This page will be helpful for

  • Site supervisors and construction managers want to streamline temperature checks during concrete curing.
  • Quality control personnel who want to keep a record of temperature history and use it for sharing and reporting.
  • Those who want to review their temperature control methods during winter construction
  • For those considering a temperature logger that is easy to use in the field.

Why is ease of temperature control during curing important?

When monitoring the temperature during concrete curing, it's crucial not only to measure the temperature but also to check the conditions at necessary intervals, record them as a history, and share them with relevant parties.

Especially in the field, load of moving around to check temperatures, organizing records, and creating reports tends to accumulate, so there is a need for recording equipment that is easy to use.

Do you have any of these concerns?

  • Manual data logging and record verification are time-consuming.
  • It is difficult to immediately check the temperature history on site.
  • Creating reports and sharing data is time-consuming.
  • The logger settings and operation are complex and difficult to use.
  • I'm looking for a temperature recording device that's easy to use on-site.

Points that make the MR532N useful in field operations

On-site efficiency

1. Easy to check the recorded temperature history on the spot.

Temperature data recorded by the smart card logger can be easily transfer to a smartphone via NFC communication. features it easy to check temperature history on-site and simplifies the verification process.

Record keeping and operation

2. Recording, transfer, and checking can be easily done primarily using a smartphone.

The dedicated app allows you to check the status, start recording, stop recording/acquire data, view a list of recorded data, configure device settings, set a passcode, and initialization the logger. This makes it easier to manage data digitally, without relying on paper records.

Streamlining reporting

3. Easily connects to sharing and reporting tasks.

The measurement data can be display in models and PDF report models. You can also access the recorded data by connecting your smartphone to your PC via USB, configuration easier to streamline reporting tasks.

Points that are easier to review compared to conventional operations

Comparative perspective Conventional operation When using MR532N
Check temperature history This is often done after collection or during a separate process. Easy to check by holding your smartphone over it.
operational load It can be time-consuming to check, organize, and share. Recording, transfer, and checking can be easily done using a smartphone.
Report support This often requires separate organization. Supports display reports in CSV/PDF models.
Ease of use on site Wiring and verification methods can sometimes become complicated. NFC communication, one-touch connection, and IP64 rating make it suitable for field use.

Main features

  • Simply hold your smartphone over the thermocouple (T) to obtain temperature measurement data.
  • Alarm settings can be configured via a smartphone app.
  • When an alarm is triggered, the LED on the logger unit display flash.
  • Recording settings can be configured via a smartphone app
  • Improved data acquisition efficiency (collecting 2000 data points in approximately 10 seconds)
  • Extended lifespan (battery life approximately 2000 hours, depending on conditions)
  • Recorded data is retained even if the battery runs out
  • Measurement data display as a report in models and PDF models.
  • Thermocouples can be easily connected with a one-touch lighting connector.
  • No dedicated equipment is required; operation can be primarily done via smartphone.

In addition to concrete curing, the MR532N can also be used for temperature control applications such as refrigeration, freezing, environmental measurement, and testing and research equipment.

What you can do with a smartphone app

Status check You can check the current status and temperature of the device itself.
Recording begins You can set the recording interval, start date and time, and end date and time, and then start recording.
Recording complete / Data acquisition After recording stops, a summary of the saved data display
List of included data You can display a list of saved data, send it via email, and delete it.
Device settings Equipment name, group number, project name setting, alarm setting, offset setting, channel name setting, etc.
Passcode setting It is possible to set a passcode required for logger operation.
Logger initialization It is possible initialization to shipment settings.

The recording method supports "same-day recording," which starts immediately, and "scheduled recording," which allows you to set start and end times.
