*1: Make sure to use the data logger within the operating environment as listed in the specifi cations.
*2: When used in environments where temperature and humidity are over the values of 50°C 75%, 60°C 50%, 70°C 35%, and 80°C 25%,
sensor hysteresis may fl uctuate by values greater than ±1.5%RH. Under certain circumstances, it may take some time to return to nor.
*3: Stated value is the measurement accuracy of the CO2 sensor when Auto Calibration is operating properly. A change in atmospheric
pressure directly infl uences the reading of CO2, which can cause measurement errors; a decrease in pressure by 10hPa result.
*4: Only “Endless” is available when using RTR-500W for Windows.
*5: Battery life varies depending upon the ambient temperature in which it is used, the recording interval, the frequency of communication, and
the battery performance. All estimates are based on operations carried out with a new battery and are in no way.
The specifi cations listed above are subject to change without notice.
Cautions about using the Temperature/Humidity Sensors
• If extremely severe temperature changes occur, the humidity measurements may appear
abnormal. Once the sensor's temperature becomes stable, the measurements will return to
normal.
• Do not connect the sensor to any data logger other than those specifi ed by T&D Corporation.
• Do not expose the sensor to a strong impact. This may adversely affect measurement accuracy
and cause damage or malfunction.
• When the sensor is not to be used for a long period of time, please store it at normal
temperature and humidity.
• Do not use the sensor on the human body.
• Continued use may cause a decrease in the sensor’s accuracy and sensitivity even under
normal operational conditions. We suggest changing the THA-3001 after about one year of use.
If the sensor is being used in a bad environment (smoky or dusty places) it may be necessary to
change the sensor sooner.
• This sensor is not water resistant. Do not allow the sensor to become wet. If the sensor gets
wet, immediately remove the sensor from the unit and wipe it with a clean cloth as soon as
possible. Then allow the sensor to dry in normal room temperature before using it again.

DANGER
To Prevent Serious Accidents
Do not disassemble, repair or modify the unit and accessories.
Do not use the unit in any environment that is exposed to chemicals and harmful gases. Doing
so may cause corrosion and/or other danger to the unit. Also, coming in contact with hazardous
substances may cause bodily harm to the user or people nearby.
This Unit is not waterproof. If water or a foreign object enters the case, immediately remove
batteries and stop using it.
Do not insert or replace batteries or sensors with wet hands.
This unit has been designed for private and/or industrial use only. It should not be used in
situations where strict safety precautions are necessary such as with medical equipment, or in
systems directly or indirectly connected with human life or well-being.
We shall not guarantee the unit's operation if it has been connected to a PC using a USB hub or
a USB extension cable.
Do not drop or expose the unit to a strong impact.
Do not cut or process the sensor cables. Also, do not twist, pull on or swing any of the cords.
To prevent damage to the unit from static electricity, remove static electricity from your body by
touching metal around you (such as a door knob and window frame) before touching the unit.
Place and store the unit and accessories out of the reach of children.
Further, T&D is not responsible for any damage, malfunction or trouble, whether direct or
indirect, caused by the use of our products.
Do not use any power or sensors other than those specifi ed by T&D Corporation.
If the unit produces heat, emits smoke or a strange smell, or makes unusual noise, immediately
remove the batteries and stop using it.
CAUTION
Do not place or store in the following areas:
• Areas exposed to direct sunlight
• Areas subject to high temperatures such as near fi re or heating equipment
• Areas exposed to static electricity
• Areas exposed to strong magnetic fi elds
• Areas exposed to dampness
• Areas subject to condensation or wet areas
• Areas exposed to excessive vibration
• Areas exposed to excessive smoke, dust or dirt.
CAUTION
Other Precautions
• Use the unit in the specifi ed operating environment. Do not use it for any purpose other than for which it was
designed.
• Condensation may occur inside the case when a unit is moved from one environment to another where there is
a great difference in temperature. Be careful to avoid condensation.
• Do not use the unit in wet areas or places exposed to water such as bathroom.
• Do not insert any foreign objects into any of the units' jacks.
• If the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean cloth.
• Please note that this Introductory Manual has been written based on the presupposition that details about
set-up of any necessary equipment to enable network connection have already been taken care of by the
user and that connection has been confi rmed as workable. T&D Corporation shall not be responsible for any
damages which a contractor, a user or a third party may suffer, whether direct or indirect, due to the inability to
communicate or use communication devices.
CAUTION
Notes and Precautions for Installing Wireless Communica-
tion Devices
When installing wireless communication devices take special care in selecting locations so as to ensure
proper communication. Note that even after a successful installation, due to changes in environmental
conditions, communication errors may occur when restarting the system.
• As far as possible, try to keep wireless communication devices away from metals and set them up in high
unobstructed positions.
• Please take note that in many instances, walls, fl oors, stairs, fences and desks will contain metals. In order to
carry out communication between indoor and outdoor units, please locate indoor units near a window so that
radio waves can be easily transmitted.
• Please install the Unit more than 30 cm away from walls or boards containing metal.
• If the Unit is placed in a metal container such as a freezer or refrigerator, the possible wireless communication
range will be shortened. In most cases radio waves are transmitted via doors and door openings so place the
Unit as near to doors as possible.
• As far as possible, keep the Unit away from noise-emitting sources.
• Equipment such as some industrial instruments, electronic devices or fl uorescent lamps generate noise. Please
place the Unit more than 1 meter away from such devices.
• Please place the Unit more than 1 meter away from computers and other devices which emit noise.
• Keep all wires as far away from wireless communication devices as possible. Please be careful about placing
near any wiring or cables such as power supply cables, telephone wires or LAN cables.
• Objects which contain lots of water, such as plants or soil, absorb radio waves. We highly recommend that
such materials should not be placed between or near wireless communication units.
• When measuring temperature in a greenhouse it has been reported that as plants grew, communication errors
also increased.
• Do not place the Unit directly on the ground.
• Do not place Units which are using the same communication frequency channel in the same area. If the same
channel is used for multiple units not only will more communication errors occur, but battery life will also be
shortened.
• If there is a possibility that Units with the same frequency channel will be in wireless communication at the
same time, please make sure to make changes to the frequency channels so they are not the same.

Auto Calibration Function for CO2 Sensor Accuracy
What is "Auto Calibration" ?
Auto calibration is a function designed to enable long-term accurate measurements by
adjusting the lowest CO2 concentration measured in a certain period of time to the set
standard measurement in the air (atmospheric CO2 levels of 400 ppm).
• The factory default setting for auto calibration is enabled.
Turning ON and OFF Auto Calibration
Turn off auto calibration (*1) when continuously measuring in an environment where
measurements are greatly different from the standard 400ppm CO2 concentration. Then, to get
more accurate measurement results, place the RTR-576 in general atmospheric environment
and periodically check if the CO2 concentration gets closer to 400ppm or not. If not, we
recommend that you carry out manual calibration (*2).
*1: To change settings, it is necessary to download "Adjustment Tools" application (free) from our website. Detailed info
can be found below.
*2: Manual calibration is expected to be performed no more than once a month. Operational procedures and other
reference info can be found below.
