    What is TR-7W ? Outline Thermo Recorders TR-71W / 72W are a new type of temperature and humidity data logger equipped with a built-in function that enables connection to and use over the Internet or other network such as a LAN network. The downloading of recorded data, the monitoring of current readings and the sending of warning mails can all be done easily over the Internet or LAN network.
  • Page 11: Basic Functions

    Temperature Range : 60 ~ 155 °C (TR-71W) The standard temperature sensor that comes with TR-71W has a range of 40 ~ 110°C. With the optional sensor a wider range of 60 ~ 155°C can be measured and recorded. Please see and purchase our optional sensors to meet your specific needs.

  • Page 26: Connecting The Sensors

    Connecting the Sensors TR-71W To ensure a proper connection make sure that the plug is completely inserted. TR-72W When using the temperature/humidity sensor in environments where the temperature is 0 to 15 and humidity under 30 RH, there may occur changes in measurement readings. This is not a malfunction.
  • Page 27 Handling the Temperature / Humidity Sensor The temperature/humidity sensor should probably be changed after a period of about one year. After removing the sensor from its package, please change the temperature/humidity sensor after one year’s usage. During use the temperature/humidity sensor will accumulate impurities (dirt) on the surface of the sensor causing the sensor's accuracy and sensitivity to decrease.

    Adjustment Function By entering the adjustment values beforehand, it is possible to view and record the adjusted measurement values. There are two methods of adjustment: adjusting by one point or adjusting by two points. Adjustment for differences will be based upon the following simple equation Y=aX+b. (X equals the measured value and Y equals the value after adjustment.) NOTE: - Adjustment settings cannot be made while a recording is in session.
  • Page 75 The adjustment equation will be calculated from two points: the slope (a) and the offset (b). For example, the TR-71W reads 0°C when the standard thermometer reads 0.4°C ,and reads 10 °C when the standard says the true measurement is 10.2°C. In this case the slope (a) is 10.2-0.4 /10-0 = 0.98.
