 Note
  • In order to receive warning notifications, the device needs to be registered to your T&D WebStorage Service account and configured with automatic data uploading. Email and push notifications will be sent to the email address used at user registration and additional addresses registered under the [Account] menu of T&D WebStorage Service. Warning status and history can also be checked using the T&D Thermo app. (For details, see [Reading the Display] - [Warnings])
  • An email notification will be sent to the specified addresses when a warning occurs and recovers. TR7A will also send a notification when the warning is lifted. (Refer to [TR7 Series Warning Transmission Specifications])
  • When a warning is detected while the T&D Thermo home screen (list display) is open, you will see [Warning] on the device list. It is also possible to set your mobile device's alarm sound and/or vibration whenever a warning notification is received. To make the settings, go to the menu () (in the upper left corner of the home screen) - [App Settings] - [Warning Notification].
Sensor Warning / Upper Warning / Lower Warning

These parameters can be set for each channel. Sensor Warning will send a notification if a sensor becomes disconnected or fails. Upper Warning and Lower Warning will send a notification if the set limit is exceeded.
Judgment Time is the period that the condition remains active before a warning is generated.

  • The limit value is not included in the warning range.
  • If the condition recovers within the judgment time, it is not regarded as a warning.
  • With the TR7A, the [ALM] icon flashes on the LCD during a warning condition and disappears upon recovery from warning status. (For the TR71A/75A in Vaccine Mode, however, the [ALM] icon will remain on until manually cleared. Refer to [Clear ALM Display] - [Loggers in Vaccine Mode] for details.)
  • For the TR71A/75A in Vaccine Mode, the Judgment Time setting is not available. The warning occurrence is judged based on the device's recording interval. To quickly detect the out-of-limit condition and sensor error, set a shorter recording interval.
  • For the TR71A/71wb/71nw/71wf, the internal sensor of Ch1 allows measurement to continue even if a sensor fault occurs on the external sensor connected to Ch1. Note, however, that the internal sensor will be affected by the device's self-heating. (For details, see FAQs - [Device / Power / Sensors] - [Q.Readings from the internal temperature sensor (or the thermocouple) are incorrect, what may be the problem?])
Battery Warning

Enable when you wish to receive a notification when the battery level is low. (TR-7wf is not supported)

  • A low battery may cause communication errors.
  • TR7A loggers: Recorded data will be retained even if battery power is completely gone. [ALM] will not appear on the LCD.
  • TR-7wb/nw/wf: Continuing to use the unit without changing the batteries could lead to loss of recorded data. If you don't enable Battery Warning, make sure to change the batteries as soon as possible when you see the battery warning mark () on the LCD.
  • Battery Warning is not available for the TR-71nw/72nw (with firmware Ver 1.11 or earlier), and TR-75nw (with firmware Ver 1.04 or earlier).

Add by WPS

If you are using a WPS-enabled wireless LAN access point, it is possible to connect by pressing buttons on both the logger and the access point.

  • Press down simultaneously on the PWR and DISPLAY buttons until appears in the logger display; this shows that the wireless LAN access point is in WPS authentication mode.
  • The availability of WPS and operations vary depending upon manufacturer and model of the access point being used. Please see the manual that came with the product being used.
Add from History

Select the desired access point from the archived list of previously used access points.

  • This is especially useful for adding multiple loggers to the same network and can be used for the second and all subsequent loggers.
Test

You can check the network connection status when you change the connection destination or when communication errors occur frequently.

Using Networks 1-3

Auto-upload Settings can be made for up to three wireless LAN connections (access points). The following describes how the auto-upload function will work in a situation where settings have been made for all three access points.

  1. First, the logger will attempt to connect to Network (SSID) 1. If the connection was successful, data will be uploaded without trying to connect to Networks 2 or 3.

  2. If the logger was unable to connect to Network 1, it will try connecting to Network (SSID) 2. If successful data will be auto-uploaded without attempting to connect to Network 3.

  3. If unable to connect to Network 2, the logger will try to connect to Network (SSID) 3. If the connection is successful data will be automatically uploaded, but if the connection was unsuccessful a communication error will be returned.

Example of Multiple Access Point Usage
 IMPORTANT

Unsent recorded data will be gathered and sent together at the next scheduled auto-upload. However, if while recording in Endless mode, the logging capacity is exceeded by the next transmission, overwritten old data cannot be sent. This means data stored on the T&D WebStorage Service has a missing data.

Network Connection Status

You can check the network connection status by opening [Network Settings]. (Available via Bluetooth or WLAN Direct comm)
If there is an connection error, check the following depending on the error message.

Example of Error Display

Communication error between device and access point:

  • Try adjusting the placement and distance of the logger to the access point.
  • Make sure that all wireless LAN access point settings (SSID, Authentication method, Password, etc...) have been made correctly.

Communication error between access point and Internet:

  • Check to make sure that an Internet connection can be established on the network you are using.
    See if an Internet connection is possible using a PC or some other device that is connected to the same wireless LAN access point, hub, or router. See also, if the Internet connection is restricted by a firewall.

For details, see FAQs - [Functions] - [I can't view the recorded data that was auto-uploaded to T&D WebStorage Service, what should I do?]
