RFRHTemp2000A
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The RFRHTemp2000A is a wireless temperature and humidity data logger, featuring a convenient LCD screen to display
current readings, minimum, maximum and average statistics, battery level and more. User programmable alarms can be
configured to activate an audible buzzer and LED alarm indicator, notifying the user when the temperature or humidity
levels are above or below the user set threshold. Email and text alarms can also be configured allowing users to be notified
from almost anywhere.
Selection Buttons
The RFRHTemp2000A is designed with three direct selection buttons:
Scroll: Allows user to scroll through current readings, average stats and device status information
displayed on the LCD Screen.
°C
°F
Users have the ability to manually reset the statistics within the device to zero without needing to use the MadgeTech 4
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
Units: Allows users to change displayed units of measurement to either Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Wireless: Push and hold this button for 5 seconds to activate or deactivate wireless communication.
Mounting Instructions
Status: Green LED blinks every 5 seconds
to indicate the device is logging.
Wireless: Blue LED blinks every 15 seconds
to indicate the device is operating in
wireless mode.
Alarm: Red LED blinks every 1 second to
indicate an alarm condition is set.
The base provided with the RFRHTemp2000A can be used
in two ways:
Mounting: The base securely
snap to the backside of the data
logger for wall mounting. There
are two holes in the base to
allow for screws.
Tabletop: The bottom of the
logger snaps in place to use on a
tabletop or horizontal surface.
Note: Using the base for tabletop mount
will slow the temperature response time.

ACTIVATING & DEPLOYING THE DATA LOGGER
1. Connect the RFC1000 wireless transceiver (sold separately)
to the Windows PC with the provided USB cable.
2. Additional RFC1000’s can be used as repeaters to
transmit over greater distances. If transmitting over
a distance greater than 500 feet indoors, 2,000 feet
outdoors or there are walls, obstacles or corners that
need to be maneuvered around, set up additional
RFC1000’s as needed. Plug each one into an electrical
outlet in the desired locations.
3. Verify that the data loggers are in wireless transmission
mode. Push and hold the Wireless button on the data
logger for 5 seconds to activate or deactivate wireless
communication.
CHANNEL PROGRAMMING
4. On the Windows PC, launch the MadgeTech 4 Software.
5. All active data loggers will be listed in the Device tab
within the Connected Devices panel.
6. To claim a data logger, select the desired data logger in
the list and click the Claim icon.
7. Once the data logger has been claimed, select a start
method in the Device tab.
For steps to claim the data logger and view data
using MadgeTech Cloud Services, refer to the
MadgeTech Cloud Services Software Manual at
madgetech.com.
Different wireless channels may be used to create multiple networks in one area, or to avoid wireless interference from
other devices. Any MadgeTech data logger or RFC1000 wireless transceiver that is on the same network is required to use
the same channel. If all of the devices are not on the same channel, the devices will not communicate with one another.
MadgeTech wireless data loggers and RFC1000 wireless transceivers are programmed by default on channel 25.
Changing the channel settings of the RFRHTemp2000A
1. Switch the wireless mode to OFF by holding down the
Wireless button on the data logger for 5 seconds.
2. Using the provided USB cable, plug the data logger into
the PC.
3. Open the MadgeTech 4 Software. Locate and select the
data logger in the Connected Devices panel.
4. In the Device tab, click the Properties icon.
5. Under the Wireless tab, select a desired channel
(11 - 25) that will match with the RFC1000.
6. Save all changes.
7. Disconnect the data logger.
8. Return the device to wireless mode by holding down
the Wireless button for 5 seconds.
CHANNEL NOTE: MadgeTech wireless data loggers and
wireless transceivers purchased prior to April 15, 2016
are programmed by default to channel 11. Please refer to
the Product User Guide provided with these devices for
instructions to change the channel selection if needed.
To configuring the channel settings of the
RFC1000 wireless transceiver (sold separately),
please refer to the RFC1000 Product User
Guide that shipped with the product or
download it from the MadgeTech website at
madgetech.com.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Why is the wireless data logger not appearing in the software?
If the RFRHTemp2000A doesn’t appear in the Connected Devices panel, or an error message is received while using
the RFRHTemp2000A, try the following:
• Check that the RFC1000 is properly connected. For more information, see Troubleshooting wireless transceiver
problems (below).
• Ensure that the battery is not discharged. For best voltage accuracy, use a voltage meter connected to the battery of the
device. If possible, try switching the battery with a new 9V lithium.
• Ensure that the MadgeTech 4 Software is being used, and that no other MadgeTech Software (such as MadgeTech 2,
or MadgeNET) is open and running in the background. MadgeTech 2 and MadgeNET are not the compatible with the
RFRHTemp2000A.
• Ensure that the Connected Devices panel is large enough to display devices. This can be verified by positioning the
cursor on the edge of the Connected Devices panel until the resize cursor appears, then dragging the edge of the panel
to resize it.
• Ensure that the data logger and RFC1000 are on the same wireless channel. If the devices are not on the same channel,
the devices will not communicate with one another. Please refer to the Channel Programming section for information
on changing the device channel.
Troubleshooting wireless transceiver problems
Check that the software properly recognizes the connected RFC1000 wireless transceiver.
If the wireless data logger is not appearing in the Connected Devices list, it may be that the RFC1000 is not
properly connected.
1. In the MadgeTech 4 Software, click the File button, then click Options.
2. In the Options window, click Communications.
3. The Detected Interfaces box will list all of the available communication interfaces. If the RFC1000 is listed
here, then the software has correctly recognized and is ready to use it.
Check that Windows recognizes the connected RFC1000 wireless transceiver.
If the software does not recognize the RFC1000, there may be a problem with Windows or the USB drivers.
1. In Windows, click Start, right-click Computer and choose Properties.
2. Select Device Manager in the left hand column.
3. Double-click on Universal Serial Bus Controllers.
4. Look for an entry for Data Logger Interface.
5. If the entry is present, and there are no warning messages or icons, then windows has correctly recognized
the connected RFC1000.
6. If the entry is not present, or has an exclamation point icon next to it, the USB drivers may need to be
installed. USB drivers can be downloaded from the MadgeTech website.
Ensure that the USB end of the RFC1000 is securely connected to the computer.
1. If the cable is connected to the PC, unplug it and wait ten seconds.
2. Reconnect the cable to the PC.
3. Check to make sure that the red LED is lit, indicating a successful connection.

l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en
compromettre le fonctionnement.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum
(or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne
d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les
risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de
sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une
communication satisfaisante.
