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 nonstop 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 wit
h“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 [bAt t] appears, even after replacing the
[
] icon may remain.
- After a battery is installed, if [bAt t] 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
warning will not be displayed at the proper time.
- Please store the LS14250 in a place that is 20℃ or less.

1.
Remove screws and open the case.
- Make sure to use the proper type and size screwdriver.
(A Phillips head #1 is best)
2.
Insert the attached battery into the tube and mount
the tube in the direction shown in the figure.
- Tube is not necessary in the case of using CR2.
3.
Confirm that the rubber packing does not have dust
or defects. Close the case and screw on the cover.
- Dust or defects on the packing can adversely affect the
waterproof characteristics.
- Make sure the cover is closed in the correct direction.
- Please do not tighten the screw too tightly.
(appropriate torque: 20N/cm – 30N/cm [2Kgf/cm – 3Kgf/cm])

[Check]
This will be displayed under the following conditions:
・The first time a battery was inserted after purchase
・If the battery is replaced after having been taken
out for a long period
If this appears, all data that was stored in the Logger
will have been erased.
Warning (exceeds set limit)
Warning
LED will
flash
If a measured temperature exceeds one of the
already set upper and lower limits, the warning LED
on the Logger will flash. At the same time, one of the
“Over Limit ”icons will appear on the Logger LCD.
[Exceeds Upper Limit]
If a measured temperature exceeds the set upper
limit, the Logger LED will alternately flash between
[HI] and the current temperature.
[Exceeds Upper Limit]
If a measured temperature exceeds the set lower
limit, the Logger LED will alternately flash between
[Lo] and the current temperature.
Starting the Warning Monitoring Function
If these settings are made in an environment where one of the limits is being exceeded
and recording is started, the monitoring function will enter“wait”mode. Once the current
measurement falls within the set limits, the monitoring function will begin to operate.
Removing a Warning
Under the following conditions the warning display will be removed:
-When a Recording Start session is begun from the software.
-When [Clear Warning] is carried out from the software (only via TR-50U).
-When recorded data is downloaded and is successfully completed.
-When the battery is removed, or battery power has been lost and the [CHEC] icon appears.
Measurement Range Exceeded (for TR-52S only)
The current temperature display will blink when the
temperature goes below
-
60℃ or goes above +
155℃ .
Sensor Unconnected (for TR-52S only)
Displayed when a sensor has not been connected
or the wire has been broken. Measurement and
recording will continue and battery power consumed.

Notes about the Device used for Communication
When using optical communication with Communication Port TR50C or one of our Data Collectors, please take note of the following.
- When using these devices with our Software “T&D Recorder for Windows (TR-5,
7xU)” TR-51S will be recognized as TR-51A and TR-52S will be recognized as
TR-52; please operate as such.
- Furthermore, the high speed data communication for downloading data and warning
monitoring functions built into the TR-5S series cannot be used.
In order to make recording settings in the Logger and download data from the Logger to your computer it is necessary to carry out
communication via optical communication using one of T&D's Communication Ports or Data Collectors (sold separately).
For details about how to make recording settings, download data and other operations; please see the User's Manual that comes with the
Communication Port or Data Collector.
Note
- If a new battery has been installed and recording does not immediately start, the display is jumbled, or
nothing appears the circuit board may have been touched while installing the battery. Please remove the
battery and try installing again.
- When inserting a battery, make sure no water or foreign objects get inside the case.
- Lithium batteries (CR2) sold in stores may also be used, but if you are using in an environment below
-
20℃ , above 60℃ , or in a situation such as transportation where continued vibration is likely to occur, we
suggest the purchase and use of the optional lithium battery LS14250.
- Make sure that + and - are in the correct direction. If they are not correct, it may cause damage.
- After inserting the battery, it may occur that nothing appears in the display for about 10 seconds; this is
not a malfunction.
