NEW TR4 SERIES EASES MONITORING OF<br />
CONSTANTLY CHANGING TEMPERATURE DATA<br />
Wireless Bluetooth data loggers facilitate real-time supervision via mobile devices<br />
T&D Corporation, Japanese market leader for<br />
wireless data loggers, presents the new TR4<br />
series for temperature monitoring. Operating<br />
with low energy Bluetooth 4.0 and without the<br />
need for pre-registration, loggers within the<br />
communication range are instantly detected<br />
and automatically refreshed by mobile devices<br />
such as smartphones and tablets. Records can<br />
be monitored or stored in the free of charge,<br />
cloud-based T&D WebStorage Service with<br />
the help of two apps, available for iOS and<br />
Android.<br />
The TR4 series comprises three competitively<br />
priced models, two of them waterproof. Each<br />
model provides different sensor types and<br />
measurement ranges to serve diverse application<br />
requirements: the TR41 covers temperature<br />
measurements from -40 to 80°C (waterproof,<br />
internal sensor); the TR42 measures from -60<br />
to 155°C (waterproof, external sensor), while<br />
the TR45 for industrial use is available for<br />
thermocouple types K, J, T, S covering -199<br />
to 1.700°C or for types Pt 100/Pt 1000 with<br />
a range of between -199 and 600°C. For<br />
easy monitoring, the automatically collected<br />
data is displayed in neatly arranged graphs<br />
by the ThermoRec app or can be uploaded<br />
and shared with the ThermoStorage app.<br />
Simultaneous data collection from multiple<br />
loggers is possible. Each logger can be set<br />
to 15 different recording intervals, from one<br />
second to 60 minutes, and has a logging<br />
capacity of up to 16.000 readings. Battery<br />
life is up to one and a half years.<br />
Their high precision and wide range measurement<br />
abilities combined with their flexibility makes<br />
the TR4 data loggers ideal for use in private,<br />
industrial or public areas. They can be utilized,<br />
for example, for heating control in housing<br />
or agricultural sites as well as to safeguard<br />
refrigerators, sales cabinets and storage facilities.<br />
Additionally, they are ideal for supervising<br />
transportation of sensitive goods like fresh<br />
or frozen food or products for medical use.<br />
