OverviewThe testo 160 E is part of the testo 160 data logger family developed specifically for museums, archives and storage environments. It documents environmental conditions of exhibits, display cases and archival storage using discrete external cable sensors. The device supports configuration of internal sensors and external probes to match different monitoring situations. Operation and programming of the data logger are carried out via the Testo Cloud. The logger transfers data via your existing Wi‑Fi network and stores readings in an internal memory buffer for later upload.
Your advantages- Plug in up to two out of three available probe types (temperature & humidity, lux, or lux & UV).
- Optional paintable deco cover to conceal the logger in exhibits.
- Logger sends data to the Testo Cloud using an existing Wi‑Fi network; alarms via email (Basic License) and optional text messages with Advanced License.
- Simple to install, integrate, and operate.
- Data transfer by wireless LAN (Wi‑Fi).
- Unobtrusive design to avoid distracting from exhibits.
Key product features- Two connection ports for external probes (choose from temperature & humidity probe, lux probe, or lux & UV probe).
- Internal memory buffer for up to 40,000 readings (stores data in case of temporary network loss).
- Alarm thresholds configurable per logger in the Cloud; triggered alarms are sent immediately by email or optional SMS.
- Data accessible at any time from any browser‑enabled device (smartphone, tablet, PC/Mac) via the Testo Cloud.
- Optional paintable deco cover for inconspicuous installation.
- Can be powered by 4 x AAA alkaline batteries or by an external USB power supply (batteries used as backup during power loss).
