Learn what a data logger is, how it works, types, accuracy, and Australian compliance uses (cold chain, HACCP, GMP). Practical picks, FAQs, and examples. < Back What Is a Data Logger and How Does It Work? A data logger is a small, battery-powered device that automatically samples one or more sensors at set intervals and stores timestamped readings, then makes them available via USB, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or the cloud. Core parts are sensor(s), signal conditioning, ADC, microcontroller, memory, power and communications. In Australia, they’re used for vaccine cold chain ( Strive for 5 ), HACCP food safety, labs, logistics and HVAC to create audit-ready records. A data logger ( also called a data recorder or DDL ) is a portable instrument designed for unattended monitoring. It wakes up on a schedule, records, and sleeps to save battery. Unlike SCADA/DAQ systems ( always-on, networked, operator-driven ), loggers are stand-alone and optimised for long-term field use. How a Data Logger Works Signal path: Sensor, conditioning, ADC, microcontroller, timestamped memory, local/remote download. Key settings: sampling interval, start/stop, alarm thresholds, units, logging mode ( wrap/stop ). Data access: USB/BLE apps for quick offloads; Wi-Fi/LTE/cloud for live dashboards and alerts. Common Types By Parameter Temperature / Humidity / Temp-Humidity ( fridges, rooms, transport ) Voltage/Current/Power ( energy checks, PQ events ) CO₂/Pressure/Light ( IAQ, packaging, photometrics ) Shock/Vibration ( transport validation ) By Form Factor USB “stick”: cheapest, plug-in downloads Bluetooth: phone app, on-site checks Cloud-connected: Wi-Fi/LTE, alerts & dashboards Multi-channel bench/industrial: thermocouples/RTDs, mapping studies, wide ranges When to Choose Which (quick picks) Vaccine fridge: buffered temp probe + 5-min logging + alarms Food coolroom: multiple TH loggers at warm spots for HACCP Pharma warehouse: multi-point mapping then continuous monitoring Core Specs to Compare Accuracy vs resolution: pick accuracy aligned to your tolerance ( e.g., vaccine work needs tight accuracy and verifiable calibration ). Sensor & range: thermistor/RTD ( high accuracy ), thermocouple ( wide range ); confirm probe interchangeability. Sampling & memory: ensure interval suits the risk ( 5 to 15 min is common for fridges ). Power: replaceable vs rechargeable; battery life at chosen interval. Ingress protection ( IP ) & operating temp: match environment. Alarms: local buzzers/LEDs plus SMS/email for after-hours. Calibration & certificates: request NATA-endorsed certificates when records must be SI-traceable for audits. Australian Use Cases & Standards Vaccines & healthcare ( Strive for 5 ): keep +2 °C to +8 °C ( aim +5 °C ), use a data logger or automated monitoring, and download/review data to assess any breach. Victorian guidance specifies 5-minute intervals for vaccine fridges and weekly review of automated systems. Food & beverage ( HACCP ): continuous logging provides evidence at CCPs. FSANZ notes ~4.7 million cases of foodborne illness/year in Australia, with ~47,900 hospitalisations and 38 deaths, underlining the value of reliable records. Pharma logistics (GDP) & mapping: temperature mapping of storage areas and warehouses is expected under WHO Annex 9-aligned programs adopted in Australian practice; local guidance highlights mapping and ongoing monitoring to verify hot/cold zones before placing permanent sensors. Getting Reliable Data (How-To) Probe placement Put probes at centre, corners, near doors/warm spots, and at multiple heights ( warehouse ). Avoid direct contact with walls, coils, or fans; allow equilibration after moving sensors. Configure Sampling: start at 5 to 15 min for fridges; faster for unstable environments. Alarms: set pre-alarm cushions ( e.g., ±0.5 °C from limits ) and escalation contacts. Time sync: align to local time/AEDT; check daylight-saving rollover. Verify Quick ice-point/boiling-point checks where appropriate; schedule accredited calibration. For new fridges/rooms, run a 24 to 72 h mapping with multiple loggers ( empty and operational, seasonally if possible ). World Health Organization Maintenance & Calibration Sensors drift with time, shock and environment. Regulated sites commonly use a risk-based 6 to 12 month cadence; lower-risk applications may extend farther with evidence. Choose NATA-accredited (I SO/IEC 17025 ) labs reporting uncertainty and traceability per NATA’s Metrological Traceability Policy this is what auditors recognise across Australia ( via ILAC ). NATA+ CISCAL note: Our NATA-accredited capability ( Accreditation No. 411, Site 404 ) includes multi-channel thermocouple data recorders and digital temperature systems. See the CTA below.

