IJWhat is Web Wing WL RTR-5W ?The RTR-5W not only serves as a base station for the wireless downloading of recorded data from our compact waterproof Wireless Communication RTR-5 Series Data Loggers, but, moreover, the [Web Wing WL RTR-5W] serves as a network base station that allows you to monitor and view current readings and gather recorded data via LAN or Internet connection. ŐŧŧŪŤŦ2̜.@/: ̥ABC3̯DEF4̹GHI5̈́JKL6͉MNO7͘PQRS8͞TUV9ͣWXYZ:઀໲লζ΢Ȝ ικ1ܱͩͬͭ࣢·ςͺHILDഩ࡙㧨㧪ŎŢŪŭœŕœĮĶŘōłŏœŰŶŵŦų ŊůŵŦųůŦŵɡExamples of Usage-Recording measurements taken from various measuring instruments such as fl ow meters, power meters, and analyzers.  -Data recording of moving objects and rotating objects on a production line. -Temperature an humidity management in high humidity environments such as brewing and crop cultivation.-Measurement in places where wiring is diffi cult or impossible. *The RTR-5W is designed solely for network communication.It does not include any RS-232 or USB communication interface. To make use of this product you must connect it to a network.Moreover, in order to use this product via the Internet you will need other devices (such as a router) and must fi rst make necessary arrangements with a provider for a line and get a fi xed IP address, domain, etc.... *When making settings in an RTR-5W without any settings already made (when purchased or after resetting), it is necessary to carry out these settings using a wired LAN connection. After having made all the necessary settings via the wired connection, it is possible to use a wireless LAN connection.
ijɡBasic FunctionsGathering and Managing Remote Unit Data via a Network The RTR-5W is able to gather via wireless communication the measured and recorded data from any RTR-5x Series Data Logger and using a Local Area Network (LAN) or Internet connection makes it possible to view current readings and / or download the gathered recorded data. With the internal WEB Server, use a browser to check current readings and view in simple graph formBecause the RTR-5W is designed with a built-in WEB server, it can be accessed directly from your Internet browser.Via the browser you can check the current readings of any Remote Unit that has been registered and view the recorded data in the Remote in a simplifi ed graph form. Connect to a Wireless LAN via CF CardThe RTR-5W is designed with a CF card slot.By inserting a wireless LAN card in this CF card slot, it is possible to connect to a Wireless LAN; releasing you from the burden of cables and wiring.*For information and updates concerning which wireless LAN cards can be used please see our Homepage.Internet Connection allows for Public Access to DataThe built-in WEB server gives you the option of putting your data on the Internet for public access. Also the by using the Internet connection you can escape the boundaries of the Local Area Network and gain the freedom to manage and collect data from anywhere where the Internet is available; a low-cost alternative to having to be in the local area. View Current Readings via Cell PhoneIt is also possible to use your cell phone browser to view current readings.Set Upper / Lower Limits and Send Warning Report E-MailBy making upper and lower limit settings for the RTR-5W, when one of the set upper or lower limits has been exceeded, a warning report mail can be sent via e-mail.  !*To make use of the warning report e-mail send function, it is necessary to be create an environment in order to connect to the Internet or to an in-company (in-house) SMTP/POP server.  When a warning occurs it is possible to use contact outputWhen a set upper or lower limit has been exceeded, it is possible not only to send a warning report via e-mail, but it is also possible to use the provided contact output on the main unit to issue a warning within a structured warning system.
