TempChrome E-10: Disposable USB Temperature Data Logger with PDF Report for Food and Medicine

The **TempChrome E-10** is a disposable USB temperature data logger for food and medicine in storage and transport: refrigerated bags, reefer trucks and shipping containers. It records from -30°C to +70°C, holds up to 32,000 readings, and when the trip ends you plug it into any computer's USB port and it opens a PDF report. There is no software to install and no reader to buy. This guide covers the specs, how to use it, where it fits, and how it compares with the other TempChrome loggers.

TempChrome E-10 specifications

These figures come from the manufacturer's E-10 datasheet:

• **Measuring range:** -30°C to +70°C (-22°F to +158°F), same as the storage range
• **Accuracy:** ±0.5°C from -20°C to +40°C, ±1°C outside that band
• **Sensor:** built-in NTC sensor, no external probe
• **Memory:** up to 32,000 readings
• **Recording periods:** 6, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120 or 180 days, customisable at the factory
• **Report:** automatic PDF data report over USB 2.0
• **Power:** built-in CR2450 wide-temperature lithium battery, 2 years storage and use at normal temperature
• **Protection:** IP67 waterproof
• **Size and weight:** 93 × 58 × 8 mm, about 20 g
• **Traceability:** barcode label on every unit

The start delay, log interval, high and low alarm limits and alarm delay are set at the factory and can be customised to your lane before the loggers ship. Ask us for the full datasheet on the [TempChrome E-10 product page](https://royalkana.com/product/tempchrome-e10).

How the E-10 works in four steps

• **Start:** hold the button for 5 seconds. The green light flashes 5 times and recording begins after the start delay.
• **Tag the shipment:** tear off the barcode label and attach it to your shipping paperwork so the record matches the consignment.
• **Stop:** at destination, hold the button for 5 seconds. The red light flashes 5 times.
• **Read the report:** tear open the waterproof bag, plug the E-10 into a computer, and the PDF report opens with the temperature graph and alarm summary.

A short press at any time shows the status on the red and green lights, so the receiver can see at the dock whether an alarm was triggered before the report is opened.

Alarm settings that match your product

The E-10 supports an upper and a lower temperature limit. Each alarm can be set as a **single** type, which times one continuous excursion, or a **cumulative** type, which adds up every minute spent out of range across the trip. An alarm delay stops a short door opening from triggering a false alarm.

For a +2°C to +8°C medicine lane, a common setup is a high alarm above +8°C and a low alarm below +2°C. For chilled food, the limits follow your HACCP plan. For guidance on choosing limits, read [how to choose a temperature data logger for 2–8°C pharma](https://royalkana.com/blog/how-to-choose-temperature-data-logger-2-8c-pharma) and [HACCP temperature monitoring in the GCC](https://royalkana.com/blog/haccp-temperature-monitoring-food-safety-gcc).

Where the TempChrome E-10 fits

• **Refrigerated trucks** on UAE and GCC distribution routes
• **Reefer containers** on sea freight from Jebel Ali
• **Cool bags and insulated boxes** for pharmacy and clinic deliveries
• **Fresh and frozen food** where the receiver wants a simple PDF as proof of temperature
• **High-volume lanes** where a single-use logger in every shipment costs less than recovering reusable devices

Because the E-10 is single use, there is nothing to return. The receiver keeps the device and the PDF, and the shipper gets a copy by email.

TempChrome E-10 vs other TempChrome loggers

• **[TempChrome E-10](https://royalkana.com/product/tempchrome-e10):** no display, longest recording periods (up to 180 days on the standard settings), PDF report. Choose it for long or high-volume lanes where a status light is enough.
• **[TempChrome C1](https://royalkana.com/product/tempchrome-c1):** ultra-compact (67 × 27 × 5 mm, 11 g), up to 90 days and 30,000 readings, PDF/CSV report. Choose it when space in the pack is tight.
• **[TempChrome 5T](https://royalkana.com/product/tempchrome-5t):** LCD and LED display with max, min and average readings, up to 120 days and 65,000 readings. Choose it when the receiver must read the temperature on the spot.
• **[TempChrome Elite T](https://royalkana.com/product/tempchrome-elite-t):** single use with an LCD display and long device life.

All four record -30°C to +70°C. For dry ice below -30°C, use the [TempChrome Elite DI](https://royalkana.com/product/tempchrome-elite-di), rated down to -90°C. See the full range in our [data logger category](https://royalkana.com/category/data-logger).

E-10 or TempTale® Ultra?

If your quality team needs a validated monitor with a NIST-traceable calibration certificate and MKT alarms, look at the [TempTale® Ultra Fit](https://royalkana.com/product/temptale-ultra-fit) or the [TempTale® Ultra Single Use](https://royalkana.com/product/temptale-ultra-single-use). If you need a cost-effective PDF logger for food and medicine lanes, the E-10 does the job. Our side-by-side guide [TempTale® vs TempChrome](https://royalkana.com/blog/temptale-vs-tempchrome-which-data-logger) and the article on [single-use vs multi-use data loggers](https://royalkana.com/blog/single-use-vs-multi-use-temperature-data-loggers-pharma-export-dubai) explain the trade-offs.

Tips before you ship

• Store unused E-10 loggers at room temperature before starting them, as the datasheet recommends
• Start the logger and let the start delay pass before it goes into the cold load
• Place it with the product, not against the wall of the truck or the cooling unit
• Note the barcode number on the delivery note so the report matches the shipment
