RTR500BW Wireless Base Unit for Data Loggers – LAN & WiFi Monitoring
RTR500BW Wireless Base Unit
Centralized Data Collection and Cloud Connectivity for Wireless Data Loggers
The T&D RTR500BW is a wireless base unit designed to collect, store and transmit data from compatible RTR-500 / RTR500B series remote data loggers. It enables centralized monitoring of temperature, humidity and other recorded parameters by automatically gathering data via radio communication and forwarding it through wired LAN or wireless LAN networks.
This base unit is well-suited for laboratories, pharmaceutical storage, cold chain monitoring, warehouses, clean rooms and industrial environments where continuous data access and remote monitoring are required. By eliminating the need for manual data retrieval, the RTR500BW helps streamline compliance, quality control and environmental tracking processes.
Wireless Data Collection from Remote Loggers
The RTR500BW communicates with registered remote units using short-range wireless communication, allowing it to collect recorded data without physical access to each logger. This is particularly useful for installations across multiple rooms, storage zones or controlled environments.
LAN and Wireless LAN Connectivity
The base unit supports both wired LAN and wireless LAN connections, enabling flexible installation depending on the site infrastructure. Once connected, the system can automatically upload collected data to T&D WebStorage Service or a local network environment.
Automatic Data Upload and Remote Access
Collected data can be automatically transmitted at scheduled intervals, allowing users to access current and historical readings remotely via PC or mobile device. This feature helps reduce manual intervention while ensuring data is consistently recorded and available.
Warning Monitoring and Alerts
The RTR500BW can monitor recorded values against preset limits and generate warnings when thresholds are exceeded. This allows for quicker response to temperature or environmental deviations in sensitive applications.
Expandable Monitoring System
The base unit can manage multiple remote data loggers, making it suitable for monitoring several points within a facility. Users can scale their system by adding compatible loggers as monitoring needs grow.
Typical Applications
Common applications include cold storage monitoring, laboratory environmental control, pharmaceutical inventory tracking, food storage quality control, clean room monitoring, incubator supervision and warehouse condition tracking.
