MadgeTech’s RFOT is the most advanced wireless temperature
data logger in the meat industry today. The RFOT’s rugged
design, equipped with a flexible piercing probe allows it to
be used in the harshest environments. It is perfectly suited
for smoke houses, ovens and other cooking processes up to
212 °F (100 °C) as well as refrigerators and freezers down to

-4 °F (-20 °C). It is completely splash proof and can with­stand wash down cycles. This state-of-the-art device records
and transmits internal product temperature readings back to a
central computer for instant real-time monitoring.

The RFOT never needs to be connected to a computer as it
has been designed for two way wireless communication. All
communication can be performed directly from a central PC.
In addition to wirelessly transmitting data, the RFOT also stores
each reading to internal memory for backup. This back up data
may be retrieved wirelessly at a later time.

MadgeTech’s easy to use software features user programmable
critical control points, called “cooling flags” to assist in compliance with USDA Appendix B. The “cooling
flags” are automatically annotated on the graph and tabular data views. The summary tab provides the
cool down duration between each critical control point. The data can also be automatically exported to
Excel® for further calculations.

As the leader in low power data logger technology, MadgeTech continuously improves its products and
develops solutions to meet ever-changing challenges. The RFOT was designed with our customers in
mind. MadgeTech oers free firmware upgrades for the life of the product so that data loggers already
deployed in the field can grow with new technological developments. Units do not need to be returned
to the factory for upgrades. The user can do this automatically from any PC.
