv file
click on the File menu and select save.
Data files can only be saved after downloading with the tag
still on the reader!
