ThermoREC

ThermoREC is an application for making TR4 settings and monitoring temperature data via graphs.
By collecting and plotting data in graph form from logger(s), it provides a way to constantly monitor important temperature changes. The data displayed in Graph View is automatically uploaded to T&D WebStorage Service.
Android 4.4 or later, iOS 9.0 or later

Device Information Model Number, Serial Number, Firmware Version
Recording Settings
Device Name
Adjustment After adjustment settings have been made to a logger, it will display and record only the post-adjusted readings.
  • 1 Point Adjustment: Use this to adjust all measurements with the same offset.
  • 2 Point Adjustment: Use this to adjust measurements in a wide range or when adjustment cannot be carried out using only one point.
See: Adjustment Examples
Device Lock Select ON or OFF. Device Lock protects data from being read or changed by unauthorized persons. When Device Lock is set to ON, the lock icon is displayed in the Top screen.

Time Period About 4 hours About 5 days About 11 days About 111 days About 1 year and 10 months

Recording Mode (Endless / One Time)

Endless

Overwrite the oldest data when logging capacity is full.

One Time

Recording automatically stops when logging capacity is full.


Adjustment Examples

When you are carrying out adjustment settings and formulating equations please take care with the settings and take personal responsibility for the process.

1 Point Adjustment

This adjustment method changes only the intercept (b) where the slope (a) is considered to be the value of "one".
For example, the data logger is measuring 10.2°C, but the standard says the actual measurement should be 100°C. Enter 10.2 in the "Before" box and 10 in the "After" box. The conversion equation will be Y=X-0.2 and for all measurements an adjustment to the offset of -0.2 will be made.

2 Point Adjustment

The adjustment equation will be calculated from two points: the slope (a) and the intercept (b).
For example, the data logger is measuring 0.2°C and 9.6°C , but the standard says the actual measurements should be 0°C and 100°C. Enter 0.2 and 9.6 in the "Before" boxes and 0 and 10 in the "After" boxes. In this case the slope (a) is (10 - 0) / (9.6 - 0.2) = 1.06.
The conversion equation is Y=1.06X-0.213 with the intercept being -0.213.

Important Notes
  • Making adjustment settings will not guarantee the improvement of measurement accuracy for the whole measurement range.
  • If you replace a sensor that was connected when making adjustment settings, it is necessary to re-make any desired settings to be written into the newly connected sensor.
  • By making new adjustment settings to an already adjusted device without first clicking the Initialize button, the new adjustment equation will be used to further adjust the previously adjusted result. Please be careful that in this case, the difference between the actual measurement (original value) and the post-adjusted value will be bigger than it should be.
    EX: When changing 0 to 0.1 (+0.1) in the first adjustment and 0 to 0.2 (+0.2) in the second adjustment, the difference will be 0.3 (0.1+0.2).
  • For "2 point Adjustment", it is important to make sure the points are not too close to each other. The probability of measurement errors will increase in other ranges outside of the two points. It is recommended to make the space between the two points 20% or more of the measurement range for the Remote Unit.
  • When carrying out adjustment to the slope, adjustments will become larger in areas outside of the 2 points which were entered.

Device Lock

When Device Lock is set to ON, instead of a measurement, the word "LOCK" and the lock icon are displayed in the Top screen.


How to Turn off LOCK display (restart communication)
  1. Tapping "LOCK" will open the Registration Code entry screen.
    Enter the 8-digit number that is printed on the supplied Registration Code Label.

  2. Your smartphone or tablet will resume communication with the logger and start plotting in the Graph View screen. Measurements will be displayed upon return to the Top screen.
    Note: The lock icon will remain on until the Device Lock setting is turned off.


How to Remove the Device Lock
  1. After turning off the LOCK display, tap Operations Icon in the Top screen.

  2. In the menu which appears, select "Device Settings".

  3. Tap "Device Lock" and change to OFF.
    The lock icon will disappear upon return to the Top screen. Now the device is unlocked, and operations from any smartphone, tablet, or device with Bluetooth low energy are possible.
