Sensors

Optional Sensors
We oﬀ er a wide range of Temperature and Temperature-Humidity sensors, sensor extension cables, AC adaptors, etc. For details see the Optional Products information on the Product Page.
tandd.com/product/tr7wbnw_series.html
Thermocouple Sensors (for TR-75wb/75nw)
We do not handle the sale of Thermocouple sensors. Please purchase separately.

External Power Supply

It is possible to use USB bus power, AC adaptor (AD-05A2 or AD-05C2: sold separately), or PoE ( only) as a power source. When using an external power supply, installing batteries will make it possible to continue recording in the event of a power outage.
Important Notice for Using an External Power Supply
When using external power, the data logger itself generates heat and the internal sensor of the TR-71wb/71nw will report a higher temperature than actual; we recommend using an external temperature sensor. Also, when an external sensor is used near the TR-7wb/nw Series, it may be aﬀected by the heat from the logger.

T&D WebStorage Service

“T&D WebStorage Service” is a free web-based cloud storage service provided by T&D Corporation. By uploading recorded data to “T&D WebStorage Service”, it is possible to access your important data from any place in the world at any time you wish.webstorage-service.com

wb GMT +1:00 (for serial number “No.4XXXXXXX”)
GMT -8:00 (for serial number “No.3XXXXXXX”)
nw GMT +0:00 (for all serial numbers)

Software for TR-7wb/nw Series

T&D Graph
“T&D Graph” is a software program that enables the viewing of recorded data in graph form, whether the data is stored on a local computer or at “T&D WebStorage Service”. Even if the data you wish to view is divided into multiple ﬁles, it is possible to merge them into one graph by specifying the device name and/or time period. The graph data can be saved as a graph ﬁle (.trg) or a text ﬁle (csv).

T&D Data Server
The PC on which “T&D Data Server” has been installed can act as a server that receives and stores data recorded by TR-7wb/nw Series data loggers to the user-speciﬁ ed folders. The stored data can be viewed in the graph using “T&D Graph” or monitored using a web browser. When you wish to have recorded data automatically uploaded to your server rather than “T&D WebStorage Service”, please use this software.
