About Data Collector RTR-57U

◆Outline

Our revolutionary Wireless RTR-5 series is a system wherein the various

kinds of data measured and recorded by our data logger units (RTR-51/

RTR-52:Temperature data, RTR-53:Temperature and Humidity data and

RVR-52A:Voltage, Pulse, Event and Soil Moisture data) can be transmitted

to the RTR-57U Data Collector via short wave radio communication. The

Data Collector can then be connected to your computer to enable easy

downloading and total data management. The RTR-57U Data Collector

can also be used to start recording and collect, check, and edit data on

site for any of the units in the TR-5 Series (TR-51A/52) and/or the TR-7

Series (TR-71U/72U) making it unnecessary to collect the units and take

them to your computer to carry out these functions.

◆Basic Functions

●Wireless Data Communication Function

Our Thermo Recorder RTR-5 Series utilizes the RTR-57U to collect recorded

data from the RTR-51 / RTR-52 / RTR-53 and RVR-52A units via our exclusive

short-wave wireless technology. The RTR-57U also allows you to wirelessly

control recording settings and start recording, as well as other functions of the

data loggers. Communication is possible to a distance of up to 330 ft [100m] if

unobstructed and direct.

Note

If collecting data via wireless communication, it is necessary to ﬁrst set up the

RTR-5 Series Units as Remote Units in your computer.

●Register up to 3,840 RTR-5 Series Units on 1 RTR-57U

RTR-57U is designed to manage the RTR-5 Series Units in groups. 1 RTR-57U

Unit can be set up to manage up to 60 groups, with each group containing up to

64 RTR-5 Series Units. If being set up via computer each RTR-57U can also be

set to handle 15 groups with each group containing 250 RTR-5 Series Units.

●Monitoring Function

With RTR-57U, you can wirelessly monitor current temperature readings of one

group of RTR-5 Series Units, with the readings being sequentially displayed on the

unit.

Note

If monitoring is carried out on a regular basis the battery life of the RTR-5 Series

Units will be shortened. For example, if the monitoring interval is set at 1 minute

the battery life will be about 4 months.

●Easy Data Collection from a Variety of Unit Types

Data downloading can be carried out with any RTR-5 Series Unit via wireless

communication or by simply placing it face down on the communication pad area.

Data from other types of units can be downloaded via the provided communication

cable.

●Data Capacity: 260,000 Readings

The RTR-57U has a large enough capacity to collect data from 16 RTR-5 units at

full capacity. If not at full capacity, the RTR-57U can collect and manage data of up

to 250 data downloading sessions.

●Graph Display

The RTR-57U gives you a high quality graph display of collected data whether it be

temperature, humidity, voltage or pulse. By using the handy operation dial or the

buttons on the front of the main unit you can easily scroll left and right across the

graph display; giving you the data you want in an easy to check format.

●Event List Display

The event data recorded on the RVR-52A can be downloaded and instantly

displayed in an easy to read list. By using the handy operation dial or the buttons

on the front of the main unit to scroll up and down the list you can easily check the

event data.

●Radio Wave Monitor

Check the condition of radio wave transmissions.

●Handy Operation Dial

By simply moving the dial up and down you can scan the menu and make a

selection by simply pressing in on the dial.

●Monitor Temperature while Downloading

By making upper and lower limit settings on the RTR-57U you can monitor the

recorded data as it is collected for irregularities and the results will be displayed.

If any RTR-5 Series Unit has already been set with its own upper and/or lower

limit, those values will take precedence over the values set in the RTR-57U.

●Manage Recording Settings without a Computer

Besides controlling the collection of data, the RTR-57U can manage various

recording settings such as: Recording Mode, Recording Interval, Programmed

Recording Settings and Immediate Record. This enables the user to easily control

various recording settings for a variety of models on-site without the need for a

computer.

●Battery Life Warning Display

When the battery power goes low, a battery life warning will be displayed. If the

battery is not changed the unit will automatically go into sleep mode.

33 4

●Trustworthy Backup Function

If, after the battery warning display appears, the battery power goes even lower

the unit will automatically go into sleep mode. Although, in sleep mode, the unit

cannot be operated and power cannot be turned on, all data will be safely stored

without loss.

Note

If after going into sleep mode, the battery is not changed for about 1 month (for

Ni-Cd (Nickel-Cadmium) batteries 1 day), or if the battery is left out of the main

unit for more than 2 minutes, all data will be lost.

●Over 100 Hours on 2 Alkaline Batteries

The RTR-57U takes advantage of our exclusive circuitry design to bring over 100

operating hours worth of power on only 2 AAA alkaline batteries. Energy efficiency

is further enhanced with our Auto Power Off Function.

Note

Battery Life varies according to type of battery, measuring environment,

transmission frequency, and ambient temperature. This estimate of battery life

was based on normal use under normal conditions using a new batteries. This is

in no way or manner a guarantee of battery life.

●Auto Power Off Function

To save battery energy the main unit will automatically be turned off when not in

use for 3 minutes.

●Backlit Display for Viewing in Dark Places

The RTR-57U comes equipped with a backlit display for easy viewing even in hard

to see places. The light can be switched ON/OFF in the main menu. If set to be

ON, it will light up when operation begins and automatically turn off when

operation stops for a few seconds, saving battery energy.

Note

If an outside power source is being used, the back light function will normally be

ON.
