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
LCD Display
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 Optical

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-500NW, RTR-
500AW, RTR-500, RTR-500DC)
Wireless Data Recorder RTR-505 is referred to as the "Unit"

1. Installing the Battery
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.
Screws
- 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.
Cover
(Appropriate Tightening Torque: 20N cm to 30N cm{2Kgf cm to 3Kgf cm})
Notes about Battery Installation
Rubber
Packing - After inserting the battery for the first 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 which includes an LS14250.)
- When using an 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
Lithium Battery
Unit is used to get the current status of the Remote Unit, the remaining battery level will show that the battery level is low.
(inserted into tube)
- 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.

(*1) Measurement items other than Pulse will have different measurement range depending on the Input
Module and sensor to be connected. For details, see the User's Manual included with the Input
Module.
(*2) When using RTR-500NW or RTR-500AW as a Base Unit, only "Endless" can be selected.
(*3) The included lithium battery (LS14250) is not sold in stores. Please purchase the optional battery
set for low-temperature use (TR-11P2) for replacement.
(*4) Battery life varies depending upon the connected Input Module, measuring environment, frequency
of communication, Unit settings, and battery performance. For details, see "Estimated Battery Life"
in this manual.

2. Connecting an Input Module
Insert an Input 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 set by default to start
recording upon installation of the battery.)
- The factory default settings are as follows: Recording Interval:10 minutes, and Recording Mode: Endless.

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 "Endless" and this mark will not appear.

Battery Replacement
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:
Recording Interval: 1 Recording Interval: 10
Set Model Number
second 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 10 months About 10 months
RTR-505-P (Input: Short) About 10 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 when: downloading data very often, setting the record-
ing 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 terminals + 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.
Example of Display
Display varies depending upon the model being used.
RTR-505-TC (Thermocouple)
Temperature measurement (Unit: °F / °C) will be
displayed. 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 (Unit: °F / °C) will be
displayed. 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 (Unit: V / mV) will be dis-
played. 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 (Unit: mA) will be displayed.
