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.
                                                  NOTE:


                      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.


                                                  NOTE:


                      Only one tag at a time may be presented to the reader.

 5    Tag Configuration/Operation




                   Tag State:
                   When powered, the tag is in one of 5 states:
                   ERASED: All data samples on the tag have been deleted.
                           (The previous configuration will still be available)
                   The tag must be in the STOPPED state to erase it.
                   Status Display: one blink


                   CONFIGURED: A new configuration is loaded on the tag and it waiting for a
                   button press to enter the ACTIVATED state.
                   The tag must be in the ERASED state to configure it.
                   Status Display: two blinks


                   ACTIVATED: The tag is waiting for a certain amount of time to pass before
                   commencing data logging.
                   Status Display: three blinks


                   LOGGING: The tag is logging data.
                   Status Display: three blinks


                   STOPPED: The tag has data but is no longer logging because it has finished
                   logging or was commanded to stop logging.
                   Status Display: four blinks
                                                           NOTE:


                              Even though the ACTIVATED and LOGGING states are
                              distinct, they have the same number of blinks because no
                              more intervention is required by the user.



                   Version:
                   This indicates the version of firmware on the tag.
                   Number of Records:
                   The number of temperature readings currently logged on the tag.
                   Real Time Clock:
                   This is the current value of the real time clock on the tag. If the tag is in the
                   STOPPED or ERASED states this will indicate “NO INFORMATION”.

 5    Tag Configuration/Operation




                   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)
                                                            NOTE:


                             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.
                                                            NOTE:


                             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




                                                  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.
                                                  NOTE:


                   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.
                                                  NOTE:


                   Data files can only be saved after downloading with the tag
                   still on the reader!

                                                                                              5-5

Section 10 – Approvals, Regulatory Compliance & Patent Notice
             10.1 FCC (Domestic Use: USA & Canada)
             (USA) FCC ID: WR3-OM80RD1 (CANADA) IC #8205A-OM80RD1
             This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the
             following two conditions:
             1.) This device may not cause harmful interference.
             2.) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
             may cause undesired operation.
             To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, a
             separation distance of 20 cm or more should be maintained between the antenna
             of this device and persons during device operation. To ensure compliance,
             operations at closer than this distance is not recommended. The antenna used for
             this transmitter must not be co-located in conjunction with any other antenna or
             transmitter.
             Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Omega Engineering, Inc.
             could void user’s authority to operate this equipment.
                                                   NOTE:


                     This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
                     limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
                     Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
                     against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in
                     a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and
                     can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
                     used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
                     harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
                     equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
                     interference in which case the user will be required to correct the
                     interference at his own expense.