ĴɡBasic Functions of RTR-5W for WindowsThe software is made up of the following 5 applications: [Network Settings Utility], [RTR-5W for Windows], [Temperature /Humidity Graph], [Multi-Scale Graph] and [Event Viewer]. Also, by using your web browser to access RTR-5W, it is possible to view data via the Internet.*Only compatible with Internet Explorer Ver.6 or higher using Windows 2000 / XPȺNetwork Settings UtilityȻMake the necessary network settings for RTR-5W.Network Initialization SettingsSettings for helping to connect a RTR-5W to a network.Detailed Network SettingsMake detailed Network settings here.ȺRTR-5W for WindowsȻMake all necessary settings in order to communicate with RTR-51/52/53ȂRVR-52AA Data Loggers via the RTR-5W Base Station.For each RTR-5W it is possible to create one tree, and in that tree register Remote Units for communication. Remote RegistrationRegister any logger in the RTR-5 Series as a Remote Unit; also possible to register in Groups for easy management. Recording SettingsBy setting the recording interval, the recording start time and the recording mode, recording will begin at the set date and time. Downloading Recorded DataDownload recorded data from the RTR-5W to a computer and create fi les.Also, by making Auto-Download settings, it is possible to gather from Remote Units at a set interval of time or at a set time of day. Warning MonitoringIf a measurement exceeds the set limit, a notifi cation can be sent via e-mail from the RTR-5W to your computer or cellular phone.Also, because there is a built-in external output terminal, it is possible to connect to an external device, such an alarm or light, so that a notifi cation of a warning can be seen or heard onsite. Gathering Current DataGather and view current measurement readings from the selected Remote Unit(s). Transfer DataThe RTR-5W retrieves and stores data at a set regular interval.This stored data is transferred for display.
ĵȺTemperature / Humidity GraphȻ/ȺMulti-Scale GraphȻTemperature and Humidity are displayed in the Temperature and Humidity Graph In the Multi-Scale Graph, voltage, pulse, temperature and humidity data can be viewed in Graph form. In Multi-Scale Graph, it is possible to make settings for scale and unit of measurement to match the type of date being downloaded. View Graphs and PrintIt is possible to view the downloaded data as a list and print. ɡView 8 channels of data in 1 displayUp to 8 channels of recorded data can be viewed in the same graph at one time.ɡEasy zoom in and out with mouseBy selecting a range with your mouse you can easily zoom in and out on data. ɡCalculate and view the highest, lowest and average readings for a desired rangeIn the Graph, for each channel it is possible to designate a desired range from which the highest, lowest and average readings will be calculated and displayed. ɡGraph PrintingIt is possible to easily print in color the Graph as it is being displayed.View and Print Data ListYou can view the data displayed in the graph window as a list and then choose to print.ɡView in Easy to Distinguish ColorsIn the data list, the highest value will appear in red, the lowest in blue, and the average in pink.ɡPrinting the Data ListIt is possible to print the entire list as displayed or to select pages for printing.Creating Text FileIt is possible to convert the data for a specifi ed range (time period) to common text fi le format (CSV type format), so that it can be exported to spreadsheet software such as Excel or Lotus.

Inserting the plug into a socket with different voltage may cause fi re or other trouble. - Do not insert or pull out the AC adaptor plug with wet hands or if there are water drops on the plug; it may cause electrocution.ɡConnect the supplied LAN cable* To ensure a proper connection make sure that the connector is completely inserted.
IJķCommunicating with the Data LoggerIt is possible to communicate between an RTR-5W base station and Data Loggers RTR-51/52/53ȆRVR-52A by two methods: [Wireless Communication] and [Optical Communication].ɡCommunicating with a Data Logger via Optical CommunicationOptical communication can be carried out by placing an RTR-51/52/53 or RVR-52A Data Logger face down on the RTR-5W so that the optical communication areas meet.  *To make measuring mode changes in an RVR-52A, use via optical communication when registering a Remote Unit. Optical Communication AreaPlace a Data Logger face down on the RTR-5WɡCommunicating with a Data Logger via Wireless CommunicationCommunication is carried out with the RTR-51/52/53ȆRVR-52A Data Loggers via special short wave wireless communication In order to carry out Wireless Communication, use the supplied software [RTR-5W for Windows] to register the Data Loggers as Remote Units of the RTR-5W Base Station. 7ITHINM*The wireless communication range, if unobstructed and direct, is about 100 meters [330 ft].
