Operations via Cloud

Auto-upload settings enable this product to automatically upload data to T&D WebStorage Service. Please read the T&D WebStorage Service License Agreement carefully before making settings.

• Making Auto-upload Settings indicates your acceptance of this Agreement.

STEP 1: Making Auto-Upload Settings

By making settings for auto-upload, it is possible to automatically upload recorded data to the online “T&D Web Storage Service”.

In the auto-upload, the maximum number of readings which can be stored in “T&D WebStorage Service” is 80,000. When this limit is exceeded, the oldest data will be overwritten and deleted.

1. Connect a LAN cable to the Ethernet port.
   If you wish to use a static IP address instead of DHCP, change the network settings on our software “TR7 for Windows” by connecting the device to a PC via USB. For details about operations please see the “Help” menu in the software.

2. Click the button twice to display the current upload interval.

3. Press the button until the display flashes.

4. With each pressing of the button the upload interval time will change. When the desired interval appears, stop pressing the button.
   If you wish NOT to use the auto-upload feature, select “OFF”. Within a few seconds, the display will return to measurement mode to indicate the upload interval is set.

Below are some examples of upload intervals and the corresponding estimated battery life.
In general, the shorter the upload interval, the shorter the battery life.

• All estimates are based on operations carried out with a new battery and are in no way a guarantee of actual battery life.
• The auto-upload interval can also be changed during a recording session.

STEP 2: Installing the Device

Install the device to the actual place it will be used.

STEP 3: Checking Recorded Data

1. Access “T&D Web Storage Service” from the web browser on your PC or mobile device. www.webstorage-service.com
2. Click [Create Account] to go to the registration page, and follow the directions to complete the registration. If you already have your User ID, go to the next step.
3. Login by entering the registered User ID and Password.
4. In the [Device Settings] window click [+Device].
5. In the Add a Device page, enter necessary information* and click [Add].
6. After data is sent to “T&D WebStorage Service” either by auto-upload or by pressing the <REC/STOP> button on the logger, the added device and its measurements will appear in the [Data View] window.

• The registration code can be found on the supplied Registration Code Label.

If measurements are not displayed:

• Check the device screen to make sure is ON. Recorded data will not be uploaded
  when recording is not in progress.

• Try sending data to “T&D WebStorage Service” again by pressing the <REC/STOP>
  button on the device.

• See “Checking Connection Status” in step 2, and check if the device has a LAN connection.

If the display of measurements is not refreshed:
We recommend making the recording interval shorter than the auto-upload interval. If the recording interval is set to longer than the upload interval, the same measurement is displayed until the next recording occurs and the new data is uploaded.

If you cannot find the registration code:
See [T&D WebStorage Service] – [important Notes] on the left side of this paper.
