Cautions about using the Illuminance UV Sensors
Do not connect the ISA-3151 sensor to any data logger other than those specied by T&D
Corporation.
Use the Unit in an environment within the operational range.
When measuring UV light or other light which may cause damage or injury to your eyes or
skin make sure to use protection such as safety glasses or some type of light-proof shield.
Do not expose the sensor to a strong impact.
Cracks or scratches in the Illuminance sensor and / or in the UV sensor will adversely affect the measurement
accuracy. Also, a broken sensor may result in injury.
This sensor is not waterproof. By all means do not allow it to get wet.
Do not expose to condensation, dampness, corrosive gases or organic solvents. Also, do
not use in areas near re or exposed to excessive heat.
When the Illuminance UV sensor is not being used, please store at room temperature to
prevent condensation.
If the sensor surface gets dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth.
If the sensor surface accumulates impurities (dirt), it will cause a decrease in the sensor’s accuracy and
sensitivity.
If you wish to extend the length of the sensor cable, please purchase and use our optional
sensor extension cable (TR-1C30 / TR-5C10).
Do not cut or process the sensor cables.
Using the "Adjustment Function" in the software supplied with the Base Unit, it is possible to
make desired adjustment settings to a sensor; these settings are saved directly into the
sensor itself.Therefore, when a sensor is replaced, it is necessary to re-make any desired
adjustment settings to be saved into the newly connected sensor.
Cautions about using the Temperature-Humidity Sensors
Do not connect the THA-3001/3151 sensor to any data logger other than those specied by
T&D Corporation.
Use the Unit in an environment within the operational range.
When using the THA-3001/3151 sensor in an environment where the humidity is less than
30%RH, the measurements may sometimes uctuate. This is not abnormal.
If extremely severe temperature changes occur, the humidity measurements may appear
abnormal.
Once the sensor's temperature becomes stable, the measurements will return to normal.
This sensor is not waterproof.
Only use in an environment where there is no condensation or possibility of becoming wet. Do not use in
water or near areas where high-pressure water is owing.
Do not expose to condensation, dampness, corrosive gases, or organic solvents.
When the sensor is not to be used for a long period of time, please store it at normal
temperature and humidity.
During use, the surface of the temperature - humidity sensor will accumulate impurities (dirt) causing a
ecrease in the sensor’s accuracy and sensitivity. If the sensor is being used in an environment where smoke
and dust are in abundance, periodic calibration may be required.
Do not use this sensor on a human body.
If you wish to extend the length of the sensor cable, please purchase and use our optional
sensor extension cable (TR-1C30 / TR-5C10).
Do not cut or process the sensor cables.
Using the "Adjustment Function" in the software supplied with the Base Unit, it is possible
to make desired adjustment settings to a sensor; these settings are saved directly into the
sensor itself.Therefore, when a sensor is replaced, it is necessary to re-make any desired
adjustment settings to be saved into the newly connected sensor.
