New handheld wireless data collector

T&D Corp has introduced RTR-500DC, a handheld wireless data collector with a large, easy-to-read graphical display.

It is ideal for applications where items to be monitored are in motion, or where physical access to the data logger itself is inconvenient or impractical.

The unit can monitor and download data from up to 224 separate loggers and stores up to 256,000 readings, which can then be uploaded to a PC via a USB connection.

It displays the data on a graphical display with zoom function.

The unit has a search mode for locating data loggers and a signal strength indicator.

This pocket sized unit weighs 4.4 oz and operates for over 100 hours on two AAA batteries.

The transmission distance is up to 500 feet, line of sight, which can be extended with the use of wireless repeaters.
