1 Safety and disposal
1.1 About this document
• The instruction manual is an integral part of the instrument.
• Keep this documentation to hand so that you can refer to it when
necessary.
• Always use the complete original instruction manual.
• Please read this instruction manual through carefully and familiarize yourself
with the product before putting it to use.
• Hand this instruction manual on to any subsequent users of the product.
• Pay particular attention to the safety instructions and warning advice in
order to prevent injury and damage to the product.
1.2 Security
General safety instructions
• Only operate the product properly, for its intended purpose, and within the
parameters specified in the technical data.
• Do not apply any force.
• Do not operate the instrument if there are signs of damage to the housing or
connected cables.
• Dangers may also arise from objects to be measured or the measuring
environment. Always comply with the locally valid safety regulations when
carrying out measurements.
• Do not store the product together with solvents.
• Do not use any desiccants.
• Only perform maintenance and repair work on this instrument that is
described in this documentation. Follow the prescribed steps exactly when
doing the work.
• The instrument is not explosion-proof and must not be used in potentially
explosive atmospheres.
• Maintenance work that is not described in this documentation must only be
carried out by trained service engineers.

• Use only original spare parts from Testo.
Batteries
• Improper use of batteries may cause destruction of the batteries, injuries
due to current surges, fire or the escape of chemicals.
• Only use the battery supplied in accordance with the instructions in the
instruction manual.
• Do not charge batteries. Attempting to charge a non-rechargeable battery
may cause gas to be produced or heat to be generated. That may lead to
the escape of gases, an explosion and/or possibly to fire.
• Do not short batteries. If the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of a
battery are directly connected to one another, the battery will be shorted.
For example, batteries can be shorted when you have them loose in your
pocket along with keys or coins. This may lead to the escape of gases and
the leakage of battery acid.
• Do not deform batteries. Batteries must not be squashed, drilled,
dismantled, pierced, modified or damaged in any other way. This may lead
to the leakage of battery acid, to the escape of gases and/or to an
explosion.
• Do not heat batteries above the permitted temperature or burn them. If a
battery is heated, this may lead to the leakage of battery acid and/or to an
explosion. Lithium batteries can, for instance, react very strongly in
combination with fire. This may involve battery components being emitted
with considerable power.
• Do not consume battery, risk of burns due to hazardous substances. Keep
new and used batteries away from children.
• In principle, contact with escaping battery components may present a risk
to health and to the environment. Adequate body and breathing protection
is therefore required when in contact with batteries that have peculiar
aspects (escaping contents, deformations, discolourations, dents or the
like).
• Do not leave batteries lying around loose once they have been unpacked. If
batteries that have been unpacked are left lying around loose, they can
easily short one another, particularly button cells. In some cases, this is very
dangerous because the batteries may heat up. This may lead to an
explosion.
• Always store batteries in a cool, dry place.
• Batteries must be disposed of in accordance with the local and country-
specific regulations. In order to prevent short circuits and the associated
heating, lithium batteries must never be stored unprotected in bulk.

Appropriate measures against short circuits are for instance inserting the
batteries into the original packaging or a plastic bag, masking the poles or
embedding them in dry sand.
• Lithium batteries must be transported and shipped in accordance with the
local and country-specific regulations.
• Do not expose the batteries to heavy impacts, water or fire.
• Only use the batteries in environments with a maximum temperature of
+140 °C.
• Do not store unused batteries in the proximity of metal objects.
• Do not use any damaged batteries.
First-aid measures
• If there is any contact with the skin or eyes, the areas must be rinsed with
water for at least 15 minutes. If there is any contact with the eyes, a doctor
must be contacted in addition to the rinsing.
• If burns are caused, these must be treated appropriately. You are also
strongly advised to contact a doctor.
• Airways: Leave the room immediately when smoke development or gas
release is acute. Consult a doctor when amounts are larger and airways are
irritated.
• Swallowing: Rinse out mouth and surrounding area with water. Get medical
assistance immediately.
• In the event of contact with battery acid: rinse the affected areas thoroughly
with water and if necessary consult a doctor.

2.1 Use
Testo guarantees the functionality of its products when used in
accordance with their intended purpose. This guarantee does not
apply to features of Testo products in combination with unauthorized
third-party products. Competitor products are not authorized by Testo.
As is common practice, Testo generally excludes support, warranty or
guarantee claims relating to functionality that has not been guaranteed
by Testo as part of the product offered. Claims of this kind shall also
be excluded in the event of improper use or handling of the products,
e.g. in combination with unauthorized third-party products.
The testo 191 data loggers are used to measure individual temperature and
pressure readings and measurement series.
The testo 191 data loggers measure and store temperature and pressure
readings which, with the aid of the configuration and readout unit and a USB
cable, are transmitted to the PC, where they can be read out and evaluated
using the testo 191 Professional software. The software also enables the data
loggers to be individually programmed and the readings analyzed and printed
out via a report and subsequently archived.
Application examples
The testo 191 T1, testo 191 T2, testo 191 T3, testo 191 T4 and testo 191 P1
data loggers are ideal for measuring temperature and pressure in order to
validate pasteurization and sterilization processes in autoclaves, containers and
freeze-drying systems.
In conjunction with the freeze-drying probe holder, the testo 191 T3 and
testo 191 T4 data loggers are also ideal for measuring the plate surface
temperature distribution in freeze-drying systems.
All testo 191 data loggers can also be used for various control measurements
of temperature and pressure within the defined temperature range.
