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

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.)

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 down-
loaded once a day or if monitoring is carried out once every ten minutes:
Set-Model-Number Battery-Life-(Recording-Interval:-10-seconds-or-longer)
RTR-505-TC About-10-months
RTR-505-Pt About-10-months
RTR-505-V About-10-months
RTR-505-mA About-10-months
RTR-505-P About-10-months
- - 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.
