4. Battery Replacement Mark When the replacement mark [ ] appears, try to replace the battery with a new one as soon as possible. 1. When it is time for the battery to be replaced, the [ ] mark will appear. 2. If you do not change the battery and continue using the unit, the temperature 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 data, the communication may be broken and if so all recorded data may be lost. - If the battery is changed at this point, recording will continue after it has been changed. 3. If the battery is further left unchanged, the display will automatically shut off. If, at this time, the battery is changed, [CHEC] will appear in the display after which recording will begin again using the previously set recording conditions. * All of the recorded data up until that point will be erased.The estimated battery life is one year if the wireless communication interval is 10minutes or longer. If the wireless communication interval is less than 10 minutes or if the recording interval is set at 10 seconds or less battery life will be shortened. 5. Communicating with a PCTo register a data logger as a Remote Unit connect the data logger to the computer. For details about how to connect the unit, see the Introductory Guide that comes with the Base Unit or see the application’s Help. Base Unit - Communication errors may occur in environments where temperatures are very high or very low. - If the battery level of the data logger is very low, communication may be broken or may not be possible. 1.

About Sensors for RTR-502Pt Pt100 and Pt1000 sensors are not included in the package with the RTR-502Pt. Please purchase separately.1. Loosen the screws on the terminal block of the sensor adaptor.2. Connect the sensor terminals to the terminal block as instructed in the diagram on the terminal block. 3. Securely tighten the screws on the terminal block.

Installing the Battery When a battery is installed, temperature measurement will start at the factory default settings or the previously set ones. Factory Default Settings Recording Mode: EndlessRecording Interval: 10 minutes Recording Start: Immediate Start1. Remove the screws and open the case.2. Insert the battery into the tube and install as shown in the diagram.3. Check the rubber packing for any cuts or scratches and replace the cover as it was when opened.Rubber PackingScrewCoverBattery(Inserted into tube) * Make sure to use the proper size and type of screwdriver. A Phillips #1 head screwdriver is best. * If using a CR2 lithium battery the tube is not necessary. * If dirt or scratches are present on the rubber packing, water resistance will be reduced. * Be sure to completely close the cover. Make sure not to over tighten the screws. Appropriate torque: 20N*cm ~ 30N*cm [2Kgf*cm ~ 3Kgf*cm] Notes about Battery Installation If a new battery has been installed and recording does not immediately start, nothing appears in the display or any other such malfunction, please remove the battery, check to make sure plus and minus are correct and re-insert the battery. After inserting the battery for the first time, nothing may appear or occur for about 10 seconds; this is not a malfunction. If + (plus) and – (minus) are mistaken, or if the battery terminals + and – are shorted, the recorded data that is stored in the logger will be lost. Make sure no water or foreign objects get inside the case. To maintain water resistibility when changing batteries we suggest also changing the rubber packing and the drying agent. About Lithium Batteries Lithium batteries (CR2) sold in stores may also be used, but if you are using in an environment below -20 oC, above 60 oC, 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 optional part 11P2) When using an LS14250 type lithium battery, even though a new battery has been inserted the BAT indicator 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 BAT indicator 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 oC or less.
