TR-51S/52S User's Manual

Installing the Battery
Communication with your Computer
Reading the LCD
Outline
● We offer two types to fit your needs: the TR-51S with
internal sensor offers improved water resistance
and the TR-52S with external sensor brings quicker
response to changes in temperature. Both are
ideal for measuring and recording temperature in
normal outdoor conditions as well as harsher frozen
environments or frozen storage. The compact design
makes it no problem to place almost anywhere.
●
For downloading data to computer for saving and
processing use either one of our Communication
Ports (TR-50U or TR-50C) or our handy Data
Collectors (TR-57U or RTR-57U).
● By using with our newly released Communication
Port TR-50U, it is possible to take advantage of the
highest communication speeds for downloading data.
(up to 8 times faster than our previous models)
● We have removed all switches from the main unit to
assure nothing gets accidentally pushed during use,
thus assuring you of no mistakes, no tampering and
no loss of data.
● Up to 16,000 measurement readings can be
recorded; at a recording interval of 60 minutes that
would equal about 666 days or about 2 years of non-
stop consecutive recording.
● The latest version of our software can be downloaded
free of charge from our Web Site. Please visit us at
http://www.tandd.com for more information. The units
can be operated with“T&D Recorder for Windows
(TR-5,7xU)”version 1.50E or later (included with our
Communication Ports and Handy Data Collectors).
- When being used in cold environments the display may become difficult to read. This
is not a malfunction.
- When being used in hot environments the display may become black. This is not a
malfunction.
Battery Replacement Icon
If the replacement icon appears, try to replace the battery with a
new one as soon as possible.
1. When it is time for the battery to be replaced, the [ ] icon will
appear.
2. After removing the battery, wait for about three seconds until the
[bAt t] appears. Once this appears please change the battery as
quickly as possible.
- If the battery is replaced before [bA t t] appears, even after replacing the
[ ] icon may remain.
- After a battery is installed, if [bA tt ] remains on display for more than one minute,
please check to make sure that the battery has been properly installed. If after
checking, the icon continues to appear, please try to carry out some optical
communication. If optical communication is psossible, the icon will disappear within
an hour.
- Downloading of data cannot occur while the battery is removed.
- Recorded data will be saved and recording will continue.
3. If the battery is further left unchanged, the display will automatically
shut off.
- If, at this time, a new battery is placed in the unit, [CHEC] will appear on the display
after which recording will begin again using the previously set recording conditions.
Note however that all previously recorded data will have been lost.
[Estimating Battery Life]
These estimates are based on using a new battery. Battery Life will be
greatly shortened if communication is carried out quite often and/or if the
recording interval is set for 10 seconds or less.
(Communication frequency : 4 times / month)
Recording Interval 1 second 2 seconds 5～30 seconds 1 minute or more
Battery Life about
16 months about 2 years about 3 years about 4 years
- The [ ] icon will appear based upon the calculation of battery use. It may
appear sooner than noted above.
- If the unit is left with the warning LED blinking, battery life will be halved.
Notes about Changing the Battery
Replace with a new battery following directions as in“Installing the
Battery”. Recording will continue using the previously set recording
settings or will restart using those settings.
- If + (plus) and – (minus) are mistaken, or if the battery terminals + and – are
shorted, the recorded data that is stored in the logger will be lost.
- Before replacing a battery, please make sure to download any necessary data and
proceed with changing the battery. For details, see the User's Manual that came
with the software.
- Do not remove the battery until it can be replaced with a new one.he battery life
