Compatible App
The TC489 is an LED notification indicator that uses NFC technology to connect with our eTimestrip app for PDF report downloading. Scanning the TC489 with an NFC enabled smartphone allows you to access data with the app.
Compared to data loggers
Temperature sensitive data loggers are expensive equipment. They
typically need software and training to use. Data loggers are for when
you need continuous up to minute data along the cold chain. Electronic Timestrip Complete TC489 offers you the option of a download of auditable data. However,
unlike some data loggers you only need a smart phone.
