65
Recorded data and recording settings will be lost if the
batteries run out.
It is recommended that the batteries be replaced before they run
out.
Battery life depends on the measurement environment,
communication frequency, recording interval and battery
quality.
Approximate battery life of 1 year is a standard of battery life
under use with a recording interval setting at 2 seconds or more
and in no way do we guarantee a battery’s life.
Battery terminals may provide insufcient contact due to
age or vibration.
Please be careful not to lose data due to insufcient contact.
Remove batteries from any unit that is not to be used for a
long period of time.
Batteries left in a unit not being used for a long time may leak
and cause a malfunction.
Use the sensor only within the measurable temperature
range (-40 to 110℃).
For extending the temperature sensor cable, use of only 1
extension cable is advised.
Use the sensor only within the measurable temperature
and humidity range (Temperature: 0 to 50℃, Humidity: 10
to 95%RH).
When the sensor is not used, put it in the attached plastic
bag with a drying agent and keep it in a cool, dark place at
5 to 25℃ and 30%RH or less.
An extension cable cannot be used with the Temperature/
Humidity Sensor.
The unit may give an error in humidity value if there is a
rapid change of temperature. However, the value will
return to normal after the sensor temperature stabilizes.

■Outline
Thermo Recorder TR-71S is a 2-channel data logger unit designed to
measure, display and record temperature. The TR-72S is a data logger
designed to measure, display and record temperature on 1 channel and
humidity on its other channel. The recorded data from either unit can be
downloaded to your computer via the included software "Thermo Recorder
for Windows" where you can use the software to create colorful graphs,
tables, export text les, as well manage les and control printing.

2 Install 2 AAA-size alkaline batteries in the correct direction to align
＋ and －.
Caution
● Install 2 new batteries. Avoid mixing old
and new batteries.
● Sometimes, after installing new batteries,
nothing will appear on the display for
about 3 seconds; this is not a malfunction.
3 Close the battery cover.
■Turn Power On

Caution
● The replacement period for the standard sensor is 1 year. Replace it
when 1 year has passed after opening the bag. When using the
Temperature and Humidity Sensor, the surface can become dirty and
may decrease its sensitivity and accuracy. Therefore, if the unit is
being used in a dusty or smoky environment, it may be necessary to
change the sensor sooner than usual. The accuracy of the sensor
may decrease even within 1 year if it is used (kept) outside the
specied operation conditions.
● When the sensor is not used, put it in the attached plastic bag with a
drying agent and keep it in a cool, dark place at 5 to 25℃ and 30%RH
or less.
● Two types of sensor seals are pasted on the sensor. If the seal shows
abnormality (appears red), replace the sensor as soon as possible.

conditions will be stored in the main unit. You can still download the
data to your computer.
● Recording will continue while you replace the batteries.
● The main unit will remain operating without batteries during
replacement for up to 3 minutes.
● Continuing to use the unit without changing the batteries will cause it
to go into sleep mode. From the time the [BAT] mark appears to the
time the unit will go into sleep mode is roughly as below. Please
change the batteries before the unit goes into the sleep mode.

Start Recording and Set Recording
Interval via Main Unit
Recording can be started and interval settings made via the buttons on the
main unit.
▼
Only Recording Start/Stop and Recording Interval can be controlled by
using the main unit buttons. Other settings, such as Temperature Unit of
Display (C/F) and Recording Mode, can only be made via computer.
See page 18 "Start Recording and Set Recording Conditions via Computer"
for more details.
■Start Recording
CAUTION
● Once a new recording starts, all the recorded data in the main
unit is erased.
● Pressing the [REC/STOP] even during waiting for a programmed
start will start recording immediately.
1 Press the [REC/STOP] Button for more than 3 seconds or until "REC"
appears on the LCD and recording starts.
※If the unit is set for Endless Method "LOOP" will be displayed on
the LCD before "REC" appears.
■Stop Recording
1 Press down on the [REC/STOP] button until the "REC" mark
disappears from the display (about 3 seconds) and recording will be
stopped.

18
■Set Recording Interval
CAUTION
The Recording Interval cannot be set or changed during
recording and /or during wait for a programmed start.
1 Press down on the [INTERVAL] button for about 3 seconds or until the
measurement value display changes to the Recording Interval display.
Release the button.
EX: Recording interval is 15 seconds
Recording interval is 15 minutes
● If during recording or while waiting for a programmed
recording to start the [INTERVAL] button is pressed down for
3 seconds or more, the present recording interval setting will
be displayed. Upon releasing the button the measurement
display will return.
2 Select the desired recording interval by pressing the [INTERVAL]
button. The interval will change each time you press on the button.
3 Stop pressing the button when the desired recording interval has been
reached.When the display returns to the measurement value display
the interval setting will be completed.

Start Recording and Set Recording
Conditions via Computer
Start Recording and Recording Conditions can be set via your computer by
using the software "Thermo Recorder for Windows". The following settings
can also will be made:
▼
For more details, see the Thermo Recorder for Windows User’s
Manual or the "HELP" menu of the software.
■Recording Start/Stop
Start and Stop the Recording via the Software.
CAUTION
By starting a new recording or by making new recording
conditions, recorded data stored in the main unit will be erased.
Be sure to download and save any necessary recorded data left
in main unit before making new settings.
■Set Recording Conditions
Recording Conditions such as "Record Starting Date", "Interval",
"Recording Mode" and "Temperature Unit of Display(C/F)" can be set or
changed easily via your computer.
In "Recording Mode" you can select from two recording methods.
● One Time Method
One Time Method: Recording stops when 8,000 data readings have
been recorded and "FULL" is indicated on the LCD. The estimated time
to reach "FULL" can be calculated with the following formula:
EX: A 30 second recording interval x 8,000 readings (Maximum
readings that the unit can record)
= 240,000 seconds =Approx. 2 days, 18 hours, and 40 minutes.
● Endless Loop Method
When 8,000 readings have been recorded the oldest data is overwritten
and recording continues.

After
Reaching Max
■Set Up Procedure
1 Connect the serial port of your computer and the main unit through the
standard communication cable. Connect the cable to a serial port
which has the following mark:
CAUTION
● Make sure to fully insert the connector to secure a proper
