What is "RTR-500DC"?
Outline
The RTR-500DC is a user-friendly wireless communication Data
Collector designed for hand-held portability. Without having to manually
gather the data loggers, it is possible, via wireless communication, to
collect data from data loggers that have been registered as Remote
Units.
The data can then be easily displayed in graph form in the LCD display
of the Data Collector enabling the immediate on-the-spot checking of
data.
The RTR-500DC is compatible with any wireless Data Loggers in our
RTR-500 Series.
Compatible Data Loggers
RTR-501/502/503, RTR-574
Features of Wireless Communication Function
Downloading Data via Wireless Communication
The wireless communication range between a Data Logger and an RTR-500DC
is about 150 meters (500 ft). It is possible to download data from Data Loggers
without having to handle them. Moreover, by setting up a Repeater, it is possible
to extend the wireless communication range.
Monitoring / Warning Monitoring Function
Using the monitoring function, the RTR-500DC carries out wireless
communication at a set interval with the registered Data Loggers (Remote Units)
to monitor Current Readings and Remote Unit Status. If a warning occurs in a
Remote Unit for which the monitoring function is active, users will be notified by
"beeping" sound.
Registering up to 224 Data Loggers to one RTR-500DC
Up to 224 Data Loggers can be registered into one RTR-500DC. Data Logger
registration is carried out in Groups, each is assigned a frequency channel for
communication. Groups can be made and registered to match your purpose: by
location, by item and so on.
Operating Remote Units via Multiple RTR-500DC Units
Not only can one RTR-500DC unit be set up to manage a large number of
Remote Units, but multiple RTR-500DC units can be used to communicate, via
wireless communication, with one Remote Unit. The same Remote Unit can be
registered to multiple Base Units (RTR-500DC), either by using the software
"RTR-500DC for Windows" and copying the Base Unit registration information into
a multiple number of Base Units, or by using the "Visitor Entry" function by having
