RFOT: To program the channel on an RFOT data logger, unscrew the body of
the RFOT and remove the enclosure. Switch the wireless ON / OFF switch (red
switch, next to the probe cable connector) to ‘0’. The dip switches are located
on the back of the PCB (opposite side of the battery). Change the dip switches to
match the desired channel settings. Return the wireless ON / OFF switch to ‘1’.
Therm-A-Lert Series: Switch the wireless ON / OFF switch to ‘0’. The dip
switches are located on the back of the device. Switch the wireless ON / OFF
switch back to ‘1’.
Wireless 2000A Series: Connect the device to the PC using the USB cable
(supplied). Highlight the device from the Connected Devices box in the software.
Select Properties and then choose the Wireless tab. Click on the drop down box
and select the desired channel. Click Apply and then Yes to apply the settings.
Click OK to close the box.
On the key pad of the data logger, press any key to activate the display. Press and
hold the Wireless button until the Wireless option reads on.
Deploying and Activating Devices
Step 1: Plug the RFC1000-CE into the USB port on the base station computer.
(Additional RFC1000-CEs can be used as repeaters to transmit over greater distances)
Step 2: If using multiple RFC1000-CEs plug each one into a wall outlet in the
desired locations. (If transmitting over a distance greater than 700 feet indoors or
2500 feet outdoors or there are walls/obstacles/corners that need to be maneuvered
around, set up additional RFC1000-CEs as needed.)
Step 3: Verify that the data loggers are in wireless transmission mode. (See
Channel Programming steps above)
Step 4: On a Windows PC, launch the MadgeTech 4 software program. All
active data loggers will be listed in the software showing that the device(s) are
recognized.
Step 5: To activate the data loggers, click on one to highlight, then click
the Claim icon, and then click the Start button. Repeat this step to activate
additional listed data loggers.

The default wireless channel for MadgeTech wireless devices is channel 11.
Different wireless channels may be used to create multiple networks in one
area, or to avoid wireless interference from other devices. The diagram below
show the orientations available of the switches for each channel. Channel 26 (all
switches in the up position) is not supported.
Channel 11 Channel 12 Channel 13 Channel 14
Channel 15 Channel 16 Channel 17 Channel 18
Channel 19 Channel 20 Channel 21 Channel 22
Channel 23 Channel 24 Channel 25 Channel 26
(not supported)
Follow the instructions below to configure the channel settings for MadgeTech
Data Loggers.
RFC1000-CE: To program the channel on an RFC1000-CE, first unplug the
RFC1000-CE. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to unscrew the enclosure. The
dip switches are located on the front of the PCB circuit board. Change the dip
switches to match the desired channel settings by referring to the diagram above.
Reconnect the RFC1000-CE.
