What are "Base Units", "Remote Units" and "Repeaters"?
The following terms are used throughout this Manual. The definitions of
the terms are as follows:
Base Unit
This term is used to refer to any RTR-500DC unit that has been set up as Base
Unit. A Base Unit collects current readings and data measured by and recorded
in Remote Units via wireless communication as well as carries out monitoring.
Remote Unit
This term is used to refer to any RTR-500 Series Data Logger that has been
registered as a Remote Unit. A Remote Unit measures and records various items
such as temperature, humidity and so on. The wireless communication range
between a Remote Unit and a Base Unit, if unobstructed and direct, is about 150
meters (500 ft).
RTR-501 / 502 : Temperature
RTR-503 : Temperature and Humidity
RTR-574 : Illuminance, UV Intensity, Temperature and Humidity
Repeater
This term is used to refer to any RTR-500 unit that has been registered as a
Repeater. If wireless communication cannot successfully be carried out due to
obstacles, or if you wish to extend the wireless communication range, please add
Repeater(s) between Remote Unit(s) and the Base Unit.
