About Data Collector RTR-57C
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-Tem-
perature data, RTR-53-Temperature and Humidity data, and RVR-52-Voltage,
Pulse and Event data) can be transmitted to the RTR-57C 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-57C 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-71S/72S) 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-57C to collect recorded
temperature data from the RTR-51/RTR-52/ RTR-53 and RVR-52 units via our
exclusive short-wave wireless technology. The RTR-57C 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 100 meters
if unobstructed and direct.
Note: If collecting data via wireless communication, it is necessary to rst 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-57C
RTR-57C is designed to manage the RTR-5 Series Units in groups. 1 RTR-57C
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-57C can be set to
handle 15 groups with each group containing 250 RTR-5 Series Units.
Monitoring Function
With RTR-57C, 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.
