What is RTR-61?
ɜ Thermo Recorder Push Wireless RTR-61 is a handy-type device which acts both as a thermometer and a
temperature recorder, which has been designed to easily measure and record the internal temperature of
food items and liquid temperature using a needle-type sensor.
ɜ This product has been designed to meet IP64 standards (splash resistant; rated for use in daily life).
RTR-61 measures and records core temperature, which makes it suitable for use in the food production
industry especially temperature management for HACCP.
ɜ The unit incorporates a battery life warning function, which informs the user when it is time to replace the
battery. When the battery power becomes low, all normal operations will stop in order to protect the data.
ɜ The LCD Backlight allows the display to be easily read even in low light. The LCD contrast can also be
easily adjusted for better viewing.
ɜ These units are also designed with special short wave radio functions that when coupled with our
exclusive software set "Push Wireless Communication Set (RTR-61SK)", makes it possible to carry out
wireless communication, allowing for easy and effective management of multiple RTR-61 units.
ɡ Battery Life Indicator
The battery indicator on the LCD display allows you to view the status of the battery life. If the remaining battery power becomes
zero, a battery replacement message will appear. Once the message appears, please change the battery as soon as possible.
