T&D RTR501B User manual

Thank you for purchasing our product.
To ensure safe and proper operation, please read this guide
thoroughly 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-
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 Thermo Recorder RTR501B / 502B / 503B / 507B is re-
ferred 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
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 and Settings
Via Software and Optical Communication
Connect the Base Unit to a PC with a USB cable, and place the data

RTR-500 (*9)
*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 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: Battery life depends on several factors, including ambient temperature, radio environment, frequency of communication, recording interval, and quality of the battery being used. All esti-
mates are based on operations carried out with a new battery and are in no way a guarantee of actual battery life.
*7: This is the waterproof capacity of the data logger with the sensor connected. Note that the temperature-humidity sensor is not water resistant.
*8: A rmware update is required to a RTR500B series compatible version.
*9: A software update is required to a RTR500B series compatible version.
The specications listed above are subject to change without notice.
