Humidity calibration
The humidity sensors in the testostor 171 series (Type
171-2/1722/171-3 with integrated Testo humidity sensor
or Type 171-1/171-6 with humidity/temperature probe
which can be connected separately) must be checked in
accordance with application conditions and recalibrated
if there are large deviations.
The recommended control cycles range from yearly
intervals when the loggers are used for room climate
measurements to monthly controls under extreme
conditions when harmful gases or dusty air are present.
Find out which protective cage is suitable for your
sensor, in accordance with your application.
To control and calibrate the humidity sensors, a control
and adjustment set (Item no. 0554.0660) is available as
an accessory. The set consists of two small containers
with saturated salt solutions which permanently produce
humidity values of 11.3 and 75.3 %RH.
Remove the protective or the sintered cap and ensure
that the temperature and humidity sensor look to be in
order.
In the case of Type 171-2/1722/171-3 (with integrated
sensor) the humidity containers are screwed on directly.
An adapter for the separate humidity probe is included
with the calibration set which you can attach to the 12
mm probe. Screw the probe together with the adapter
into the container (the standard protective cap should
remain on the probe, the sintered cap should be
removed).
Screw on the 11.3 %RH container and wait until the
required thermal and humidity balance is reached
(recommendation: 30 min, 60 min is preferable). A stable
temperature between +20 to +25 °C is important in this
case.

Adjustment
The second window (activate by setting the button to
Adjustment) in HUMIDITY CALIBRATION is not an
alternative for adjustment. However, it provides the
option of moving the characteristic curve parallel in a
small working range, if the data is correct at the
calibration points (11.3 or 75.3 %RH ± 2 %RH) to, for
example, superimpose the calculated values (dew
point and absolute humidity) with a reference
instrument.
Example: Drying, dew point range approximately -20
°C td. A standard humidity adjustment is often
insufficient since deviations of less than 0.1 %RH can
lead to integral modifications in the dew point display.
Move the point in the bar so far until the calculated
values correspond to the exact values or enter the
%RH values directly. It must be guaranteed that the
logger sensor system and the reference instrument
have the same climatic conditions (the same
temperature is particularly important).
The humidity containers are not needed for this fine
adjustment in the 0.1 %RH humidity range.
You can revise the humidity adjustment via the reset
button. The software then brings the factory values
again.
On the job...
Humidity calibration
External humidity probes (connected to socket 1)
should be configured in the PROBE CONFIGURATION
mask prior to calibration
Connect the logger to the PC
and open the main instrument
window. Select the HUMIDITY
CALIBRATION window in
OPTIONS. The measured
Actual
values
are shown in the
additional window which
appears. When the
Actual
value
is stable, confirm with
the
11.3 %
button so that the
calibration is saved directly in
the probe/instrument, the old
calibration data is discarded
and the actual value shows
11.3%. Repeat the process
with the 75.3 %RH container
(adaption time is also 30 min
to 1 h).

Battery life
The testostor 171 series is equipped with long-life Li
batteries which guarantee operation for several years.
Battery life is reduced by above-average PC
communication e.g. by longer online measurements. The
calculated remaining capacity is given in percent. The
diagram below provides information on the battery life
possible with testostor 171-0.

Changing batteries - Battery life
If your measurement program exceeds the remaining
calculated battery life or if the logger interrupts the
measurement series due to insufficient battery capacity
(warning appears) the battery must be changed. The
logger usually stops the data measurement
independently just before the end of the battery life so
that the logger can be read with the remaining battery
capacity.
When a battery is changed, the saved measured data
is lost (the calibration data is saved). In case of
emergency, please contact an authorised service
point.
You can change the battery yourself using the battery
set which is available as an accessory (Item no.
0515.0018). Please proceed as follows:
1. Remove the black cover plugs at the back of the
instrument. Unscrew the 4 screws crosswise and
remove the screws.
2. Attach the enclosed jumper to the two pins on the
circuit board (near the battery minus connection).
3. Unscrew the screws on the battery terminals, take
out the old battery and dispose of it responsibly.
4. Put in the new battery. Select the correct polarity in
accordance with the length of the connections pins.
Insert the battery so that it is located on the foamed
material between the circuit board and the edge of
the housing.
5. Tighten the terminals.
6. Now remove the jumper.
7. Change the O ring on the cover.
The guaranteed
protection class
of IP65/68 applies
only if handled
with care.
To protect the lithium battery, the maximum
permissible storage and transport
temperature in the instruments is + 85 °C.

