1. Install the MadgeTech 4 Software and USB Drivers onto a Windows PC.

2. The RFC1000 interface device comes with a USB cable. Plug one end of the cable into

an available USB port on the PC and plug the opposite end of the cable into the

communication port on the RFC1000.

3. Push and hold the wireless button on the RFTCTemp2000A for 5 seconds to activate

wireless communication. The display will conﬁrm “Wireless: ON” and the blue LED

will blink every 15 seconds.

4. Launch the MadgeTech 4 Software. All active MadgeTech Data Loggers that are within

range will automatically appear in the connected devices window. Each data logger in

the list can be identiﬁed by serial number (printed on the exterior of the logger).

5. To claim a device, select the desired data logger in the list and click the Claim icon.

6. Select the start method, reading rate and any other parameters appropriate for the

desired data logging application. Once conﬁgured, deploy the data logger by clicking

the Start icon.

7. To download data, select the device in the list, click the Stop icon, and then click the

Download icon. A graph will automatically display the data.

Quick Start Steps

1. Install the MadgeTech 4 Software and USB Drivers onto a Windows PC.

2. Before plugging the data logger in the computer, make sure the wireless setting on

the device is set to “Wireless: OFF”. If wireless mode is on, press and hold the Wireless

button on the device for 5 seconds.

3. The RFTCTemp2000A comes with a USB cable. Plug one end of the cable into an

available USB port on the PC and plug the opposite end of the cable into the

communication port on the RFTCTemp2000A.

4. Launch the MadgeTech 4 Software. The RFTCTemp2000A will appear in the connected

devices window indicating the device has been recognized.

5. Select the start method, reading rate and any other parameters appropriate for the

desired data logging application. Once conﬁgured, deploy the data logger by clicking

the Start icon.

Product User Guide

Product Overview

The RFTCTemp2000A is two-way Wireless thermocouple based temperature data logger

with LCD. Transmits up to 2000’ maximum (outdoors unobstructed). Built-in memory also

stores data internally. Features a built-in temperature sensor for cold junction compensation

(CJC). An external thermocouple probe is required (not included). Accepts J, K, T, E, R, S, B,

and N type thermocouples.

This device measures ambient temperatures, as well as remote temperature via a thermo-

couple (sold separately), making it ideal for monitoring perishable goods, vaccine storage,

chemicals and more. Starting, stopping and downloading from the device are all performed

wirelessly using the RFC1000 wireless transceiver, allowing customer to spend less time

maintaining the data logger. Data can be provided in real time back to a central PC, or the

device may be downloaded at period intervals.

Selection Buttons

The logger is designed with 3 direct selection buttons: Scroll, Units and Wireless.

•Scroll: Allows user to scroll through current readings, average stats and device status

information displayed on the LCD Screen.

•Units: Allows user to change displayed units of measurement to either °F or °C.

•Wireless: Push and hold this button for 5 seconds to activate or deactivate wireless

communication.

•Manual Reset Option: Allows user to manually reset the statistics within the device to 0

without needing to use the MadgeTech software. Any data recorded up to that point is

recorded and saved. To apply the manual reset, press and hold the scroll key down for

three seconds.

LED Indicators

•Status: Green LED blinks every 5 seconds to indicate unit is logging.

•Wireless: Blue LED blinks every 15 seconds to indicate unit is operating in wireless mode.

•Alarm: Red LED blinks every 1 second to indicate an alarm condition.

Remote Thermocouple Channel

A female subminiature (SMP) or pluggable screw terminal is located on the bottom of the

logger to connect a thermocouple. The RFTCTemp2000A will accept thermocouple types

J, K, T, E, R, S, B, or N.

Wiring the Thermocouple

Warning: Note the polarity instructions. Do not attach wires to the wrong terminals.

Additional Features and Operation

Alarm Settings/Rules

In MadgeTech 4, alarms can be created

on two levels; in the software itself, and

programmed speciﬁcally to the data logger.

Creating alarm rules in the software allows

the user to utilize alarms while real time

recording, and have the added beneﬁt of

features such as e-mail and SMS notiﬁcation.

An alarm that is programmed on the data

logger will only alert the user from the

device itself, whether that is by a ﬂashing

LED, audible alarm, or local LCD notiﬁcation.

Creating a Real time Alarm Rule

1. Within the Device tab in MadgeTech 4, in the Alarms group, click Manage Rules,

then select New.

2. Enter a name in the Rule name box, and select whether notiﬁcations will occur when

All conditions are met or Any condition is met.

3. Select the desired conditions to have met before notiﬁcations occur, and select which

notiﬁcations will occur from the drop down menus.

4. If selecting to receive notiﬁcations by email or text message, click Email settings and

make sure the correct info has been entered. Email and text message notiﬁcations will

not be received if settings are incorrect.

5. Click OK. The OK button will be disabled if the Rule name box is empty.

Changing the Alarm Settings of a Device

1. In the Connected devices panel, select the RFTCTemp2000A device.

2. Click the Properties button under the device tab at the top of the software, and select

the Alarm tab in the Properties window.

3. The High and Low settings indicate reading thresholds at which the alarm becomes active.

4. The Delay setting indicates how long to wait before the alarm becomes active after

passing an alarm threshold.

5. The Use cumulative alarm delay checkbox indicates whether the alarm delay should

reset when reading values fall back within the alarm threshold.

6. Once the alarm is conﬁgured appropriately, click Apply to save the settings.

**Please refer to the Help ﬁle in the MadgeTech software for more information regarding alarm settings**

Product User Guide

The base provided with the RFTCTemp2000A can be used in two ways.

• The bottom of the logger snaps in place to use and mount the unit on a table top or

horizontal surface.

• The base can also securely snap to the backside of the logger for wall mounting if desired

(as shown below).

• There are two holes in the base to allow for screws for mounting.
