Introduction
The TR4A series enables data collection and management using dedicated mobile device applications. By using our free cloud service, you can access collected data using a web browser and analyze with the T&D Graph Windows application.

Bluetooth

Cellular WiFi

Internet

The following applications are supported:

T&D Thermo
Mobile app for device configuration, data collection and graphing, data upload to the cloud, and report creation. Refer to the HELP for operational details. https://manual.tandd.com/thermo/
TR4 Report
TR4 Report is a mobile application that collects recorded data and generates a report for a specified period. Refer to the HELP for operational details.
https://manual.tandd.com/tr4report/

Device Preparation
TR45A is a data logger designed to measure and record different items depending on the input module (Sold Separately) to be connected: temperature (Thermocouple, Pt), analog signal (4-20mA, DC voltage), and pulse.
Battery Installation & Input Module Connection
The logger starts recording automatically upon battery installation and input module recognition.

Measurement Item
Temperature (Type K, J, T, S, R)
Temperature (Pt100, Pt1000)
Voltage

Input Module (Type) Thermocouple Module (TCM3010)
PT Module (PTM-3010)
Voltage Module (VIM-3010)

Recording Status ON: Recording in progress OFF: Recording stopped BLINKING: Waiting for programmed start

Recording Mode

ON (One Time): Upon reaching logging capacity, recording automatically stops. OFF (Endless): Upon reaching the logging capacity, the oldest data is overwritten and recording continues.

Battery Warning Mark

When this appears, replace the battery as soon as possible. A low battery may cause communication errors.

If the battery is left unchanged until the LCD display goes blank, all recorded data in the logger will be lost.

Communication Blinks while communicating with the application. Status

Display Examples
Display varies depending upon the input module connected.

Temperature (Thermocouple, Pt100 / Pt1000) Sensor type will be displayed below the measurement. (Unit: °F / °C)
: Thermocouple Type, : Pt100, : Pt1000 Default setting is Type K and Pt. The sensor type setting can be changed in the application.
Voltage The measurement range, recording method, and preheat settings can be made in the application. Measurement Range: V Range 0 to 22V, mV Range 0 to 999.9mV
Default setting is V Range. Due to the wide measurement range, the device has been set by default
to adjust the decimal point automatically to display the measurement in V.
4-20mA The recording method (“Average Value” or “Instantaneous Value”) can be selected in the application. (Unit: mA)

Pulse There are two display methods as follows. The display method can be changed in the application. (Unit: P)
Pulse Rate (Max: 61439) The most recent pulse count for the recording interval period will be displayed. The display will be refreshed every one-sixtieth of the recording interval (at minimum of every one second). 45,000 pulse count will be displayed as [45.00P] with K (x1000) below the
measurement value (in units of 10 pulses).
Total Pulse Count (0 to 9999) Indicates the cumulative number of pulses since recording start. The display will be refreshed every one second. Upon exceeding 9999, the count will start over again from 0.

Messages

Low Battery This appears if, after the battery warning mark is displayed, no action is taken and the battery level becomes lower. (The measurement and the [bAtt] sign will alternately appear in the LCD.)

Bluetooth communication is now stopped. * If the battery is left unchanged until the LCD display goes blank, all
recorded data in the logger will be lost. Input Module Unrecognized or Unconnected If the display does not change after reconnecting the input module, it may be damaged.
Sensor Error Indicates that the sensor is not connected or the wire is broken.
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.
Measurement Range Exceeded This will appear if a measurement exceeds the measurement range.

Default Settings
Recording Interval: 10 minutes Recording Mode: Endless

4-20mA

4-20mA (AIM-3010)

Pulse

Pulse Input Cable (PIC-3150)

Before using the pulse input cable, it is necessary to set the measurement item to “pulse type” in the application.
Sensor not provided / Pt sensor available as option

Display Range Exceeded
When measuring voltage in mV range, the measurement in the LCD display will flash if it exceeds the display range of the device.

Logging Capacity FULL Indicates that the logging capacity has been reached and recording has been stopped. (When recording mode is One Time)
Estimated Time until Logging Capacity (16,000 readings) is Reached

Rec Interval Time Period

1 sec. About 4 hours

30 sec. About 5 days

1 min. About 11 days

10 min. About 111 days

60 min.

Note
1 The registration code can be found by opening the back cover of the logger. 2 Mean Kinetic Temperature (MKT) is a weighted non-linear average that shows the effects of temperature
variations over time. It is used to aid evaluation of temperature excursions for temperature-sensitive goods during storage and transportation.
