Automatic Data Upload to the Cloud
The auto-upload function enables TR7 series loggers to automatically upload recorded data to the free cloud storage service "T&D WebStorage Service".
The uploaded data is available for viewing from a web browser.
The factory default setting is OFF (no auto-upload). Please follow the steps below to change the setting.
Please read the "T&D WebStorage Service" License Agreement carefully before making settings. Making Auto-upload Settings indicates your acceptance of this

Troubleshooting Tips
If measurements are not displayed:
Check the screen of the logger and make sure is ON; If not, press-and-hold
<REC/STOP> to start recording. See “Recording Interval Setting 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
recording occurs and the new data is uploaded.
If you lose your registration code label:
Open the software "TR7 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".
In the Device Settings window click the [Settings] button to open the settings box.
Make the necessary changes and click [Send Settings].
The setting changes will not be actually applied until communication occurs be-
tween the logger and "T&D WebStorage Service". By pressing the <REC/STOP>
button on the logger, however, settings can be applied immediately.

In this document, TR71A, TR72A and TR72A-S are collectively referred to as
the “TR7A Series” or simply as the “device” or “logger” .
How to Use
There are mainly two ways to set up the device and manage the recorded data as
follows.
By using wireless LAN, the logger automatically uploads recorded data to the cloud
storage. It enables the viewing of uploaded data and the changing of settings on your
PC, smartphone and tablet.
Via Cloud: Automatic Data Upload
Make settings and download data by using the USB connection and PC software.
• If you are using the TR71A for vaccine storage and management, please follow this
method.

For the Users of TRA
The TR71A has a “Vaccine Mode” setting that is suitable for such as vaccine storage and monitoring, which require strict temperature management. When
this mode is enabled, the following features are available:
• Warning Judgement Time : 0 sec. (immediate judgement)
• Auto Reset Max/Min Values
Monitor and record maximum and minimum temperatures for the day.
• CSV File Created upon Data Download
Manage reports on the daily maximum and minimum temperatures and total time out of range.
To use the TRA for vaccine management, please read the reverse side of
this document carefully, and make settings in “Vaccine Mode” using the
"TR for Windows" software.
* The button operations (such as recording interval, auto-upload interval, and wireless
LAN settings) can also be con󽗉gured with this software.

What is the WPS?
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a feature that makes it easy to connect wire-
less LAN devices (such as smartphone, PC, TR7A, etc.) to a wireless router.
Normally, when connecting a wireless LAN device to the network, you need to
set the name (SSID) and password (encryption key) of the router manually.
However, if your device and router support WPS, you can complete the
wireless network setting with just a push of a button.
Button name of the WPS may di󽗈 er depending on the router.
Sensors
Optional Sensors
Temperature Sensor suitable for Vaccine Management
When using the TR71A for vaccine management, we recommend the optional
sensor TR-1106.
We off er a wide range of Temperature and Temperature-Humidity sensors,
sensor extension cables, AC adaptors, etc. For details see information on
T&D’s Product Page or Optional Products Catalog. the Optional Products
information on the Product Page.
tandd.com/catalog/fi les/op_others-eng.pdf
External Power Supply
It is possible to use USB bus power and AC adaptor (AD-05A2 or AD-05C2: sold
separately) as a power source. When using an external power supply, install-
ing 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 logger itself generates heat and the internal sensor
of the TR71A will report a higher temperature than actual; we recommend using
an external temperature sensor. Also, when an external sensor is used near the
logger, 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 provided
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.

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).
