testo 454 -The handy measuring instrument
Nearly all of the probes from the Testo range can be connected to the universal hand-held
instrument. The automatic probe recognition function facilitates quick control measurements. In air conditioning technology several parameters can be quickly measured on
location e.g. temperature, humidity, velocity and pressure. The probe designs are fully
adapted to the respective applications.
testo 454 - The powerful data logger
All of the boundary conditions for an independent long-term measurement are programmable: start of measurement, end of measurement, location name and alarm outputs are
determined by selectable starting criteria. The six freely assignable channels and three
measuring programs make the data logger very versatile. There are various additional special functions available for air conditioning and ventilation technology: averaging, volume
flow display, Pitot tube calculation etc.
testo 454 - Independent application
The rechargeable, environment friendly rechargeable battery makes the user independent
of the power supply. Power can also be supplied from a car battery.
testo 454 - User-friendly operation
The housing is ergonomic and ideal for practical operation and is made of robust ABS.
The large, illuminated display can be easily read and can display three different parameters. The menu-driven user operation via the sealed keyboard makes the instrument easy
to use.
testo 454 - Configuring and data processing on the PC
If a PC and the Comfort software are connected you can take full advantage of the benefits
offered by the data logger. All of the settings in the data logger are prepared first in the PC
and are then loaded into the data logger. Only the measurement is started on the measuring location. The processing of saved measured in the PC is just as uncomplicated as configuring.

Warning
Please read before using instrument
Do not measure on live parts.
Observe permissible storage and transport temperatures and the permissible oper-
ating temperature (e.g. protect measuring instrument from direct sunlight)!
Switch off the instrument when changing the configuration (e.g. probe change, plug-
ging in the V24 cable) because the values specific to the probes can only be read
after the instrument is switched on.
If the instrument is opened, improperly handled or force is used the warranty rights
are cancelled.
In the case of temperature probes which come into contact with metal, there may
be an electric discharge caused by the different potential between metal and the
surface probe. Please apply adhesive tape to the point of measurement during
this type of application. In this way a discharge which could limit the functioning
of the instrument is preventde.

6Introductory training
The purpose of the introductory training is to make
the operation of the instrument easier for you.
Measuring, printing and saving is explained in short,
easy steps.
The functions of the testo 454 are described in
detail in Chapter 8.
Before using the instrument please check if the delivery is complete and undamaged.
6.1 Measuring
Connect one or more probes to the measuring instrument.
Irrespective of which sockets are assigned the measuring instrument recognises which sockets are
assigned and which probes are connected.
It is important that the probes are connected
before the instrument is switched on so that the
instrument can query the probe codes when switched
on.
Now switch on the measuring instrument.
A short function test is conducted. After several seconds the instrument is in the measuring menu and
the first set of information appears in the display.
The code of the respective measuring program is displayed in the top line. “P inactive” means that a
measuring program was not activated (refer to Chapter 8.3.3)
The measured values are shown in the lines below:
• the socket assignment is shown in the left
column
• the measured value is in the middle column
• the unit is in the right column
If you happen to go to the wrong menu when going
through the steps or if you simply do not know how to
proceed press the <Arrow> key several times and
you will return to the next highest menu and back to
the measuring menu.

6Introductory training
From the measuring menu go to the submenu “Print”
by pressing the key <6>, selection is on “MEASURED
VALUES”.
Switch on the printer.
Position the printer and the measuring instrument
such that the red control lamp is pointing in the direction of the infrared diode in the testo 454 measuring instrument.
Confirm the menu point selected “PRINT - M
EASURED
VALUES
” with <Enter>.
The printer immediately prints the current measured
values.
Ensure that the infrared connection from the
measuring instrument to the printer is not interrupted during the printing otherwise you may have
an incomplete printout.
Go back to the measuring menu after printing by
pressing <Arrow> twice.
6.3 Saving measured values
Save the current measured values out of the measuring menu via the <point> key.
“Act.Values stored Location: LENZKIRCH” appears
in the display. The location “LENZKIRCH” is set in
the factory. It is possible to change the measuring
location or to set up a selection of different locations
(see next page).
Return to the measuring menu by pressing <Enter>.

7Operating instructions
7.1 Measuring
When measuring the probes must be connected
before the instrument is switched on.
Insert one or more probe plugs into the data logger
socket(s). It does not matter which socket you
choose as the data logger recognises the assignment of the input channels and the probes connected.
Switch on the instrument.
A short function test is carried out.
The instrument then goes to the measuring menu.
A 4 line display appears.
The first line shows the program status, in this case
“P. inactive” for program inactive which means that a
measurement is not activated (activated programs
wait on the respective programmed starting criterion,
see Chapter 8.3.3).
The current measured values are shown in the following lines. The input channel (socket no.) is shown
in the left column while the current measured value is
shown in the right column.
Using <up>/<down> the measured values can be
scrolled up and down in the display (if more than 3
are active).
Leave the measuring menu by pressing <Enter> and
change to the main menu.
The main menu includes the following submenus:
