Product Overview
The RFPRHTemp2000A is a wireless data logger that measures and records ambient pressure, humidity and temperature. This dynamic data logger is ideal for monitoring weather data, measuring barometric pressure in high-rise buildings or monitoring storage or warehouse environments that contain sensitive material. Clinical laboratories and clean rooms can utilize the RFPRHTemp2000A to measure and maintain critical pressure, humidity or temperature levels, all with one device.
The RFPRHTemp2000A features an LCD screen which provides instant access to the current reading, minimum, maximum and average statistics. Statistics can be reset directly on the keypad of the device, allowing customers to keep track of statistics over certain time periods. This feature does not erase the data recorded, and resets the statistics count. Other features include configurable alarms, battery life indicator and wall or surface mounting options.
This data logger allows users to select the desired units in which the data is displayed. The RFPRHTemp2000A has a wide range of units available for each channel: °C, °F, °R, K for the temperature channel, %RH, mg/mL, Dew Point for the humidity channel and mbar, PSI, inHg, mmHg, atm, Torr, Pa, m, kPa, MPa for the pressure channel. The unit is available for display on the LCD screen as well as in the software.
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: °C, °F, °R, K Units for the temperature channel, %RH, mg/mL, Dew Point Units for the humidity channel and mbar, PSI, inHg, mmHg, atm, Torr, Pa, m, kPa, MPa for the pressure channel.
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.

Additional Features and Operation
Alarm Settings/Rules
In MadgeTech 4, alarms can be created in the software or programmed directly on the data logger. Creating alarm rules in the software allows the user to utilize alarms during 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, either 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 RFPRHTemp2000A 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.
