Humidity calibration
The humidity sensors in the testostor 171 series (Type
171-2/1722/171-3 with integrated Testo humidity sensor
or Type 171-1/171-6 with humidity/temperature probe
which can be connected separately) must be checked in
accordance with application conditions and recalibrated
if there are large deviations.
The recommended control cycles range from yearly
intervals when the loggers are used for room climate
measurements to monthly controls under extreme
conditions when harmful gases or dusty air are present.
Find out which protective cage is suitable for your
sensor, in accordance with your application.
To control and calibrate the humidity sensors, a control
and adjustment set (Item no. 0554.0660) is available as
an accessory. The set consists of two small containers
with saturated salt solutions which permanently produce
humidity values of 11.3 and 75.3 %RH.
Remove the protective or the sintered cap and ensure
that the temperature and humidity sensor look to be in
order.
In the case of Type 171-2/1722/171-3 (with integrated
sensor) the humidity containers are screwed on directly.
An adapter for the separate humidity probe is included
with the calibration set which you can attach to the 12
mm probe. Screw the probe together with the adapter
into the container (the standard protective cap should
remain on the probe, the sintered cap should be
removed).
Screw on the 11.3 %RH container and wait until the
required thermal and humidity balance is reached
(recommendation: 30 min, 60 min is preferable). A stable
temperature between +20 to +25 °C is important in this
case.

Adjustment
The second window (activate by setting the button to
Adjustment) in H
UMIDITY CALIBRATION is not an
alternative for adjustment. However, it provides the
option of moving the characteristic curve parallel in a
small working range, if the data is correct at the
calibration points (11.3 or 75.3 %RH ± 2 %RH) to, for
example, superimpose the calculated values (dew
point and absolute humidity) with a reference
instrument.
Example: Drying, dew point range approximately -20
°C td. A standard humidity adjustment is often
insufficient since deviations of less than 0.1 %RH can
lead to integral modifications in the dew point display.
Move the point in the bar so far until the calculated
values correspond to the exact values or enter the
%RH values directly. It must be guaranteed that the
logger sensor system and the reference instrument
have the same climatic conditions (the same
temperature is particularly important).
The humidity containers are not needed for this fine
adjustment in the 0.1 %RH humidity range.
You can revise the humidity adjustment via the reset
button. The software then brings the factory values
again.

Battery life
The testostor 171 series is equipped with long-life Li
batteries which guarantee operation for several years.
Battery life is reduced by above-average PC
communication e.g. by longer online measurements. The
calculated remaining capacity is given in percent. The
diagram below provides information on the battery life
possible with testostor 171-0.

Changing batteries - Battery life
If your measurement program exceeds the remaining
calculated battery life or if the logger interrupts the
measurement series due to insufficient battery capacity
(warning appears) the battery must be changed. The
logger usually stops the data measurement
independently just before the end of the battery life so
that the logger can be read with the remaining battery
capacity.
When a battery is changed, the saved measured data
is lost (the calibration data is saved). In case of
emergency, please contact an authorised service
point.
You can change the battery yourself using the battery
set which is available as an accessory (Item no.
0515.0018). Please proceed as follows:
1. Remove the black cover plugs at the back of the
instrument. Unscrew the 4 screws crosswise and
remove the screws.
2. Attach the enclosed jumper to the two pins on the
circuit board (near the battery minus connection).
3. Unscrew the screws on the battery terminals, take
out the old battery and dispose of it responsibly.
4. Put in the new battery. Select the correct polarity in
accordance with the length of the connections pins.
Insert the battery so that it is located on the foamed
material between the circuit board and the edge of
the housing.
5. Tighten the terminals.
6. Now remove the jumper.
7. Change the O ring on the cover.
The guaranteed
protection class
of IP65/68 applies
only if handled
with care.
To protect the lithium battery, the maximum
permissible storage and transport
temperature in the instruments is + 85 °C.

