Wireless Data Recorder
RTR505B User’s Manual
Thank you for purchasing our product.
To ensure safe and proper operation, please read this manual
thoroughly before use.
Overview
RTR505B is a data logger designed to measure and record
dierent items depending on the input module to be con-
nected: temperature (Thermocouple, Pt), analog signal
(4-20mA, DC voltage), and pulse.
Recorded data is then automatically collected by the Base Unit via
wireless communication and downloaded for archive and analysis.
As a Remote Unit, RTR505B requires a Base Unit to carry out wire-
less communication.
(Compatible Base Units: RTR500BC, RTR500BW, RTR-500MBS-A, RTR-
500DC, 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 Data Recorder RTR505B is referred to as the “(data) logger”
or “device” in this manual.

Operational Status
• Before using the pulse input cable, it is necessary to set the measurement item to “pulse
type” in the Remote Unit Settings of the application.
• In order to change the measurement item, initialize the Remote Unit without connecting
the input module and then redo the Remote Unit registration and settings.
Make sure that the module is completely
inserted until you hear a “click” sound.
Installing the Battery
Recording starts automatically by inserting the battery with the
default or previous settings.

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
rubber packing for dust or scratches,
as they can reduce the water resis-
tance 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
appear. 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.
Remote Unit Registration
Using the software of the compatible Base Unit, carry out Remote
Unit Registration via optical or Bluetooth.
Optical Communication
Connect the Base Unit to a PC with a USB cable, and place the data
logger face down to align the communication areas as shown below.
Bluetooth® Communication
When the RTR500BW is a Base Unit, it is possible to make Base Unit
and Remote Unit settings from nearby mobile devices using Bluetooth.
Package Contents

Basic Measurement Display
Display varies depending upon the input module connected.
Temperature (Thermocouple / Pt100 / Pt1000)
Temperature measurement (Unit: °F / °C) will be
displayed. Sensor type will be displayed under the
measurement; the factory default setting is Type K
and Pt (Pt100). The sensor type setting can be
changed in the Remote Unit Settings of the
application.
Voltage
Voltage measurement (Unit: V / mV) will be displayed.
Due to the wide measurement range, the device has
been set by default to adjust the decimal point
automatically to display the measurement in V. The
unit of display can be changed in the Remote Unit
Settings of the application.
4-20mA
4-20mA measurement (Unit: mA) will be displayed.
Pulse
There are two display methods for the pulse measurement. The display
method can be changed in the Remote Unit Settings of the application.
Pulse Rate (Max: 61439)
The most recent pulse count (Unit: P) for the recording
interval period will be displayed. The display will be
refreshed every one-sixtieth of the recording interval
(at minimum of every one second). 50,500 pulse count
will be displayed as [50.50P] with “K“below the
measurement value. The display is in units of 10 pulses.
Total Pulse Count
The cumulative number of pulses (Unit: P) will be
displayed from 0 to 9999. The displayed count will be
refreshed every one second, and upon exceeding
9999, the count will start over again from 0.

Data Transmission via Wireless Communication
The measurement and the word [SEnd] will alternately
appear when data is being sent via wireless communica-
tion to the Base Unit. Recording will continue during
wireless transmission.
Input Module Unrecognized (factory default)
This will appear if, after purchasing, the input module has
never been connected to the logger. (No unit displayed)
Input Module Unconnected or Damaged
This will appear if the device cannot conrm a connection
with the input module after having recognized it. (Unit of
Measurement displayed)
• If nothing is displayed after reconnecting the module to the device, there is a possibility
that the module or the device has been damaged.
Sensor Unconnected or Damaged
This will be displayed when a sensor has not been
connected to the module or the wire has been broken.
Recording is in progress and so is battery consumption.
• If nothing appears on display after reconnecting the sensor to the device, there is a
possibility that the sensor or the device has been damaged.
Measurement Range Exceeded
[OL] will appear if a measurement exceeds the measure-
ment range.
Display Range Exceeded
When measuring voltage in mV range, the measurement
in the LCD display will ash if it exceeds the display range
of the device.
