2 Safety and disposal
2.1 Safety
• Always operate the product properly, for its intended purpose and within the
parameters specified in the technical data. Do not use any force.
• Never use the Saveris probes to measure on or near live parts.
• Only carry out maintenance and repair work on the components of the testo
Saveris measurement data monitoring system that are described in the
documentation. Follow the prescribed steps exactly when doing the work.
Use only original spare parts from Testo.
• The use of the wireless module is subject to the regulations and stipulations
of the respective country of use and, in each case, the module may only be
used in countries for which a country certification has been granted. The
user and every owner undertake to adhere to these regulations and
prerequisites for use and acknowledge that the re-sale, export, import, etc. in
particular in, to or from countries without wireless permits, is their
responsibility.
• When selecting the mounting location, ensure that the permissible ambient
and storage temperatures are adhered to.
At temperature
there is only a limited possibility of reliable system operation in this
temperature range.
8
3 Protecting the environment
• Do not use the product if there are signs of damage to the housing.
• Do not commission the instrument if there are signs of damage on the
housing.
• Dangers may also arise from objects being 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.
2.2 Batteries
The batteries in the Saveris base, the Saveris Ethernet data loggers and the
Saveris analog couplers are wearing parts which have to be replaced after
approx. 2 years. If batteries are faulty, it is not possible to guarantee full
operability of the GSM module. In the event of a power failure, data loss cannot
be ruled out for all components. When a component's batteries are no longer
fully functional, it triggers a Defective battery system alarm.
The batteries (order no. 0515 5021) should then be replaced immediately to
ensure full functionality and data security.
3 Protecting the environment
• Dispose of faulty and spent batteries in accordance with the valid legal
specifications.
• At the end of its useful life, deliver the product to the separate collection
point for electric and electronic devices (observe local regulations) or return
the product to Testo for disposal.
• WEEE Reg. No. DE 75334352

5 Using the system
5.1 Fields of application
The testo Saveris measurement data monitoring system can be used anywhere
where temperature and humidity-sensitive products are produced, stored or
transported; for example in the food industry (cold rooms, deep freeze rooms
and refrigerated/deep freeze transporters), in smaller food production
companies, such as bakeries and butcher’s shops, or in the pharmaceutical
industry (temperature-controlled cabinets, storage and transportation of drugs).
9
5 Using the system
But the testo Saveris measurement data monitoring system can also be used in
other industries for monitoring IAQ in buildings, as well as for quality assurance
in store rooms for products in every phase of production.
The testo Saveris measurement data monitoring system is only used to
monitor readings, not to control and regulate them.
The Saveris base with the SMS module may not be operated in
environments where, for example, use of a mobile phone is prohibited.
Mobile monitoring is only available for countries with appropriate radio
authorization of 868 MHz.
5.2 How it works
5.2.1 Measurement data monitoring for
monitoring in the stationary area
The testo Saveris measurement data monitoring system enables ambient or
process data for temperature and humidity in closed areas (production plants,
warehouses) to be measured and saved. The values measured by the probes in
the system are transmitted to the Saveris base, either wirelessly or via cable
(Ethernet), by data loggers, which are also used as a buffer memory for the
measurement data, and the values are then saved in the base. A connected
computer transfers the measurement data of the Saveris base to permanent
archiving in a database.
5.2.2 Measurement data monitoring for transport
monitoring with radio data loggers (“mobile
monitoring”)
The monitoring of ambient parameters during the transport of sensitive goods is
done by radio data loggers which are fitted in the transport container (e.g. in a
truck). If the transport container returns to the base, the readings recorded by
the data logger are transmitted via extender (or also directly) to the Saveris base
as soon as there is an adequate radio link. The Saveris cockpit unit can be used
in the truck for direct checking of readings. If radio data loggers are registered in
mobile zones, all the radio data loggers are in one radio cell on the same
channel. The Saveris extenders work as external antennas of the Saveris base
with a spatial distribution. All of these radio data loggers are registered on the
Saveris base.

connection.
5.3 Exclusion of liability
The testo Saveris measurement data monitoring system was developed to
consolidate a large amount of measurement data from spatially separated data
loggers in the Saveris software, to document them without interruption and to
provide alarms in the event of irregularities.
The design of the testo Saveris measurement data monitoring system is not
intended for the purpose of undertaking control and regulation tasks. In
particular, the alarms are not to be seen as so-called critical alarms which are
able to avert dangers to life and limb or damage to property.
Liability on the part of Testo SE & Co. KGaA for damages from this type of
application is excluded.
