Announcing our New RTR-574
Illuminance UV Data Logger Wireless for US
The "RTR-574 wireless Illuminance UV Recorder" can simultaneously measure and record four items: Illuminance, Ultraviolet Light (UV), Temperature and Humidity. In addition to these, the RTR-574 is also capable of displaying Cumulative Illuminance and Cumulative UV Light in the LCD display.
Using with a Base Unit allows for the monitoring and managing of recorded data and current readings via your PC.
As recorded data and current readings can be sent to a specified address via e-mail or a specified folder via FTP it is possible to easily share data across a network.
As data can be easily downloaded via wireless communication with a compatible Base Unit there is no need to physically gather the data loggers.
Compatible Base Unit:
RTR-500 Wireless Base Station
RTR-500NW/RTR-500AW Network Base Station (Coming Soon)

Features
- With just one unit it is possible to measure and record Illuminance, Ultraviolet Light, Temperature and Humidity.
- Possible to view Cumulative Illuminance and Cumulative Amount of Ultraviolet Light in the LCD display
- Illuminance can be measured within a wide range (from dim moonlight to the summer sun)
- View and record Illuminance in resolutions to 0.01 lx.
- Possible to measure and record up to 8,000 readings per measurement item.
- Simultaneously view all four measurement items in one easy-to -read Graph.
- Download recorded data via wireless communication
Application Examples
- In art museums and other exhibit forums to manage illuminosity and help prevent deterioration of exhibits
- Management during all aspects of plant and food production
- For use in the development, testing, manufacture and sales of products for cutting UV rays
- UV reduction management in schools from kindergartens to universities
- For home and office use in the management or illuminosity and UV rays
- For managing the reduction of UV rays at swimming pools, the ocean, mountains and in parks.
- For management and adjustment of illuminosity for photography and film
- For management in the production, storage and sales of foodstuffs and beverages
- For use at supermarkets, convenience stores and drugstores in UV product sales promotion materials