C
HANNELS
The channels/sockets of the connected data
logger type are available for selection.
P
ROBES
Select the probes from the list with which you
wish to work. The name “INTERNAL” in front of
the probe name indicates that it is an internal
channel (while “EXTERNAL” stands for external
channels).
UPPER/LOWER LIMIT VALUE
An upper and lower limit can be assigned to each
measurement channel. These limit values are
monitored in the logger. If the limits have been
exceeded, a limit counter allocated to the channel
calculates the number of measured values
outside the limit. This information is included in
the measurement protocol.
The exceeding of the limit can be indicated
acoustically (See O
PTIONS). In testostor 1722, the
connected signal device gives off an alarm if the
programmed limit values are exceeded or are not
reached (acoustically and optically).
You can call up a table summarizing the number
of times the limits have been exceeded by
clicking twice in the limit value on the limit value
column.
The limit values, the number of values outside the
limits, the measurement duration and the amount
of measurement time outside the limits are
shown.

ONLINE MEASUREMENT
...
You can
- install the logger with an attached display module and
read off the readings from the display on site during
the measurement
or
- operate the logger like a measuring instrument using
your PC
With the logger activated, click on the green symbol in
the toolbar to start online measurement directly.
With this function, two situations are presumed.
a) If the logger does not save when online measurement
is activated, you will get the current values as measured
by the probes.
b) If the logger is activated and is already saving values
when online measurement is selected, there may be
delays of up to 3 seconds between the displayed online
readings and the actual readings since the saving
function has priority.
Therefore, it is recommended to switch off the saving
mode in the logger by newly programming or switching

PTIONS...
The following Settings can be made in GENERAL
FUNCTIONS:
Acoustic signal when measuring
Should the data logger give off an audible signal (bleep
sound) during every measurement?
Acoustic signal outside limits
Should an audible signal (cricket sound) be given off
when limit values are exceeded?
Note: the relay in testostor 1722 is activated once the limit
values are determined in the probe configuration (See
page 23). The connected signal device is then in the
alarm standby mode.

OK/CANCEL
OK confirms your inputs while Cancel discards your
input. Following both commands, you will find yourself
back in the original window.
P
ROGRAM LOGGER
...
The P
ROGRAM LOGGER command transmits the program
settings to the data logger. All of the contents of the
memory (all readings) are automatically deleted.
Successful transmission is confirmed by a message on
your screen. The data logger is activated and waits on
the decisive starting criteria. The measurement can then
start.
R
EAD OUT MEMORY
...
If a logger with data already saved is opened, the
measurement protocol appears as a symbol under the
logger symbol with the serial number. Click on this
symbol with your right mouse button. Another window is
opened offering you various reading out options. The
following are available:
- Read out or open all of the readings.
- Read out section:
• From ... to corresponding to
Date/Time
• From reading number
to
reading number
• The last ...values
(when the wrap-around memory is switched on).
Analysis of the measured data is
described in the Comfort Software
Instruction manuals.

PASSWORD
You can create a password, which will be saved in the
logger, via this button. If a password exists, it is required
before data is loaded up to the logger or readings are
read out of the logger. If an incorrect password is
entered, the function is not carried out.
If the function is confirmed without entering characters,
the password function is deactivated.
Changes to an existing password must be entered
beforehand.
If you have forgotten what your password is, please
contact our Service Department.
S
AVING THE PROGRAM
...
Program settings can be stored on a data carrier (hard
disk, disks etc.) to predefine certain standard
programming for the logger. These can be opened, if
required, via OPENING THE PROGRAM
... and transmitted to
the logger.
O
PENING THE PROGRAM
...
You can load the programming data for the logger from
the disk via this button. In this way, loggers with
predefined standard programs can be programmed
without the need for time-consuming settings.
S
TART/STOP
This button starts and stops measurements which were
programmed in the
Remote controlled
starting criteria.
Every
measurement can be stopped via the stop button.
Description of the “testostor 171 V1.” dialog box
The DATE
and TIME are adapted to the date and time of
your PC via the

(in g/m3).
H
UMIDITY CALIBRATION
Via this button, you can access a window offering you
the option of calibrating the internal or external humidity
sensor (provided you have connected Type 171-1,171-2,
1722, 171-3 or 171-6 data loggers).
Selects from the options:
Calibration
→ Process to conform with the technical data of the
data logger i.e. the standard two point calibration with
11.3 or 75.3 %RH.
and
Adjustment
→ Fine adjustment to optimise the calculated
absolute humidity values in a limited measuring
range by parallel relocation of the calibration
characteristic curve (by comparing and matching with
a reference instrument e.g. with reference to °C td).
Calibration is described in the “On the job...”
Chapter.