Learn how sound meter calibration ensures compliance, safety, and reliable operation in Australian industries. < Back Sound Meter Basics: What You Should Know What is a Sound Meter? A sound ( noise ) level meter measures sound pressure level in decibels ( dB ) using frequency weightings ( A/C/Z ) and time weightings ( Fast/Slow). It’s used for workplace health and safety checks , environmental licence compliance and lab work. In Australia, the exposure standards are LAeq,8h 85 dB(A) and LC,peak 140 dB(C). How a Sound Meter Works A condenser microphone converts air pressure into voltage, a pre-amplifier and analogue-to-digital converter ( ADC) digitise it, and onboard DSP computes descriptors like LAeq, LAFmax, and statistical levels ( LAF10/LAF90 ). Many meters add octave/third-octave analysis and data logging. Meters are built to Class 1 (higher precision) or Class 2 tolerances; Class 1 is the usual choice for compliance and environmental monitoring in NSW. Explore how sound meters ensure compliance Australian Standards & Regulatory Context Work health & safety exposure standards ( WHS ): LAeq,8h 85 dB(A) and LC,peak 140 dB(C). The Code shows dose logic ( e.g., 88 dB(A) for 4 h ≈ 85 dB(A) for 8 h ). Environmental compliance ( NSW ): NSW EPA Approved Methods ( 2022 ) require a Class 1 sound level meter conforming to AS/NZS IEC 61672.1:2019. The acoustic calibrator must comply with IEC 60942:2017 and be the same class as the meter. Policy framework: The Noise Policy for Industry ( 2017 ) is the key guideline for industrial assessments in NSW. Class 1 vs Class 2: Which Do You Need? Class 1: tighter tolerance; required for NSW EPA licence/consent compliance and most formal environmental surveys. Class 2: suitable for internal screening or preliminary OH&S checks; not acceptable for NSW EPA compliance submissions. Core Measurements & Metrics LAeq,T – time-averaged A-weighted level over period T . LAFmax – highest A-weighted level with Fast time weighting. LAF90 / LAF10 – A-weighted levels exceeded for 90%/10% of T ( background vs. “loud” events ). Where a licence doesn’t specify descriptors, the Approved Methods require at least LAeq,T, LAFmax, LAF90, LAF10 with 15-minute Fast as the default for statistical descriptors. Quick lab example: If a packaging line returns LAeq,15min 82 dB(A), LAF90 78 dB(A) and LAFmax 93 dB(A), you’re seeing steady background around 78 dB(A) with intermittent peaks from events like capping Calibration & Field Checks ( What Good Practice Looks Like ) Field checks: Perform an acoustic calibrator check immediately before and after measurements. If the post-check differs by > 1.0 dB from the pre-check, disregard the intervening measurements and repeat. Class-matched calibrator: Use a calibrator that meets IEC 60942:2017 and is the same class as your meter ( Class 1 with Class 1 ). Traceable lab calibration: The reference sound source ( and other relevant instrumentation ) must be calibrated by a NATA-accredited facility at least once every two years for environmental work. Keep certificates. Metrological traceability: Follow NATA’s Metrological Traceability Policy under ISO/IEC 17025; certificates should state uncertainty and traceability. Choosing a Sound Meter for Australian Use Checklist Class: Class 1 ( AS/NZS IEC 61672.1:2019 ) for EPA/consent/licence work. Frequency & dynamic range: Cover your sources ( low-frequency plant noise to impulsive peaks ). Logging & descriptors: LAeq, LAFmax, LAF10/90; 1/3-octave option for tones/low-frequency checks. Accessories: Class-matched IEC 60942:2017 calibrator, large windshield, tripod, weather kit, GPS/time-sync, and reporting software aligned to Approved Methods . Compliance note: If measuring for NSW EPA licence compliance, confirm your meter and calibrator match the standard editions explicitly named in the Approved Method s . Safety & Compliance Examples for Labs and Manufacturing WHS exposure planning: The exposure standards are LAeq,8h 85 dB(A) and LC,peak 140 dB(C). Every +3 dB roughly halves allowable time (e.g., ~88 dB(A) for 4 h ≈ 85 dB(A) for 8 h). Use this for shift design and hearing protection programs. Typical cases: Cleanrooms/biotech filling: mid-70s to low-80s dB(A) → verify LAeq against task duration; ensure staff rotation if close to 85 dB(A). Tablet presses: mid-80s to low-90s dB(A) at operator position → check daily patterns; confirm hearing protection class under AS/NZS 1269 program guidance referenced by the WHS Code. Beverage bottling halls: mid-90s dB(A) with impulsive peaks → measure LC,peak and verify it stays < 140 dB(C). When to Call an Accredited Cal Lab ( And What You’ll Get ) Use a NATA-accredited ( ISO/IEC 17025 ) facility for periodic instrument calibration ( at least every two years for environmental-noise reference sources/instrumentation, or more often if your QMS requires ). Expect a certificate with measurement uncertainty, traceability, equipment IDs, and results that regulators recognise. CISCAL is NATA-accredited ( No. 411 ) with national coverage ( NSW, VIC, QLD ).

