◆About the TR-5320, the standard temperature sensor for RTR-71
Use the sensor only within the measurable temperature range
(-60 to 155℃).
The sensor cable is coated with Teon®. The coating is
thin and if scratched or torn will cause a reduction in water
resistance. Please check before using.
To ensure accurate measurements, make sure to insert the
end of the sensor at least 3 cm into the object or area.
Please make sure that the external temperature sensor jack is
securely inserted into the main unit.

vi
This sensor cannot be used with RTR-72.
◆About the TR-3220, the standard temp.&humidity sensor for RTR-72
Use the sensor only within the measurable temperature and
humidity range.
(Temperature: 0 to 50℃, Humidity: 10 to 95%RH)
Please make sure that the external sensor jack is securely
inserted into the main unit.
The unit may give an error in humidity value if there is a rapid
change of temperature. However, the value will return to
normal after the sensor temperature stabilizes.
The Temperature/Humidity sensor cable cannot be extended.
When the sensor is not used, put it in the attached plastic bag
with a drying agent and keep it in a cool, dark place at 5 to
25℃ and 30%RH or less.
This sensor is not waterproof.
This sensor cannot be used with RTR-71.

vii
Handling Instruction for TR-3220 Temp. and Humidity Sensor
●The replacement period for the standard sensor is 1 year. Replace it when 1 year
has passed after opening the bag. When using the Temperature and Humidity
Sensor, the surface can become dirty and may decrease its sensitivity and
accuracy. Therefore, if the unit is being used in a dusty or smoky environment, it
may be necessary to change the sensor sooner than usual.
●When the sensor is not used, put it in the attached plastic bag with a drying
agent and keep it in a cool, dark place at 5 to 25℃ and 30%RH or less.
●Two types of sensor seals are pasted on the sensor. If the seal shows
abnormality (appears red), replace the sensor as soon as possible.
◆Water Leakage Sensor Seal
The seal turns red in an abnormal state. This indicates that the sensor has gotten wet.
Normal
Normally will appear with
white background and black
dots. Abnormal
Under abnormal conditions
will turn RED.
◆Temperature Sensor Seal
This indicates that the sensor was exposed to a temperature of 60℃ or higher.
Normal
Seal is light pink with the
gure "60" slightly readable.
Abnormal
Seal turns bright red in
abnormal state and the gure
"60" is clearly displayed.

Outline of Wireless Thermo Recorder RTR-71/72
The System
Wireless Downloading Function
Prossible to gather and manage data from a variety of places without direct
wire connnection
A revolutionary system that allows you to measure and record temperature in each
Remote Unit and by making use of wireless communication, allows you to gather
that data to your computer, where you can create and view in colorful graph form.
Communication can take place within up to 400 meters if unobstructed and clear.
(Note: This may differ with specic conditions.)
Possible to mix RTR-71 and RTR-72 in same group
The Base Unit is set up to communicate with Groups of Remote Units. One Group
can contain up to 126 Remote Units and up to 32 Groups can be registered to 1
Base Unit.
Each Thermo Recorder can be set up as you wish
Any Thermo Recorder Unit can be set up and registered to carry out any of the
three roles in the system: Base Unit, Relay Unit or Remote Unit.
Base Unit:
The Base Unit is directly connected to your computer and functions to send out
orders via short wave wireless communication to Remote Units, as well as gather
recorded data. Besides inserting the lithium battery, please make sure to connect
the Base Unit to a power source using the AC adapter supplied with the software
set (RTR-70). The Base Unit cannot measure, record or display temperature or
humidity.
