Messages

• Sensor Error
  
  Indicates that the sensor is not connected or the wire is broken. Recording is in progress and so is battery consumption.
  If nothing appears on display after reconnecting the sensor to the device, there is a possibility that the sensor or the device has been damaged.

• Logging Capacity FULL
  
  Indicates that the logging capacity (16,000 readings*) has been reached in One Time mode, and recording has been stopped.
  8,000 temperature and humidity data sets for TR43A

Recording Intervals & Maximum Recording Times

Estimated Time until Logging Capacity (16,000 readings) is Reached

About 1 year and 10 months

TR43A has a capacity of 8,000 data sets, so the period is half of that above.