PROBE CONFIGURATION
Carry out the probe configuration shown in the table.
The probe configuration determines the following ...
CHANNELS
The channels/sockets of the connected data
logger type are available for selection.
PROBES
Select the probes from the list with which you
wish to work. The name “INTERNAL” in front of
the probe name indicates that it is an internal
channel (while “EXTERNAL” stands for external
channels).
UPPER/LOWER LIMIT VALUE
An upper and lower limit can be assigned to each
measurement channel. These limit values are
monitored in the logger. If the limits have been
exceeded, a limit counter allocated to the channel
calculates the number of measured values
outside the limit. This information is included in
the measurement protocol.
The exceeding of the limit can be indicated
acoustically (See OPTIONS). In testostor 1722, the
connected signal device gives off an alarm if the
programmed limit values are exceeded or are not
reached (acoustically and optically).
You can call up a table summarizing the number
of times the limits have been exceeded by
clicking twice in the limit value on the limit value
column.
The limit values, the number of values outside the
limits, the measurement duration and the amount
of measurement time outside the limits are
shown.
Description of the “testostor 171 V1.” dialog box
Once the data logger has been set up in INSTRUMENT,
NEW DEVICE, open the menu for the instrument icon
via the right mouse button. INSTRUMENT CONTROL
leads to the main window in which all of the status
information is clearly shown.
Here is the example of a programmed
logger.
LOGGER TYPE and SERIAL NUMBER
You are informed about the connected logger type and
its serial number. If you are using several data loggers
simultaneously you can differentiate between the various
logger using this information.
MAIN INFORMATION
Here you have the possibility of inputting freely
selectable information needed for programming. This
can include data on the sender or recipient, data on
transported goods etc. The input box has space for 250
characters.

Magnet start
Once programmed, the logger goes into standby
mode. The saving function is activated by placing
a magnet on the housing (where the Testo label
is). A successful start is confirmed audibly by a
buzzer sound. The start can be monitored via
display if a display module is attached.
WRAP-AROUND MEMORY
If the WRAP-AROUND MEMORY mode is activated, the first
readings are overwritten should there be no room for
additional readings in the logger during subsequent
measurements. Therefore the
last
55,000 or 20,000
readings (total of all channels) are always available in
the Type 171-3 logger.
MEASURING RATE
Enter the required rate frequency for the measurement.
The rate frequency should not be set at an unnecessarily
high level in order to protect the battery.
NAME
The character sequence input here accompanies the
data set (for identification when reading out, when
processing graphics or tables).
INFO
Number of readings
The total number of readings to be recorded per
channel, corresponding to your input for Start and
Measuring rate, are shown here.
Battery life
The testostor 171 series is equipped with long-life Li
batteries which guarantee operation for up to several
years. Battery life is reduced by an above-average
PC communication e.g. by extended online
measurements. The calculated remaining capacity is
indicated in percent.
Description of the “testostor 171 V1.” dialog box
NAME
If a piece of information is given a name specific
to the user, it is then possible, for example, to
identify the measurement location. 24 characters
are available.
MEASURING PROGRAM...
A measurement program is the information
required by the logger to save measured data in
the required form. An additional window is
opened for this purpose using the button.
START
The following is available as starting criteria:
a)
Time plan (
Date/Time)
The required starting or end time is input directly
in the marked boxes.
The suggested end time is calculated from the
rate of measurement and the memory available.
You can of course write over these values.
b)
Remote-control
Start PC via START/STOP button in the main
window.

