Install the Batteries
When a battery is installed, the measurement will start at the
factory default settings or the previously set ones.
Factory Default Settings
Recording Mode: Endless
Recording Interval: 10 minutes
Recording Start Method: Immediate Start
1.
Remove the screws and open the cover.
2.
Insert the supplied battery with tube into the case as shown in the
diagram below.
3.
Check the rubber packing for any cuts or scratches and close the
cover as it was when opened.

• Make sure to use the proper type and size screwdriver. (Phillips head #1
screwdriver is recommended.)
• If dirt or scratches are present on the rubber packing, water resistance will be
reduced.
• 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 a battery warning mark appears, try to replace the battery
with a new one as soon as possible.
1.
When it is time for the battery to be
replaced, a battery warning mark will
appear.

2.
If you do not change the battery and continue using the RTR-501,
RTR-502, or RTR-503, the display will alternately flash [bAtt] and
the current temperature. The RTR-507 will alternately flash [bAtt]
and [
], and then stop the measurement. In this condition,
recording will continue for both types of units.

• At this point the downloading of data can no longer be done via wireless
communication.
• Using optical communication to download data without changing the battery
may cause the battery life to be shortened even more and result in the loss of
recorded data during communication.
3.
If the battery is further left unchanged, the display will
automatically shut off.
• All of the recorded data up until that point will be erased.
If the battery is replaced after the display turns
off completely, [CHEC] will appear on the display
after which recording will begin again using the
previously set recording conditions.

What is a Wireless Thermo Recorder?
These products are data loggers designed to measure and record
temperature and humidity with built-in wireless communication
capability.
No longer it is necessary to manually gather the data loggers. Rather
via our special radio communication function, data download, settings,
analysis and the saving of data can all be done via a wireless Base Unit
connected to your PC.
RTR-501, RTR-502, RTR-503, and RTR-507 are Remote Units. They require
Base Units to carry out wireless communication.
For details about available operations via wireless communication or how to
make recording settings, see the Introductory Manual included with the Base
Unit or see the application’s Help.
Please set up the Base Unit first before the Remote Unit.

Reading the LCD Display
The LCD may become difficult to read when used in very hot or cold
environments. This is a characteristic of the LCD panel and not a
malfunction.

Units of Measurement
Recording Mode [ ONETIME ]
When the recording mode is set to One-Time Mode (Stop recording when capacity is
full), this mark will appear.
Measurement and Message Display Area

Getting Remote Units Ready
[Memory FULL]
When the recording mode is set to "One Time" and the
logging capacity becomes full, recording will stop and
[FULL] will be displayed. This message will not appear in
the "Endless" mode.
Logging Capacity
RTR-501 / 502 ( Logging Capacity: 16,000 data readings)
EX: Recording Interval of 30 seconds x data readings of 16,000 = 480,000 seconds (about 5 days and 13 hours)
RTR-503 / 507 (Logging Capacity: 8,000 data sets)
EX: Recording Interval of 30 seconds x data readings of 8,000 = 240,000 seconds (about 2 days and 18 hours)

[Check]
This will be displayed under the following conditions:
The first time a battery was inserted after purchase
When the battery is replaced after having been taken out
for a long period
[Wireless Transmission]
This will appear when data is being sent via wireless
communication to the Base Unit.
[Measurement Range Exceeded] (for RTR-502)
The current temperature display will blink when the
temperature goes below -60 °C or above +155 °C.
[No Sensor] or other
This will appear when a sensor is not connected or the
wire is broken. It will also appear on the RTR-507 when
the measurement range is exceeded or the measurement
is stopped due to low battery. Note that recording will
continue to consume battery power.
Notes about Battery Installation
• If a new battery has been installed and recording does not immediately start,
nothing appears in the display or any other such malfunction, please remove
the battery, check to make sure plus and minus are correct and re-insert the
battery.
• After inserting the battery for the first time, nothing may appear or occur for
about 10 seconds; this is not a malfunction.
• If + (plus) and – (minus) are mistaken, or if the battery ter and – are
shorted, the recorded data that is stored in the unit will be lost.
• When inserting a battery, make sure no water or foreign objects get inside
the case.
About Lithium Batteries
• When using an LS14250 type lithium battery, even though a new battery has
been inserted the [
] or [
] indicator may remain on for a short time.
This is due to a special characteristic of the battery. Note that the longer the
battery has been in storage the longer the amount of time, from 10 minutes
to about 1 hour, the battery warning mark will remain on. If during that time
the Base Unit is used to get the current status of the Remote Unit, the
remaining battery level will show that the battery level is low.
• Please store the LS14250 in a place that is 20°C or less.
• The estimated battery life of the Lithium Battery LS14250 is about ten
months if recorded data is downloaded once a day or the monitoring occurs
once every 10 minutes.
• When using lithium batteries other than LS14250 produced by SAFT, such as
CR2, product specifications cannot be guaranteed nor can the performance
of some functions, such as the battery warning function.
• Please avoid using the CR2 in the following situations:
Using the unit in an environment below 0 °C or above 60 °C
Exposing the CR2 to continuous vibration such as in transportation
• When using a CR2 lithium battery, the tube is not necessary.
• To maintain waterproof capacity, when changing batteries also change the
rubber packing and the drying agent (silica gel). When using a CR2 lithium
battery, please purchase the optional Maintenance Set (TR-00P1) to replace
the rubber packing and silica gel.
About using in Low and High Temperature environments.
• Use in low temperature environments will result in a shortening of the battery
life.
-20°C : one half of life compared to normal temperatures
-30°C : one third of life compared to normal temperatures
• Although under normal temperature environments the [ bAtt ], [
] or
[
] mark may not appear, it may still become impossible to carry out
communication in low temperatures.
• Use in high temperature environments will also cause the battery life to be
shortened. In environments of 60°C or higher, not only will battery life be
shortened but the unit itself and its parts will deteriorate more rapidly. Please
do not use in such environments for prolonged periods of time.
60°C : one half of life compared to normal temperatures
Optical Communication (Communication with PC)
Optical Communication is carried out by placing a data logger
(Remote Unit) face down on the Base Unit connected to the PC.
Make sure to align the optical communication areas and slitted
areas.
Operations that require Optical Communication
• To register as Remote Unit(s) and make necessary settings by using the
software supplied with the Base Unit.
• To download recorded data directly from Remote Unit to PC.
• If the battery level of the data logger is very low or optical communication is
carried out in very hot or cold environments, communication may be broken or
may not be possible.
• For details about Remote Unit registration and settings, see the application's
Help
