Description
RTR500BC is a wireless data collector (Base Unit) that collects recorded data from data loggers (Remote Units) using short range wireless communication. Connected to a PC via USB and with our Windows software, it enables data download and transfer, real-time monitoring as well as monitoring for warnings. It can also be used as a wireless repeater for our RTR500B/RTR-500 Series.

*1: Customers wishing to use the RTR500BC as a Base Unit in conjunction with the RTR-600 series devices, please contact your local distributor for the communications protocol specifications to write your own software.
*2: Also compatible with the following discontinued products: RTR-501/502/503/507S/505, RTR-500, and RTR-601-110/130/E10/E30. Please refer to “Compatibility Info for RTR500B and RTR-500 Series” (https://tandd.com/information/compatible-rtr500b-loggers.html).
*3: For RTR-574 and RTR-576, registration of one unit will be counted as two units.
*4: There are US models and EU models in the RTR500B Series. They cannot be used together because they have different wireless specifications.
*5: Bluetooth is available when using the RTR500BW or RTR500BM as a Base Unit and making device settings in the mobile app (T&D 500B Utility).
*6: Customers wishing to write their own software, please contact your local distributor for the serial communications protocol specifications (Note: Optional serial communication cable TR-07C is also required).
*7: Client Function. The protocol is implemented in the software application (RTR500BC for Windows).
*8: When using the RTR500BC as a Base Unit, it works on the USB bus power and it is not necessary to use another power source.
*9: Battery life depends on several factors, including ambient temperature, radio environment, frequency of communication, and quality of the battery being used. All estimates are based on operations carried out with a new battery and are in no way a guarantee of actual battery life.
