Getting the RTR-574
(Remote Unit)
Ready to Use
Please get the Base Unit ready first before the RTR-574
(Remote Unit).
1.
Install the Battery.
Remove the battery cover and insert the
battery, making sure that the + and – are in the
correct direction.
Be sure to completely close the cover.
2.
Connect the included Sensors.
The Sensor Jacks are common for both
sensors. The Temperature/Humidity Sensor and
the Illuminance UV Sensor can be connected to
either jack.
3.
Turn ON the Power.
Press the POWER button until the LCD display
appears.
4.
Register the Remote Unit by using the
software supplied with the Base Unit.
When the direction appears in the software window, connect the Unit to
the computer.
USB Communication Cabel
Battery Replacement Mark and Message
When it is time for the battery to be replaced, a battery life
warning signal will appear. While this mark is on display, wireless
communication may be broken or may be impossible.
If you change the battery while the mark
is displayed, recording will continue
uninterrupted.
If the battery is not changed, but remains in
use, [SLP] will appear in the LCD display.
Recording will stop in order to protect
recorded data until this point.
- Recording will not be resumed even if the battery is changed at this point.
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 + (plus) and – (minus) are mistaken, or if the battery terminals + and – are
shorted, the recorded data that is stored in the Unit will be lost.
- If the Unit is left without a battery for some time, all data may be lost, so please
work quickly when changing the battery.

FULL Memory Capacity
When Recording Mode has been set to “One
Time” and the Unit reaches its capacity of 8,000
readings, recording will automatically stop and
in the LCD the current measurement and the
word “FULL” will alternately appear.
Sensor Unconnected
This will be displayed when a sensor has not
been connected or the wire has been broken.
- Measurement and recording will continue so battery
power will be consumed.
- If after re-connecting the sensor and measurements can
still not be displayed, it is very possible that the sensor or
the Unit are defective or have been damaged.
POWER Button
Use this button to turn ON/OFF the Power.
ON:
Press the POWER button.
OFF:
Press the POWER button until the LCD displays "OFF".
- During recording, the power cannot be turned off by pressing the POWER button
on the Unit. Please stop recording first and then turn off the power.
- If there is ample battery power remaining in the Unit, even if the power has been
turned off, the recorded data will be saved.
DISPLAY Button
Use this button to change the LCD Display Pattern.
There are two LCD display patterns for readings:
An Alternate Display and A Fixed Display.
The factory default setting is an Alternate Display between Illuminance
and UV Intensity.
With each pressing of the button the measurement items will be shown
alternately in the following order for a Fixed Display:
Illuminance (lx, Klx) UV Intensity (mW/cm
2
) Temperature (°C,°F)
Humidity (%) Cumulative Illuminance (lx
.
h, Klx
.
h, Mlx
.
h) Cumulative Amount
of Ultraviolet Light (mW/cm
2
.
h, W/cm

.
h) Back to the Alternate Display
When the desired measurement item for a Fixed Display appears, stop
pressing the button.
Alternate Display:
The LCD display shows all or selected multiple measurement items in
turn.
- Make settings for the measurement items to be displayed via the software supplied
with your Base Unit.
Fixed Display:
The LCD display shows one measurement item specified by pressing the
DISPLAY button.
Cumulative Illuminance and Cumulative Amount of
Ultraviolet Light
Cumulative Illuminance and Cumulative Amount of Ultraviolet Light
are the numerical values obtained by accumulating measurement
readings from recording start until stop.The timing of accumulation
will be the same as when the display is refreshed.
Button Operation
If no operations can be performed using buttons on the Unit, it means the buttons have been de-activated via the software
supplied with the Base Unit.
INTERVAL Button
Use this button to check and change Recording Interval Setting.
The factory default setting for the recording interval is 10 minutes.
10 MIN
10 SEC
Checking the Recording Interval:
By holding the INTERVAL button down, the currently set recording
interval will appear on the LCD display.
- If no operation is carried out after the recording interval has been displayed, the
current measurement readings will return to the LCD display.
Changing the Recording Interval:
With each pressing of the button while the recording interval is on
display, the interval time will change as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 seconds /
1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 60 minutes
When the desired recording interval appears, stop pressing the button.
- Changes can only be made when recording has been stopped.
REC/STOP Button
Use this button to Start and Stop Recording.
By starting a new recording session, all data currently
saved in the Unit will be erased.
Start Recording:
Press the REC/STOP button until the [REC] mark
appears on the display.
Stop Recording:
Press the REC/STOP button until the [REC] mark
disappears from the display to stop recording.
- Make settings for the recording mode (Endless / Onetime) via the software
supplied with the Base Unit.
- It is possible to start recording even if the Unit is waiting for a programmed
recording to start. All programming is done via the software which comes with the
Base Unit.
