3. Settings and Communication
1. Outline
To start and stop recording, make or change the various recording settings and/or collect data please see the
following instructions.
For details about how to change settings and about communications please see the User's Manual that comes
with the RTR-57U. You can also find detailed information in the User's Manual that accompanies the software
(Thermo Recorder for Windows) and in the Help Menu of the software.
◆Optical Communication with an RTR-57U
By simply placing an RTR-52Pt unit face down on an RTR-57U you can carry out recording start settings and
changes, as well as, collect recorded data via optical communication.
◆Using Wireless Communication with an RTR-57U Unit
By registering an RTR-52Pt unit as a Remote Unit of an RTR-57U, it is possible to carry out wireless data
communication (special short wave radio) allowing you to start and stop recording, make recording condition
settings and collect data without having to handle the RTR-52Pt units.
2. Getting Started
NOTE:
●When changing batteries make sure to carefully read "5. Changing Batteries".
●Upon first installation of the batteries, measuring and recording will automatically begin at the factory
set default recording settings: (Recording Interval: 10 minutes / Endless Mode / Immediate Start)
●After replacing the batteries the settings will return to the most recent recording settings.
●If necessary make changes to the default recording settings according to your usage and needs. If
you are going to be using wireless communication it is necessary to register the [Group Name] and
[Remote Unit Name] information at this time. See "3. Settings and Communication"
◆Insert the batteries
Thermo Recorder RTR-52Pt is a Data Logger designed to be used with a platinum
resistor (Pt100/Pt1000) sensor for measuring and recording temperature. The data
recorded with the RTR-52Pt can easily be downloaded via special short wave
wireless communication to an RTR-57U Data Collector, where the data can be
saved. Then it is possible to download the data to your computer for data analysis
and management with our exclusive software. Communication between units can be
done via optical communication, as well as wireless communication.
Basic Functions of RTR-52Pt
■Wireless Communication Function
Via special short wave radio communication recorded data can be downloaded from
an RTR-52Pt unit and saved to the RTR-57U Data Collector Unit. Recording settings
and recording start can also be controlled via wireless communication.
●Wireless Communication can occur between an RTR-52Pt Unit and an RTR-
57U Unit within a range of up to about 100 meters, if unobstructed and direct.
NOTE:
In order to collect data via wireless communication, it is necessary to register via
computer the RTR-52Pt unit as a Remote Unit in the RTR-57U Unit you wish to use. For
details about making these settings, please see the Help Menu in "T&D Recorder for
Windows" or the User's Manual for "T&D Recorder for Windows".
●Wide Temperature Measurement Range
The RTR-52Pt with a platinum resistor (Pt100/Pt1000) sensor can measure and
record in a wide range of -199.9 to 600℃.
◆Communication with your Computer
By placing an RTR-52Pt unit face down on an RTR-57U unit that is connected to your computer, you can make
any necessary recording conditions settings and changes, start recording and download recorded data easily
via your computer display.
Place the RTR-52Pt unit face
down on the RTR-57U
●If you are going to be using wireless communication
it is necessary to register the [Group Name] and
[Remote Unit Name] information in the RTR-57U
units.
●The wireless communication range, if unobstructed
and direct, is about 100 meters. In some cases
communication cannot take place even within 100
meters. Please check first by carrying out the
wireless communication test with the remote units.
5. Changing Batteries
NOTE: After removing the old batteries, replace them with new batteries within 1 minute.
1. When the battery power becomes low, the [BAT] indicator will appear on the LCD display.
Once the [BAT] indicator appears please change the battery as soon as possible.
Recording: OK
Wireless Communication: OK
Data Download: OK
●The recorded data will remain saved.
●If at this time a new battery is placed in the unit, recording will continue.
●After changing the battery, the [BAT] indicator will disappear in a short time.
2. If you do not change the battery and continue using the unit, the temperature display will intermittently
display [bAtt]. Please change the battery at once.
Recording: OK
Wireless Communication: No
Data Download: No
●The recorded data will remain saved.
●If at this time a new battery is placed in the unit, recording will continue and downloading of saved data can be done.
●After changing the battery, the temperature display will return to displaying only the temperature after which the BAT indicator
will disappear a short time later.
3. If you do not change the battery even under conditions in 2 above, the REC indicator will disappear and
temperature display area will display [SLP]. ("SLP" stands for "Sleep Mode".)
Recording: No
Wireless Communication: No
Data Download: No
●Recording will stop and recorded data until this point will be saved.
●If at this time a new battery is placed in the unit, downloading of saved data can be done. To start recording again please set the
recording conditions via your computer or RTR-57U and begin recording. See "1. Outline"
●After changing the battery, the temperature display will return to displaying the temperature.
4. If you do not change the battery even under conditions in 3 above, the display will go blank.
●All of the recorded data will be erased.
●If at this time a new battery is placed in the unit, [CHEC] will appear on the display after which recording will begin again using
the previously set recording conditions.
■Setting the Recording Conditions
The recording conditions include [Recording Mode], [Recording Interval], [Start
Recording Date and Time] and [Unit of Temperature]. Detailed instructions on
how to change these settings are provided in the User's Manual for either the
RTR-57U.
●Recording Mode: Select from two types of Recording Mode
ONE-TIME MODE:
When the data capacity of 16,000 readings is reached, the LCD display
will indicate [FULL] and recording will stop.
ENDLESS MODE:
When the data capacity of 16,000 readings is reached, the data will be
erased in order from the oldest data first and recording will continue.
*Below is an estimate of the amount of time it will take for the unit to
become [FULL] in the ONE-TIME MODE.
Calculation Example:
30sec (recording interval) x 16,000 readings (capacity limit) = 480,000
seconds = about 5 days and 13 hours.
Recording Interval 1 second 30 seconds 15 minutes 60 minutes
Time period 4 hours

■Starting and Stopping Recording
You can make settings to control the starting and stopping of recording.
NOTE:
● By starting a new recording, all data previously stored in the data logger unit will
be erased.
● If you want to save the data make sure to download it and save it in an RTR-
57U Unit or in your computer before starting a new recording.
4. About the LCD Display
①Recording Status. (REC)
LIT UP: displayed during recording or when FULL of data.
BLINKING: displayed when waiting for a programmed recording to start.
②Low Battery Life Warning Indicator:
Displayed when time to change the battery.
③Unit of Temperature Measurement: select from ℃ (Celsius) or ○F
(Fahrenheit)
④ Temperature Measurement Display
●Check
This is displayed under the following conditions: after purchasing and putting in
the batteries for the first time, if the battery terminals +/- were mistaken and a
short occurred, or if the batteries are replaced after having been taken out for
a long period. If this is displayed, all data that had been stored in the main unit
has been erased.
●Full Memory
If recording under the ONE-TIME MODE, when the data readings reach the
upper limit of 16,000 readings, recording will stop and this will be displayed
intermittently with the current temperature.
●Wireless Transmission
This will be displayed when transmitting data to an RTR-57U unit via wireless
communication.
●No Sensor Connected
Displayed when a sensor has not been connected or the wire has been broken.
Measurement and recording will continue and battery power consumed.
●Measurement Over Range
Temperature display blinks when the temperature goes below -199.9℃ or
above 600℃. While blinking, measuring and recording still continue. However,
note that the displayed temperature should be used only as a rough guide.
When the temperature cannot be displayed, a blinking [----] sign will appear.
Note:
Use in cold environments may cause the display to be difficult to read; this is not a malfunction.
