2.1 Use
The testo 160 TH, THE, THL, THG, IAQ and E data loggers are handy
measuring instruments for measuring temperature, humidity, CO2
concentration, illuminance and UV.
The external probes S-TH, S-LuxUV and S-Lux are only approved in
conjunction with the testo 160 THE and testo 160 E data loggers.
You can find further information about proper use in the instruction
manual for the testo
160 data loggers or online beneath the login of the
respective testo application:
www.testo.com/login.

2.2 Overview
2.2.1 testo 160 TH, 160 THE, 160 THL, 160 E
Use the testo 160 TH data logger to carry out temperature and
humidity measurements.
Use the testo 160 THE data logger to carry out temperature and
humidity measurements. The external probes S-TH, S-LuxUV and S-
Lux can also be connected.
Use the testo 160 THL data logger to carry out temperature, humidity,
lux and UV measurements.
The external probes S-TH, S-LuxUV and S-Lux can be connected to
the testo 160 E data logger.

3.1 Inserting into / removing from the wall
bracket
1
- Insert the unlocking tool into the
unlocking opening.
2
- Push back the locking pin using the unlocking tool.
3
- Pull the data logger up and out of
the wall bracket.
3.2 Starting up the data logger
The data loggers must only be mounted vertically. Here, the
connections must point downwards. In the case of data loggers with a
display, you need to pay attention to the reading direction. Otherwise,
the measuring accuracy might be diminished.
1
- Open battery compartment cover.
2
- Remove battery safety strip.
3
- Close the battery compartment.
The IAQ data logger has a higher energy requirement. This reduces the
minimum measuring cycle to 5 minutes when battery-operated.

3Commissioning

Operation via mains unit is therefore recommended. An appropriate
USB cable can also be purchased as an accessory.
Only for testo 160 E and testo 160 THE:
The external probes must be connected
before
logging into the Cloud
for the first time. If an additional probe is to be connected at a later
stage, the data logger must first be logged out of the Cloud. The
external probe can then be connected and the data logger logged in
again.
3.3 Logging into the Testo Cloud
You need an account for the Testo Cloud. If you have not yet set this
up, please sign up at https://www.museum.saveris.net.
For your new testo 160 WiFi data logger to be able to connect to your account
in the Testo Cloud, it requires the three following pieces of information at
minimum:
1. The ID of your account in the Cloud. You will find this in your account under
the menu item Configuration - Account ID.
2. The network name of your WLAN (SSID), which the WiFi data logger will use
to connect to the internet.
3. The password for this network.
Storage of this information on the WiFi data logger is called “Configuring the
WiFi data logger". Four different options are available for this process.
3.3.1 Configuration via the Setup assistant
The Setup assistant in the web interface of the Testo Cloud is provided to
assist you when you take your first steps with commissioning the testo 160. It
can help you with logging in WiFi data loggers.
To be able to carry out the configuration, you need to be logged into
the web interface at https://www.museum.saveris.net.

- Click on the symbol above the menu bar.
The Setup assistant launches and assists you with the configuration.
Follow the instructions there.

3.5 Calibration
The WiFi data loggers are supplied with a factory calibration certificate as
standard.
In many applications, it is recommended that you recalibrate the loggers every
12 months.
This can be carried out by Testo Industrial Services (TIS) or other certified
service providers with the aid of easy-to-use service software.
Please contact Testo for further information.

4Technical data
Measurement-specific data
The humidity sensor attains the highest degree of accuracy in
temperatures between + 5 °C and + 60 °C and 20% to 80% RH. If the
instrument is exposed to higher humidity for a long period of time, this
can falsify the readings by up to 3% RH. After 48 hours at 50% RH ±
10 % and +20 °C ± 5 °C, the sensor regenerates by itself.
CAUTION
Damage to the humidity probe
-The probe must never be exposed to a humidity level of 100 % RH for
longer than 3 days.

Ports
The testo 160 WiFi data loggers use the MQTT protocol, which
communicates via port TCP 1883 and 8883.
These UDP port approvals are also required:
•Port 53 (DNS name resolution)
•Port 123 (NTP time synchronisation)

4Technical data
16
All ports only have to be able to communicate externally to the Cloud.
No bi-directional port approvals are necessary.
During the initial configuration, it is possible to select whether DHCP or
Static IP is used (select Expert mode for the corresponding
information). (Not possible in the Setup assistant.)
testo 160 application
The testo 160 application is accessible via a normal, up-to-date
browser (www). The standard TCP ports http (80) and https (443) are
used.
