Communication with a PC enables the following:
By using a software included with the Base Unit, it is possi-
ble to carry out Remote Unit registration, change recording
settings in the Unit, download recorded data to a PC, and
view downloaded data.
The factory default settings are as follows: Recording Interval at 10 minutes, Record-
ing Start at Immediate Start, Recording Mode at Endless, Infrared Communication at
Forbid.
Notices about Optical Communication with a Base Unit
- Proper communication may not be possible in the following situations: where tem-
peratures are very high or very low,

4. Registering as a Remote Unit (Communicating with a PC)
In order to download data from the Unit via wireless communication or change recording settings in the Unit, it is necessary to
register a RTR-505 Unit as a Remote Unit to a Base Unit (sold separately). Remote Unit registration can be carried out using a
software included with the Base Unit, by connecting the Base Unit to a PC with the USB cable and then using optical
communication to carry out communication with the Remote Unit.
For details about available operations via wireless communication or how to make recording settings, see the Introductory
Guide included with the Base Unit or see the application’s Help.
DANGER
Do not take apart, repair or modify the Unit.
It may result in malfunction or unexpected accidents.
Do not use any other batteries than those that are specifi ed in this manual.
It may cause re or malfunction.
If water or a foreign object enters the case, immediately remove the battery
and cease using it.
It may result in malfunction or unexpected accidents.
Store the Unit and accessories out of the reach of children.
Not doing so may cause an unexpected accident.
If any smoke or strange smells are emitted from the Unit, immediately remove
the battery and stop using.
Continued use may cause re or electrocution.
Please be careful not to touch the Unit during or after use in overly hot or cold
environments; it may cause burns or frostbite.
CAUTION
This Unit has been designed for private and/or industrial use only. It is not for
use in situations where strict precautions are necessary such as in connection
with medical equipment, where directly or indirectly.
Harmful gases or chemicals may cause corrosion and/or other danger to the
Unit. Also, by coming in contact with hazardous substances, harm may occur
to the people handling the Unit. Therefore, do not use or store the Unit in any
environment that is exposed to chemicals and harmful gases.
Battery life varies depending upon measuring environment, frequency of
communication, Unit settings, and battery performance.
When using the Unit in a low-temperature environment (below -20 ｰ C), the
battery power will be depleted more quickly than when using under normal
temperature conditions.
Battery terminals may provide insuffi cient contact due to age or vibration.
This may lead to data loss.
The Unit becomes splash proof (rated for use in daily life) only after the input
module has been connected.
Without the module connected, neither the module jack nor the connector part of the temperature
sensor on the Unit is water resistant; make sure not to get wet.
If the Unit is not to be used for a long period of time, store it in a place where it
is not exposed to high temperature and high humidity.
If the Unit has condensation on the inside, it may cause malfunction and damage.
Do not remove or reinsert the battery once it has been set; continue using until
battery power is depleted. Always use a new battery for replacement.
Not doing so may result in improper operation.
To maintain waterproof capacity, we suggest periodically changing the parts
inside the case.
If the rubber packing should be damaged or deteriorated, please replace it along with the drying
agent.
If the Unit is subjected to signifi cant temperature change while wet, it may
cause condensation inside the case.
Especially be careful with temperature changes from high to low; if the Unit has condensation on
the inside, it may cause malfunction, damage, and/or unexpected accidents.
Do not drop or expose the Unit to a strong impact.
It may cause damage or malfunction.
Do not put fi ngers or foreign objects into the modular jack.
Do not use or store the Unit in places such as listed below. It may result in
malfunction or unexpected accidents.
- Areas exposed to direct sunlight
- Areas exposed in water or high-pressure water ow
- Areas exposed to organic solvents and corrosive gas
- Areas exposed to strong magnetic elds
- Areas exposed to static electricity
- Areas near re or exposed to excessive heat
- Areas exposed to excessive dust, dirt and smoke
Contact with oil may cause cracks to appear in the casing of the Unit.
When using this Unit in environments where such oils are present, please
insure that it is protected from contact through use of a polyethylene bag or
other means.
Notices about using the Input Modules
When making Adjustment Settings in the Adjustment Tools application, the
adjustment values will be saved to the input module. Therefore, when an input
module is replaced, it is necessary to re-make any desired adjustment settings to be
written into the newly connected module.

3. How to Read the LCD Display (continued from previous page)
RTR-505-P (Pulse)
There are two display methods for the pulse measurement. By using the
software included with the Base Unit, you can change the display method.
Pulse Rate (Max: 61439)
The most recent pulse count for the recording in-
terval period will be displayed. (Unit: P) The display
will be refreshed every one-sixtieth of the recording
interval (at minimum of every one second). 10,000
pulse count will be displayed as "10.00kP", in units
of 10 pulse for display.
Total Pulse Count
The cumulative number of pulses will be displayed
from 0 to 9999. (Unit: P) The displayed count will
be refreshed every one second, and after reaching
10,000 it will start the count over again from 0.
Other Marks or Messages on Display
Logging Capacity FULL
When Recording Mode has been set to “One Time” and the
Unit reaches its logging capacity of 16,000 readings, record-
ing will automatically stop and in the LCD the measurement
and the word “FULL” will alternately appear.
Estimation of time until FULL is displayed
Recording Intervals 1 second 30 second 1 minute 10 minute 60 minute
Period About 4 hours About 5 days
About 11
days
About 111
days
About 1 year and
10 months
Wireless Communication
The measurement and the word "SEnd" will alternately
appear when data is being sent via wireless communi-
cation to the Base Unit. Recording will continue during
wireless transmission.
Check
If this appears, all data that was stored in the Unit will
have been erased.
This message will appear under the following conditions.
- The rst time a battery was inserted after purchase
- If the battery is replaced after having been taken out for a long period
- If the battery is replaced after the battery power has been lost.
Input Module Unrecognized (factory default status)
This will appear if the input module has never been con-
nected to the Unit after purchase. (no unit of display)
Note that a RTR-505-P has been set to measure Pulse by
default, therefore the unit "P" will be displayed.
Input Module Unconnected or Damaged
This will appear if the Unit cannot con rm a connec-
tion with the input module after having recognized it.
(with unit of display)
If nothing is displayed after reconnecting the sensor to the
Unit, there is a possibility that the sensor or the Unit has been
damaged.
Sensor Unconnected or Damaged
This will be displayed when a sensor has not been connect-
ed to the module or the wire has been broken. Recording is
in progress and so is battery consumption.
If nothing appears on display after reconnecting the sensor to
the Unit, there is a possibility that the sensor or the Unit has
been damaged.
Measurement Range Exceeded
The message "OL" will appear if a measurement ex-
ceeds the measurement range.
Display Range Exceeded
When measuring voltage, the measurement in LCD
display will blink if a measurement exceeds a set dis-
play range. (if the Unit has been set to "decimal xed
point" for display.)