Description of the “testostor 171 V1.” dialog box
ONLINE MEASUREMENT...
You can
- install the logger with an attached display module and
read off the readings from the display on site during
the measurement
or
- operate the logger like a measuring instrument using
your PC
With the logger activated, click on the green symbol in
the toolbar to start online measurement directly.
With this function, two situations are presumed.
a) If the logger does not save when online measurement
is activated, you will get the current values as measured
by the probes.
b) If the logger is activated and is already saving values
when online measurement is selected, there may be
delays of up to 3 seconds between the displayed online
readings and the actual readings since the saving
function has priority.
Therefore, it is recommended to switch off the saving
mode in the logger by newly programming or switching
off via the Stop switch.
OPTIONS...
The following Settings can be made in GENERAL
FUNCTIONS:
Acoustic signal when measuring
Should the data logger give off an audible signal (bleep
sound) during every measurement?
Acoustic signal outside limits
Should an audible signal (cricket sound) be given off
when limit values are exceeded?
Note: the relay in testostor 1722 is activated once the limit
values are determined in the probe configuration (See
page 23). The connected signal device is then in the
alarm standby mode.
Description of the “testostor 171 V1.” dialog box
OK/CANCEL
OK confirms your inputs while Cancel discards your
input. Following both commands, you will find yourself
back in the original window.
PROGRAM LOGGER...
The PROGRAM LOGGER command transmits the program
settings to the data logger. All of the contents of the
memory (all readings) are automatically deleted.
Successful transmission is confirmed by a message on
your screen. The data logger is activated and waits on
the decisive starting criteria. The measurement can then
start.
READ OUT MEMORY...
If a logger with data already saved is opened, the
measurement protocol appears as a symbol under the
logger symbol with the serial number. Click on this
symbol with your right mouse button. Another window is
opened offering you various reading out options. The
following are available:
- Read out or open all of the readings.
- Read out section:
• From ... to corresponding to
Date/Time
• From reading number
to
reading number
• The last ...values
(when the wrap-around memory is switched on).
Analysis of the measured data is
described in the Comfort Software
Instruction manuals.

PASSWORD
You can create a password, which will be saved in the
logger, via this button. If a password exists, it is required
before data is loaded up to the logger or readings are
read out of the logger. If an incorrect password is
entered, the function is not carried out.
If the function is confirmed without entering characters,
the password function is deactivated.
Changes to an existing password must be entered
beforehand.
If you have forgotten what your password is, please
contact our Service Department.
SAVING THE PROGRAM...
Program settings can be stored on a data carrier (hard
disk, disks etc.) to predefine certain standard
programming for the logger. These can be opened, if
required, via OPENING THE PROGRAM... and transmitted to
the logger.
OPENING THE PROGRAM...
You can load the programming data for the logger from
the disk via this button. In this way, loggers with
predefined standard programs can be programmed
without the need for time-consuming settings.
START/STOP
This button starts and stops measurements which were
programmed in the
Remote controlled
starting criteria.
Every
measurement can be stopped via the stop button.
Description of the “testostor 171 V1.” dialog box
The DATE and TIME are adapted to the date and time of
your PC via the
Synchronisation
button.
You can switch between °C and °F in UNITS.
The control box DERIVATE enables the additional
calculation of the derived values
Dew point
and
Absolute
humidity
(in g/m3).
HUMIDITY CALIBRATION
Via this button, you can access a window offering you
the option of calibrating the internal or external humidity
sensor (provided you have connected Type 171-1,171-2,
1722, 171-3 or 171-6 data loggers).
Selects from the options:
Calibration
Process to conform with the technical data of the
data logger i.e. the standard two point calibration with
11.3 or 75.3 %RH.
and
Adjustment
Fine adjustment to optimise the calculated
absolute humidity values in a limited measuring
range by parallel relocation of the calibration
characteristic curve (by comparing and matching with
a reference instrument e.g. with reference to °C td).
Calibration is described in the “On the job...”
Chapter.
