Warning Settings

 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. TR7A2/A 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].

Tap [Warning Settings], change the necessary settings, and then tap [Apply] to apply the changes.

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.
Select the judgment time*1 from 9 choices (30 seconds, 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 minutes, and 1 hour).

  • The limit value is not included in the warning range.
  • If the condition recovered within the judgment time, it is not regarded as a warning.
  • With the TR7A2/A, the [ALM] icon flashes on the LCD during a warning condition. (See: [Clear ALM Display])
  • For TR71A2/71A, TR-71nw/71wb/71wf, the internal sensor*2 of Ch1 allows measurement to continue even if the external sensor is disconnected from Ch1 (not causing a warning). However, in case of sensor fault due to a broken wire, etc., it does not switch to the internal sensor and is regarded as a sensor warning.

*1: For models compatible with Vaccine Mode, the judgment time will be set to 0 second automatically when the Measurement Mode is Vaccine. To quickly detect the out-of-limit condition and sensor error, set a shorter recording interval. (See: FAQs - [Device / Power / Sensors] - [Q. What is the difference between Normal and Vaccine Mode?])
*2: The measured values of the internal temperature sensor will be affected by operating conditions. (See: FAQs - [Device / Power / Sensors] - [Q. Readings from the internal temperature sensor (or the thermocouple) are incorrect, what may be the problem?])

Battery Warning

A low battery may cause communication errors. When the battery warning mark () appears on the device screen, it is regarded as a warning and notification can be sent.

  • For TR-7nw/wb/wf, continuing to use the unit without changing the batteries could lead to loss of recorded data. For TR7A2/A, recorded data will be retained even if battery power is completely gone.
  • The battery warning mark will blink or light up depending on the model. (See: FAQs - [Device / Power / Sensors] - [Q. What is the battery life for the data loggers?])
  • Update the newest firmware version, when you cannot set up while TR-7nw is connected. For TR-71nw/72nw(-S/-H), the firmware version needs to be 1.11 or higher, and 1.04 or higher for TR-75nw. (See: FAQs - [Device / Power / Sensors] - [Q. How can I check my firmware version and update it when necessary?])
  • The TR-7wf does not have the Battery Warning setting. You can check the battery status by the icon in this app or web browser.

Clock Settings and Data Destination

Using Networks 1, 2, 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

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.
