The RTR-50 wireless data logger series is a simple way to set up a network to gather temperature, humidity, voltage, event-time or pulse-counting data up to 100m from a basestation.
The RTR-50 wireless data logger series is a simple way to set up a network to gather temperature, humidity, voltage, event-time or pulse-counting data up to 100m from a basestation.
In fact, the logger modules can be mounted on moving equipment and the data downloaded later as you drive by with the handheld base unit.
Communicating securely only with preregistered modules, RTR-50 units can be used to measure temperatures of freezers remotely, gather data from moving parts on productions lines, or applications in agriculture, civil engineering, concrete production, wine-making and brewing, or for recording events such as door-opening or equipment use.
All units have built-in LCDs to display readings and settings, with a memory capacity of 16,000 measurements.
The battery-operated units can run for at least 6 months with their built-in lithium power source, or up to 2.5 years with an additional battery pack.
The RTR-57C handheld base unit is used for setting the operating parameters of the data-collecting modules, as well as communicating via serial or USB connection with a PC for data processing with the free software supplied.
Up to 3840 modules can be connected wirelessly to the base unit.
The modules can be set up and controlled wirelessly.
RTR-57C base unit has a unique high-quality graphing LCD to show trends of data gathered.
A thumbwheel lets users scroll the graph to view more detail.
The RTR- 57C handheld unit receives the downloaded data from its wireless-networked modules, and stores up to 256,000 readings for later download to a PC.
In this way, the data-gathering logger modules can be permanently installed, even in hard-to-reach places - their information being retrieved wirelessly.
Monitoring intervals can be set from 1 second to 60 minutes, and temperatures from -60 to +155C can be made as far away as 100m, if unobstructed.
Humidity from 10 to 95% can be measured in a restricted temperature range of 0 to 50C.
Easy to use Windows software allows control of all aspects of setup, recording and downloading, as well as printing, creating text files, tables and coloured graphs of the recorded data.
RTR-50 series modules are available now from stock starting at $129 each, with the RTR- 57C base unit at $417 from Saelig.
