2. Connecting an Input Module

Insert the module into the module jack. Once the Unit recognizes the module, the LCD display will change as shown 
below and recording will start. (If you have purchased an RTR-505-P, the Unit has been ready for the pulse measure-
ment by default, therefore recording will start upon installation of the battery.

The factory default settings are as follows: Recording Interval at 10 minutes, Recording Start at Immediate Start, Recording Mode at Endless.

Make sure that the module is completely 
inserted until you hear a “click” sound.

1. Installing the Battery

Cover

Rubber 
Packing

Lithium Battery
(inserted into tube)

Screws

1

Remove the screws and open the cover.

Make sure to use the proper size and type of screwdriver. (Phillips head #1 screwdriver is recommended.)

2

Insert the included battery.

Do not remove the battery from its tube casing.

 

- If using a CR2 lithium battery, the tube is not necessary.

3

Check the rubber packing for any cuts or scratches and close the cover as it was when 
opened.

 

- Dust or defects on the packing can adversely affect the waterproof capacity; in this case, remove the dust or replace the pack-

ing if it is damaged.

 

- Be sure to completely close the cover.

 

- Make sure not to over tighten the screws. 

(Appropriate Tightening Torque: 20N cm to 30N cm{2Kgf cm to 3Kgf cm})

 Notes about Battery Installation

 

- After inserting the battery for the fi rst time, nothing may appear or occur for about 10 seconds; this is not a malfunction.

 

- If a new battery has been installed and nothing appears in the display, please remove and reinsert the battery.

 

- When inserting a battery, make sure no water or foreign objects get inside the case.

 

- Make sure that + and - are in the correct direction.

 About Lithium Batteries

 

- Lithium batteries CR2 sold in stores may also be used, but if you are using in an environment below -20°C, above 60°C, or in a 

situation such as transportation where continued vibration is likely to occur, we strongly suggest the purchase and use of the our 
lithium battery LS14250. (Please purchase the optional battery set TR-11P2 in which LS14250 is included.)

 

- When using a LS14250 type lithium battery, even though a new battery has been inserted the battery warning mark may remain 

on for a short time. This is due to a special characteristic of the battery. Note that the longer the battery has been in storage the 
longer the amount of time, from 10 minutes to about 1 hour, the battery warning mark will remain on. If during that time the Base 
Unit is used to get the current status of the Remote Unit, the remaining battery level will show that the battery level is low.

 

- Please store the lithium battery LS14250 in a place that is 20 °C or less.

 

- When changing a CR2 battery, we strongly suggest changing the rubber packing and the drying agent. Please purchase the 

maintenance set TR-00P1 sold separately.

  RTR-505 is a Remote Unit.  In order to use wireless 

communication,it is necessary to purchase a Base Unit 
separately. (Compatible Base Units: RTR-500, RTR-500NW, 
RTR-500AW)

  Wireless Data Recorder RTR-505 is referred to as the “Unit” 

in this manual.

Outline of RTR-505

External Input Module Type
Splash proof (rated for use in daily life)

RTR-505 is a data logger designed to measure and 
record different items depending on the input module to 
be connected: temperature (thermocouple/Pt), voltage, 
4-20mA, and pulse.  The body is splash proof (rated for 
use in daily life), which can be placed in an environment 
between -40 and 80

°

C.  Recorded data can be 

automatically collected from the RTR-505 via wireless 
communication with the Base Unit (sold separately), and 
also viewed in graph and table form as well as printed 
out by using the supplied software.

Package Contents: 
Data Logger (RTR-505), Tubed Lithium Battery (LS14250), 
Input Module(*), Strap, User's Manual (this manual 
including warranty) 

* An input module included in the package differs 
depends upon which "set model" has been purchased. 

3. How to Read the LCD Display

 When being used in very hot or cold environments the display may become difficult to read. This is not a malfunction.

Basic LCD Display

 

[REC] Mark

The recording status will appear.

ON: Recording in progress 
BLINKING: Waiting for programmed start

[ONETIME] Mark

When the recording mode is set to "One Time", this 
mark will appear. The factory default setting is "End-
less" and this mark will not appear.

Battery Warning 
Mark

When it is time for the battery to be replaced, this 
mark will appear.

  Measurements and 

Messages Area

Measurements or operational messages will appear 
here.

Sensor Type

Types of sensor connected or set to the Unit will 
appear.

Thermocouple Sensor: K, J, T, S 
Platinum Thermal Resistance Sensor: Pt (Pt100), 
PtK (Pt1000)

Unit of Measurement

The unit of measurement for the display will appear.

Battery Replacement Sign

1. 

When it is time for the battery to be replaced, a battery 
warning mark will appear.

 

Please replace the battery as soon as possible if this 
mark appears.

2.

If you do not change the battery and continue using the 
Unit, the measurement display will intermittently 
display [bAtt].

 

- After this point the downloading of data can no 

longer be done via wireless communication.

 

- Without changing the battery and attempting to use 

optical communication to download recorded data, 
the communication may be broken and if so all 
recorded data may be lost.

 

- Recording will be continued.

3.

If the battery is further left unchanged, the display will 
automatically shut off.

If, at this time, a new battery is placed in the Unit, 
[CHEC] will appear on the display after which record-
ing will begin again using the previously set recording 
conditions. Note however that all previously recorded 
data will have been lost.

Estimated Battery Life

When a battery warning mark appears, try to replace the battery with a new 
one as soon as possible.

In a normal temperature environment, where recorded data is downloaded 
once a day or if monitoring is carried out once every ten minutes:

Set Model Number

Recording Interval: 1 
second

Recording Interval: 10 
seconds or longer

RTR-505-TC

About 10 months

About 10 months

RTR-505-Pt

About 10 months

About 10 months

RTR-505-V, RTR-505-mA

About 10 months

About 10 months

RTR-505-P (Input: Open)

About 20 months

About 10 months

RTR-505-P (Input: Short)

About 20 months

About 10 months

 

- When the average reading recording function is enabled for the RTR-505-V or RTR-

505-mA, the battery life will be the same as when the recording interval is one 
second regardless of the actual recording interval.

 

- The battery warning mark may appear sooner than noted above.

 

- Battery life will be shortened if used under the following conditions: downloading 

data very often, setting the recording interval at less than ten seconds, or measuring 
in an environment below -20 °C (-4 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F).

 Notes about Changing the Battery

 

- Before replacing a battery, please make sure to download any necessary data and 

proceed with changing the battery.

 

- If + (plus) and – (minus) are mistaken, or if the battery ter and – are shorted, 

the recorded data that is stored in the Unit will be lost.

 

- Downloading of data cannot occur while the battery is removed.

Display Example for Each Model

Display varies on different models as shown below.

RTR-505-TC (Thermocouple)

Temperature measurement will be displayed. (Unit: 
°F / °C) Sensor type will be displayed under the 
measurement; the factory default setting is Type K. 
By using the software included with the Base Unit, 
you can change the sensor type.

RTR-505-Pt (Pt100 / Pt1000)

Temperature measurement will be displayed. (Unit: 
°F / °C) Sensor type will be displayed under the 
measurement; the factory default setting is Pt100. 
By using the software included with the Base Unit, 
you can change the sensor type.

RTR-505-V (Voltage)

Voltage measurement will be displayed. (Unit: V / 
mV) Due to the wide measurement range, the Unit 
has been set by default to adjust the decimal point 
automatically to display the measurement in V. By 
using the software included with the Base Unit, you 
can change the unit of display.

RTR-505-mA (4-20mA)

4-20mA measurement will be displayed. (Unit: mA)
