will automatically appear in the Connected Devices window.

5. Select the data logger within the Connected Devices window and click the Claim icon.

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

Product Overview

The MadgeTech RFOT is a two-way wireless meat cooking and cooling data logger. The
RFOT’s rugged design, equipped with a flexible piercing probe allows it to be used in harsh
environments. The RFOT is perfectly suited for use in smokehouses, ovens and other cooking
processes up to 212 °F (100 °C) as well as refrigerators and freezers down to -4 °F (-20 °C). The
RFOT is completely splash-proof, and can withstand wash down cycles. The RFOT records and
wirelessly transmits internal product temperature readings back to a central PC for instant
real-time monitoring, even when a smokehouse or freezer door is closed. The RFOT allows the
user to also set-up real-time wireless alarming within the soware, so that the user is notified by
email or text if an alarm condition has been met or exceeded. The RFOT assists in complying with
HACCP requirements as well as USDA regulations.
