LIBERO CH Draft 1000353V04 DOC_Operation Manual LIBERO CE CL CH_EN_v04.docx | Page 10 / 36 4 Device - LIBERO CE CL CH 4.1 Functionality and Modes After configuration, the device measures the temperature using the connected external sensor, stores the measured values and evaluates them with regard to the defined alarm criteria. The display indicates the current mode. In configuration mode, the device can be configured with the help of the free software liberoCONFIG. This is visualized on the display as follows:
or After the device has been configured, the device can be started by pressing the "Start" button for 3 seconds. The start mode is indicated on the display. In addition to starting the device, it can also be reconfigured from the start mode. The device is automatically recognized in liberoCONFIG. Display:
If a temperature-based or time-based delay has been configured, "delay" appears on the display after the device has been started:
- Temperature-based delay: the "delay" will be displayed until the configured temperature threshold has been reached. The device will then automatically switch to the measurement mode (see below).
- Time-based delay: the display shows the remaining time in minutes, before the device will automatically switch to the measurement mode. Draft 1000353V04 DOC_Operation Manual LIBERO CE CL CH_EN_v04.docx | Page 11 / 36 After the delay (if configured) has elapsed, the device switches to measurement mode. Depending on the devices configuration, we can distinguish between the following two types of measurement mode.
- Measurement mode without "Alarming ON/OFF" function: displays the current temperature value
(bottom, if configured), alarm indicator (top right, if configured) and the logging indicator (top left). LIBERO CH alternately shows temperature and humidity value (bottom, if configured), alarm indicator
(top right, if configured) and the logging indicator (top left).
- Measurement mode with "Alarming ON/OFF" function: displays the current temperature value
(bottom, if configured), alarm indicator (top right, if configured), the logging indicator (top left) and the
"Alarming ON" status (top center). This state indicates that the measured values are evaluated according to the alarm criteria. LIBERO CH alternately shows temperature and humidity value (bottom, if configured), alarm indicator (top right, if configured) and the logging indicator (top left) and the
"Alarming ON" status (top center). Users who want the benefit of pausing the alarming (e.g. while refilling the liquid nitrogen or while cleaning the refrigerator), can do so by pressing the "Alarming OFF" button on the device. In this case, the display shows the current temperature value (bottom, if configured), alarm indicator (top right, if configured), logging indicator (top left) and the "Alarming OFF" status (top center). LIBERO CH also shows humidity value by pressing any button (bottom, if configured). Alternating every 2 seconds, the display informs the user that the alarming can be reactivated:
Draft 1000353V04 DOC_Operation Manual LIBERO CE CL CH_EN_v04.docx | Page 12 / 36 From the measuring mode, without configured "Alarming ON/OFF" function or from the measuring mode with status "Alarming OFF," the device can be stopped by pressing the "Stop" button for 3 seconds. In stop mode there can be two different display states as seen below. Immediately after stopping,
"Make PDF" appears. This will only disappear after the PDF report has been created by plugging the device into a USB port. This ensures that the user does not forget to read out the device. After the device has been read out, "Stop" appears on the display. At this point the device can either be started again (with the existing configuration) or reconfigured.

- Windows 7, 8 or 10
- CPU 1.5GHz
- Memory: 512 MB RAM
- Hard disk: 100 MB
- Monitor resolution: 800 x 600 Pixel Details regarding configuration of LIBERO Cx can be found in the corresponding manual
(https://shop.elpro.com/daten/img/Documents/Operation%20Manuals/LIBERO/OM_LIBEROC_EN_web. pdf). In the following only differences or additional configuration options for LIBERO CE CL CH are described. Draft 1000353V04 DOC_Operation Manual LIBERO CE CL CH_EN_v04.docx | Page 24 / 36 Logging Loop was added as an additional logging mode, as LIBERO CE is a multi-use device. NOTE: If the memory of the logger is full, newly measured values will continuously overwrite the oldest values. Draft 1000353V04 DOC_Operation Manual LIBERO CE CL CH_EN_v04.docx | Page 25 / 36 Alarm Conditions In the section "Alarm Mode" the possibility to select the inspection range has been added. The following options are available:
All data: all recorded values are taken into consideration when assessing the alarm status
(based on the configured alarm conditions) Last alarming ON period only: only the measured values between the last pressing of the
"Alarming ON" button and the last pressing of the "Alarming OFF" button on the device are considered in the assessment. If the "Alarming ON" button was pressed last, i.e. the alarming is still active, all measured values since that time are taken into account. All alarming ON periods cumulative: all measured values recorded in phases with activated alarming are considered in the assessment. Alarming ON/OFF Only if one of the last two options are selected, the alarming can be activated (Alarming ON) or deactivated (Alarming OFF) during measurement mode. Draft 1000353V04 DOC_Operation Manual LIBERO CE CL CH_EN_v04.docx | Page 26 / 36 Stop Options There are four options for LIBERO CE to stop data recording:
Stop when creating PDF report Stop by long-pressing (> 3 seconds) the Stop button Stop when the PDF is generated and both buttons on the device are pressed at the same time
(so stopping is basically possible, but the logger will hardly ever be stopped accidentally) Stop mode disabled (CAUTION: This turns LIBERO CE into a 3-year single-use device, as it cannot be stopped and therefore the configuration cannot be changed!)
