T&D RTR502B User manual

Thank you for purchasing our product.
To ensure safe and proper operation, please read this guide thor-
oughly before use.
Overview
The RTR501B, RTR502B, RTR503B and RTR507B are wireless
data loggers designed to measure and record temperature
and humidity.
Recorded data is then automatically collected by the Base Unit via
wireless communication and downloaded for archive and analysis.
RTR501B / 502B / 503B / 507B require a Base Unit to carry out wire-
less communication.
(Compatible Base Units: RTR500BC, RTR500BW, RTR500BM, RTR-
500DC, RTR-500MBS-A, RTR-500, RTR-500NW/AW)
For the operation and conguration of the Base Unit, refer to
the instruction manual attached to the Base Unit or the RTR500B
Series Help available on T&D Website.
Wireless Thermo Recorder RTR501B / 502B / 503B / 507B is referred
to as the “(data) logger” or “device” in this manual.

Recording Start
Method
Immediate Start
• Make sure to use the proper type and
size screwdriver. (Phillips head #1
screwdriver is recommended.)
• Insert the supplied battery with the
tube attached. When using a CR2 lithi-
um battery, the tube is not necessary.
• Before closing the cover, check the rub-
ber packing for dust or scratches, as
they can reduce the water resistance of
the rubber.
• Be sure to completely close the cover.
Make sure not to over tighten the
screws.
• Appropriate Tightening Torque:
20N·cm to 30N·cm (2Kgf·cm to 3Kgf·cm)
Battery Replacement
When it is time for the battery to be
replaced, a battery warning mark will ap-
pear. Please change the battery as soon
as possible if this mark appears.
If you continue to use the logger without changing the battery, the
current temperature and [bAtt] will be displayed alternately and wireless
communication will stop. (Recording will continue.)
Alternating
Display
• If the battery is further left unchanged, the display will automatically shut
o and all previously recorded data will be lost.
• Although the logger continues to work for a period after the battery has
been removed, leaving the device without a battery until the LCD display
goes blank will cause all recorded data to be lost.
• After the battery installation, the battery warning mark may not disappear
from the logger’s LCD for 10 to 60 minutes. This is due to the characteristic
of the lithium battery and is not a malfunction of the logger or the battery.

*1: When continually used in environments with temperatures above 60 C, accuracy of humidity measurements will decrease over time. Also, humidity cannot be measured at temperatures below -20 C.
*2: Only “Endless” is available when using the RTR500BW, RTR500BM, RTR-500NW/AW or RTR-500MBS-A as a Base Unit.
*3: Bluetooth is available when using the RTR500BW or RTR500BM as a Base Unit and making device settings in the mobile app (T&D 500B Utility).
*4: When using RTR-500B1 it is necessary to purchase Lithium Battery (LS26500). For details, contact your local authorized distributor.
*5: RTR-500A2 should not be used with the RTR501B, as it will cause the RTR-501 to display a higher than actual temperature reading of up to 3°C.
*6: The listed battery life is based on the following usage conditions: Recording at 10 second (or longer) intervals, Current Readings Transmission every 10 minutes, and Recorded Data Trans-
mission once a day. Battery life also varies depending on ambient temperature, radio environment, frequency of communication, etc.

the logger reaches its logging capacity, recording will
automatically stop and in the LCD the measurement
and the word [FULL] will alternately appear.
The measurement and the word [SEnd] will alternately
appear when data is being sent via wireless communi-
cation to the Base Unit. Recording will continue during
wireless transmission.
[Ir] Mark
Indicates that the logger (Remote Unit) has not been
registered to the Base Unit or the wireless communi-
cation is stopped (inactive radio).
