2.1 Using the testo 160

The testo 160 WiFi data logger system is a modern solution for monitoring the climate and lighting conditions, e.g. in museums, archives, galleries and libraries.

The system consists of WiFi data loggers, external probes and a Cloud data storage system. The testo 160 WiFi data loggers reliably record temperature and humidity, CO2 levels, illuminance and UV radiation at adjustable intervals and transmit the readings directly to the Testo Cloud via WLAN. Via the web interface of this Cloud, the data can be analyzed at any time and anywhere, using an internet-ready smartphone, tablet or PC. The WiFi data loggers are programmed and reports are generated via this interface. Limit value violations are immediately reported via e-mail or optionally via SMS.

2.2 WiFi data loggers

2 Description of the instrument

If the WiFi data logger is in Continuous Mode (external power supply via USB mains unit), the air quality light stays on permanently. Temperature and humidity readings are displayed alternately.

If the WiFi data logger is in Single Mode (without external power supply via USB mains unit), the air quality light only comes on briefly during the measurement. Only the temperature is displayed. When switching to Single Mode, the WiFi data logger does not supply any readings for at least 10 min. “CAL” is shown on the display until the next measurement.

2.3 External probes

The external probes S-TH, S-LuxUV and S-Lux extend the range of functions of the 160 THE WiFi data logger and, in conjunction with the 160 E WiFi data logger, form an extremely versatile measurement system.

The external probes are only approved in conjunction with the testo 160 THE and testo 160 E WiFi data loggers.

2.3.1 S-TH

The external probe S-TH can be connected to the following WiFi data loggers: testo 160 THE and testo 160 E. You can use the S-TH probe to carry out temperature and humidity measurements.

To make it easy to install, the probe can be pushed out of the wall bushing. The probe can also be used without this wall bushing.

2 Description of the instrument

2.3.4 Extension cable

The sensors are supplied with the 60 cm cable (0554 2004) as standard. A 2.5 m long cable is optionally available (0554 2005), to be able to adapt the measurement system to all measuring situations. Since these are digital probes, multiple extension cables can also be combined. The maximum total length is approx. 10 m.

2.4 Deco-covers

3 different deco-covers are optionally available. Cover 0554 2006 is intended for the testo 160 TH, testo 160 THE and testo 160 E WiFi data loggers. Cover 0554 2009 is intended for the testo 160 THL WiFi data logger and cover 0554 2012 for the testo 160 IAQ WiFi data logger.

3.1 WiFi data loggers

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.

The time between the system warning "Battery almost discharged” and "Measurement data stop" is at the most one day during standard operation and a measuring cycle & communication cycle of 1 min (day & night) (battery type: Varta Industrial).

testo 160 WiFi data loggers come with a factory calibration protocol as standard. For museums, we recommend having an annual test carried out by Testo Customer Service. Moreover, there is an option of having ISO certificates created for the WiFi data loggers. These can be implemented by Testo Industrial Services (TIS) .
