T&D TR-7wb Series User manual

This function enables TR-7wb/nw series loggers to automatically upload recorded data to "T&D WebStorage Service" where uploaded data is available for viewing and
settings can also be changed.
The following procedure has been written assuming the use of "T&D WebStorage Service" with TR-7wb/nw series loggers. Please read the
"T&D WebStorage Service" License Agreement carefully before making settings. Making Auto-upload Settings indicates your acceptance of this Agreement.
• This procedure requires Internet access via wireless or wired LAN.
• When the storage period in "T&D WebStorage Service" is exceeded, old data will be
deleted. Please refer to "T&D WebStorage Service" License Agreement for the service
details.
https://webstorage-service.com/info/
• If you wish to select a server other than "T&D WebStorage Service" for auto upload of
data, please use "T&D Data Server". (See on the reverse side.)
If you wish to use a static IP address instead of DHCP, make network settings us-
ing software. See reverse side.
Auto-Upload Settings
1.
Press the <INTERVAL> button twice to display the auto-upload interval.
2.
While is displayed, press-and-hold the <INTERVAL> button until the

Auto Upload Interval
3.
Press <INTERVAL> again to select the interval time. Each press changes the
interval as follows:
Auto-upload Intervals ( ): OFF / 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 MIN / 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 24 HOUR
The factory default setting is OFF (no auto-upload).
4.
The interval time will stop ashing and the display will return to the normal
measurement mode, conrming that it is set.
Ref: Auto-Upload Intervals & Corresponding Estimated Battery Life
In general, the shorter the upload interval, the shorter the battery life.

The TR-7wb/nw series data loggers can be used in the following ways.
: TR-71wb, TR-72wb, TR-75wb : TR-71nw, TR-72nw, TR-75nw
By using wireless LAN ( ) and wired LAN ( ), the logger automatically uploads
the recorded data to the cloud. It enables the viewing of uploaded data and the
changing of settings on your PC, smartphone and tablet.

Viewing Recorded Data
In order to view the recorded data on a web browser, it is necessary to register
devices to "T&D WebStorage Service" in advance.
1.
Access "T&D WebStorage Service" from the web browser on your PC or
mobile device.
https://webstorage-service.com
2.
Click [Create Account] to go to the registration page, and follow the direc-
tions to complete the registration. If you already have your User ID, go to
the next step.
3.
Login by entering the registered User ID and Password.
4.
In the [Device Settings] window click [+Device].
5.
In the Add a Device page, enter necessary information* and click [Add].
*The registration code can be found on the supplied Registration Code Label.
6.
After data is sent to "T&D WebStorage Service" either by auto-upload or by
pressing the <REC/STOP> button on the logger, the added device and its
measurements will appear in the [Data View] window.
Troubleshooting Tips
If measurements are not displayed:
Check the screen of the logger and make sure is ON; If not, press <REC/
STOP> to start recording. See "Recording Interval Setting (Common Operation)"
above.
If the display of measurements is not refreshed:
Try making the recording interval shorter. If the recording interval is set to longer
than the upload interval, the same measurement is displayed until the next record-
ing occurs and the new data is uploaded.
If you lose your registration code label:
Open the software "TR-7wb/nw for Windows" and connect your logger via USB to
the computer. The connected logger and its information will appear in the left
boxes of the main window. The registration code can be found here.
If you wish to save recorded data to PC:
Use "T&D Graph" that is available for download from the T&D Website.
See on the reverse side.
Changing Device Settings
It is possible to change device settings by using "T&D WebStorage Service".
Note that the setting changes will not be actually applied until communica-
tion occurs between the logger and "T&D WebStorage Service". By pressing the
<REC/STOP> button on the logger, however, settings can be applied immediately.

Optional Sensors
We oer a wide range of Temperature and Temperature-Humidity sensors,
sensor extension cables, AC adaptors, etc. For details see the Optional
Products information on the Product Page.
tandd.com/product/tr7wbnw_series.html
Thermocouple Sensors (for TR-75wb/75nw)
We do not handle the sale of Thermocouple sensors. Please purchase
separately.
External Power Supply
It is possible to use USB bus power, AC adaptor (AD-05A2 or AD-05C2: sold
separately), or PoE ( only) as a power source. When using an external
power supply, installing batteries will make it possible to continue recording
in the event of a power outage.
Important Notice for Using an External Power Supply
When using external power, the data logger itself generates heat and the internal
sensor of the TR-71wb/71nw will report a higher temperature than actual; we
recommend using an external temperature sensor.
Also, when an external sensor is used near the TR-7wb/nw Series, it may be
aected by the heat from the logger.
T&D WebStorage Service
"T&D WebStorage Service" is a free web-based cloud storage service pro-
vided by T&D Corporation. By uploading recorded data to
"T&D WebStorage Service", it is possible to access your important data from
anyplace in the world at any time you wish.
https://webstorage-service.com
Useful features include automatic transmission of current readings & recorded data, graph dis-
play, settings, etc.
Time Settings
The time dierence setting can be changed via "T&D WebStorage Service",
"TR-7wb/nw for Windows", or "T&D Thermo". The default time dierence is
as follows:
GMT +1:00 (for serial number "No.4XXXXXXX")
GMT -8:00 (for serial number "No.3XXXXXXX")
GMT +0:00 (for all serial numbers)
Software for TR-7wb/nw Series
T&D Graph
"T&D Graph" is a software program which enables the viewing of recorded
data in graph form, whether the data is stored on a local computer or at
"T&D WebStorage Service". Even if the data you wish to view is divided into
multiple les, it is possible to merge them into one graph by specifying the
device name and/or time period. The graph data can be saved as a graph le
(.trg) or a text le (csv).
T&D Data Server
The PC on which "T&D Data Server" has been installed can act as a server
which receives and stores data recorded by TR-7wb/nw Series data loggers to
the user-specied folders. The stored data can be viewed in graph from using
"T&D Graph" or monitored using a web browser. When you wish to have
recorded data automatically uploaded to your server rather than
"T&D WebStorage Service", please use this software.
