12 Introduction
What is Web Wing WL RTR-5W ?
The RTR-5W not only serves as a base station for the wireless
downloading of recorded data from our Push Wireless RTR-61
Series Data Loggers, but, moreover, the Web Wing WL RTR-5W
serves as a network base station that allows you to gather recorded
data via LAN or Internet connection.
NOTE:
- The RTR-5W is designed solely for network communication. It does not include any
RS-232 or USB communication interface. To make use of this product you must
connect it to a network. Moreover, in order to use this product via the Internet you will
need other devices (such as a router) and must rst make necessary arrangements
with a provider for a line and get a xed IP address, domain, etc....
- When making settings in an RTR-5W without any settings already made (when
purchased or after resetting), it is necessary to carry out these settings using a wired
LAN connection. After having made all the necessary settings via the wired connection,
it is possible to use a wireless LAN connection.
NOTE: About the Explanation of RTR-5W
- This manual only provides information about RTR-5W which is
necessary in order to carry out operations with "RTR-61 for Windows
(EU)".
- For more detailed info about RTR-5W functions, see the product
introduction page on our Website.
Compatible RTR-5W :
Internal Script Version 1.45 or above
RF Version 1.4.x or above

14 Introduction
What is Communication Port RTR-50?
The Wireless Communication Port RTR-50 (Unit Ver.2-1-x or
highrer) is a base unit designed to carry out wireless
communication with our RTR-61 and to be connected to a
computer via a USB cable to gather data from and control the
loggers. Also, by setting up an RTR-50 between the RTR-50
designated as the Base Unit and the RTR-61 Remote Data Logger
Unit, you can use any RTR-50 as a Repeater for wireless
communication.
NOTE:
- "RTR-61 for Windows (EU)" can only be used when the PC
communication connection is with a USB Cable.
- RTR-50 (Ver.2-1-x) can also be used with our Thermo Recorder RTR-5
Series loggers if software designed for that purpose is used. Please see
our Website for details.
- In order to carry out wireless communication between an RTR-61 Data
Logger and an RTR-50 Base Unit, it is rst necessary to register the
Data Logger as a Remote Unit of that RTR-50 via optical communication
using the supplied optical communication adaptor (RTR-06A1).
- If the distance between an RTR-50 Base Unit and an RTR-61 Remote
Unit exceeds the possible range of wireless communication, it is
possible to set up one or, if necessary, multiple RTR-50 Unit(s) as
Repeater(s) between them in order to route wireless communication
from the Base Unit to the Remote Unit.

16 Introduction
What is "RTR-61 for Windows (EU)"?
"RTR-61 for Window (EU)" is software designed to be used with
our wireless core temperature data logger, RTR-61. This user
friendly software enables the user to download data, view data lists
and save data to les, as well as make important logger settings.
Using our exclusive short-range wireless technology it is possible
to carry out Remote Unit Registrations and make Operational
Settings between an RTR-50 or RTR-5W Base and RTR-61 Data
Loggers via wireless communication. If you wish to use an RTR-50
as a Repeater, it is also possible to carry out Repeater Registration
and make other Operational Settings.
- The wireless communication range, if unobstructed and direct, is about 100 meters.
- Depending on the location of loggers, Repeaters may be necessary for
communication.
