Cautions about using the Sensors
Cautions about using the temperature sensor TR-0106
The possible temperature measurement range for
this sensor is -40 to 110℃ . Please use it within this
range.
It is possible to use just one extension cable per
temperature sensor.
Cautions about using
the temperature/humidity sensor TR-3100
The sensor can measure temperature within the
range of 0 to 50
of 10 to 95％ RH. Only use the sensor within these
ranges.
If extremely severe temperature changes occur, the
humidity measurements may appear abnormal.
Once the sensor's temperature becomes stable, the
measurements will return to normal.
This sensor is not waterproof. Do not get wet.
The temperature/humidity sensor cable cannot be
extended.
When measuring with the temperature/humidity
sensor in an environment of 0 to 50
than 30％ RH, the measurements may sometimes
fluctuate. This is not abnormal.

TR-71U/TR-72U Thermo Recorders are data loggers capable of measuring,
displaying and recording temperature and humidity data. TR-71U has two
temperature channels and TR-72U has one temperature and one humidity
channel . Th e data recorded into the T R-71U
downlo ade d quickly via USB cable to your computer whereby with our
exclusive software you can easily process the data into graphs, tables, save to
files and/or print it out. Moreover, it is possible to connect more than one unit

Data Recording Capacity : 8000 readings × 2 channels
One channel can record and hold up to 8000 measurement readings. If set
at a recording interval of 1 hour, a unit can continuously record for about
one year.
1 Year of Operation with just 1 AA Alkaline Battery
Our low energy consumption design gives you one year of continuous
operation with only one AA alkaline battery. This gives you the freedom to
use the data loggers in places where they can be left alone for long periods
of time, such as, in transportation or refrigeration.
Note: Battery life varies depending upon the type of battery, the
measuring environment, the frequency of communication, and the ambient
temperature in which it is used. Specifications and explanations used in
this User's Manual are based on operations carried out with a new battery
and are in no way a guarantee of your actual battery life.

Battery Life Warning Display
When the battery power becomes low, a battery life warning signal will
appear in the unit’s LCD display. If the battery power becomes even lower
the unit will automatically go into sleep mode in order to protect the data.
15 Recording Intervals
Select from 15 Recording Intervals (from 1 second to 1 hour) to meet your
needs. Select from 2 Recording Modes
One-time Mode : When the number of recorded readings reaches 8000,
Endless Mode : When the number of recorded readings reaches 8000, the

will automatically stop.
oldest data reading will be overwritten and recording will
continue.
Backup Function
When battery power becomes low, a battery life warning signal will appear
in the unit’s LCD display and if the battery power becomes even lower the
unit will automatically go into sleep mode in order to protect the data. In
sleep mode all normal operations will stop and it will become impossible to
switch on the power of the main unit.
Note: If the main unit remains in sleep mode for about 1 month without
a change of battery, or if the battery is left out of the unit for more than 2
minutes, all recorded data will be lost.
Current Readings Monitoring Display
With our exclusive software, you cannot only monitor the current
measurements at a set interval, but can view those measurements in a
continually changing graph. You can simultaneously display the current
measurements and corresponding graphs for the number of units you have
connected.
Adjustment Function
Bt setting adjustment values beforehand, you can record and display
the post-adjusted measurement values. You can choose from two
adjustment methods: 1-point and 2
using an adjustment equation of Y＝aX + b ; where X is the pre-adjusted
measurement value and Y is the post-adjusted value.