Discover why a humidity checker is essential for comfort, health, and home protection—get accurate moisture control insights today! < Back Why You Need a Humidity Checker Today Humidity is invisible, yet it has a powerful effect on your comfort, health, and even the condition of your home. Too much moisture in the air encourages mould growth, triggers allergies, and damages furniture. Too little humidity leads to dry skin, irritated sinuses, and uncomfortable living conditions. The easiest way to stay in control? A humidity checker. Whether you call it a hygrometer, humidity sensor, or indoor comfort monitor, it gives you accurate readings so you can make quick adjustments and protect your home. What is a humidity checker? A humidity checker is a simple device that measures the relative humidity (RH) inside your home. It’s also known as a hygrometer or humidity sensor. Two main types are available: Analog hygrometers – traditional dial-style tools that give a rough estimate. Digital hygrometers – modern versions with LCD displays, often offering more accuracy, memory, or smartphone connectivity. By reading RH as a percentage, they help you see when your indoor environment is too dry, too damp, or just right. Why monitoring humidity matters Monitoring indoor humidity isn’t just about comfort, it's about wellbeing and protecting your home. Health: High humidity above 55 to 60% RH encourages mould, dust mites, and allergens. Low humidity below 30% RH dries out skin, eyes, and sinuses, and may worsen respiratory issues. Comfort: Humidity affects how warm or cool a room feels. Dry air can make winter feel colder, while damp air makes summer heat harder to tolerate. Home Protection: Excess humidity can warp wooden floors, damage furniture, and cause paint to peel. Dry air can crack wood and shrink caulking. The EPA recommends keeping indoor humidity between 30–50% RH for best comfort and safety. How a humidity checker works Modern humidity checkers use different types of sensors to convert moisture levels into readings: Capacitive sensors – measure changes in electrical capacity as air moisture changes. Resistive sensors – detect changes in electrical resistance caused by humidity. Thermal sensors – calculate absolute humidity by comparing temperature differences. Most digital hygrometers combine these technologies for fast, accurate readings, often within ±2 to 3% RH accuracy. Choosing the right humidity checker When buying a humidity checker, keep these factors in mind: Accuracy: High quality models offer accuracy of ±2 to 3% RH. Cheaper devices may only give ±5% RH, which can make a big difference. Placement: For best results, place your checker at mid-room height, away from direct sunlight, heaters, vents, or corners that may skew readings. Features: Look for clear digital displays, comfort icons (showing dry/normal/humid ranges), memory or logging functions, smartphone connectivity, and calibration options. Simple ways to check indoor humidity The best way is to use a hygrometer. But if you don’t have one yet, here are a few quick (though less accurate) methods: Ice cube test: Place a glass of water with ice cubes in a room for a few minutes. If condensation forms on the outside, humidity may be high. If there’s no condensation, the air may be too dry. Wet and dry bulb test: A more old-fashioned but useful way to measure relative humidity using two thermometers, one wrapped in a wet cloth. Phone apps: While convenient, most only pull data from outdoor weather services, not your actual indoor conditions. What to do with the results Once you know your home’s humidity levels, here’s how to respond: If humidity is too high: Run exhaust fans or improve ventilation. Use a dehumidifier. Fix leaks and reduce moisture sources like drying clothes indoors. If humidity is too low: Run a humidifier. Add houseplants, which naturally release moisture. Place bowls of water near heating sources for gentle evaporation. The sweet spot is 30 to 50% RH, balancing comfort, health, and home protection. Benefits at a glance A humidity checker can improve life at home in many ways: Better health: fewer respiratory issues, reduced risk of mould. Increased comfort: stable indoor air that feels warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Stronger home integrity: protection for wood, furniture, and paintwork. Greater energy efficiency: optimised HVAC use by avoiding unnecessary heating or cooling. Why you need one today Humidity is silent and invisible, but its effects are real. A simple, affordable humidity checker gives you the power to take control. By keeping your home within the recommended 30 to 50% RH range, you can improve your health, feel more comfortable, and protect your home. Ready to take control of your home’s comfort and health?
