I looked online and the instructions from the manufacturer there were much clearer. With that info, it is very easy to use. Once I got it running it did just what I wanted. The refrigerator in our new travel trailer wasn't holding temperatures right. I put this in the refrigerator and let it run for a couple of days. Then I plotted the results (done automatically from the vendor software) and was able to show the RV dealer what was happening. The refrigerator would get cold and stay cold for 6-8 hours, then it would stop cooling for 6-8 hours allowing the inside to get way too warm to keep food safely. It would have been very hard to see what was happening without this recorder. We've had some trouble getting repairs done on our trailer due to the factory refusing warranty repairs, but with the detailed data we gathered with this recorder we're confident the problem will get fixed. Review: Marvelous compact temperature-data logger - I initially purchased two units, an RC5+ and an RC-5+TE. I have since purchased two additional "TE" units. These loggers are intended for use in monitoring shipments of food and other goods that need to be kept cold, so of course a record of the shipping conditions is essential. Check the specs to get an understanding of their outstanding flexibility. My use is in monitoring temperatures in rooms in which the air conditioning or heating may have problems, so I need to be able to monitor fairly rapid temperature changes. If you need to monitor for conditions like this, you should buy the "TE" version which adds an external sensor on the end of a cable about 3 feet long. Nothing magic about that sensor, there is another one like it inside the RC-5+ case and you can choose which to use, but the external one has much less mass than the case so it responds more quickly to temperature changes. It took me a little while on line to find the correct application software to download. For a Windows PC that is ElitechLogWin V6.4.0. There is an understandable user manual included in the app, but it has some omissions I found annoying. Most of those have to do with how to transfer data from the logger into the PC, how to configure the logger, and how to choose stored database files to display. This is like any other competent tool that's new for you, not everything is obvious and there is a learning curve. But the hardware and software work just fine, and the plotting routine (PDF only) is marvelously capable. Not only can you overlay multiple data logs, you can even display (and export!) logs that only partially overlap -- and the software takes care of this offsetting and scaling for you! And you can change the X-axis scaling and location of the viewing window; it's a little clunky in my opinion, but workable and I'm making fewer errors now. If I didn't feel these are marvelously capable and well worth their cost, I wouldn't have bought two more soon after the first two! The only reason it didn't get 5 stars from me is what I consider some obvious omissions in the user manual explanations. Martt Harding ## Features - REUSABLE TEMPERATURE DATA LOGGER.

Martt Harding ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mostly good *by R***H on January 21, 2025* Needs software, which was not included and arduous to get (see seller review). Now that it is working, I mostly like it. I have had other data collecting thermometers. The problem with those other devices is that I had to collect the data too frequently (via Bluetooth connection to my phone), which didn't get it done reliably for a remote location. I often lost data. I chose this one because it can collect much more data. I should be able to collect all the data between infrequent visits to the remote location. The issue here, is that I need to take the thermometer to my PC to upload the data. A version of the app for a phone, would be nice. So, when I check the remote location, I can just download the data to my phone. But, at least I'll be able to get the data (since it saves it long enough on the thermometer). One star off for VERY weak instructions. ## Frequently Bought Together - Elitech RC-5+Digital PDF USB Temperature Data Logger Reusable Recorder Refrigerator Thermometer 32000 Points High Accuracy - Elitech RC-5+ TE Digital PDF USB Temperature Data Logger Reusable Recorder Refrigerator Thermometer 32000 Points High Accuracy (Extra External Sensor) - Elitech Digital Temperature Humidity Data Logger Pharmacy DDL with Calibration Certificate to Auditor, Refrigerator Thermometer Vaccine Fridge Temperature Monitor Max Min Value GSP-6 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/47706388-rc-5-digital-pdf-usb-temperature-data-logger-reusable-recorder](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/47706388-rc-5-digital-pdf-usb-temperature-data-logger-reusable-recorder) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-13*
