Section 4: Front Panel Overview
4.1 Changing the display units
The TCTemp2000 comes with factory default display units of °C for both the
internal temperature and external probe channels. These units can be easily
changed by pressing the F3 button in the main screen and then selecting
either F1 for the internal temperature or F2 for external probe. After selecting
a channel, the available units can be scrolled through by either pressing the
channel’s function key repeatedly or using the UP and DOWN keys.
Button pressing chain:
Main Screen -> F3 -> F1(temp), F2(probe) -> function key repeatedly or UP
and DOWN
4.2 Changing the number, type, and size of channels viewed
By default the TCTemp2000 displays recently measured values of both channels (internal temperature and external probe) on its Main Screen with the
two channels taking up the maximum amount of screen space available.
Channels can, however, be hidden or viewed on a smaller or larger scale.
To change the number and type of displayed channels:
From the Main Screen, press the F4 key to enter the Setup Menu and from
this menu press the F1 key to enter the Display screen. On this screen, F1
corresponds to the internal temperature channel and F2 to the external
probe. Pressing these function keys will cause the channels to scroll between
“show” or “hide” channels displaying “show” will appear on the main screen
and channels displaying “hide” will not. Any number of channels between
zero and two may be shown.
Button pressing chain:
Main Screen -> F4 -> F1 -> F1(internal temp) or F2(external probe)
To change the size of displayed channels:
From the Main Screen, press the F4 key to enter the Setup Menu and from
this menu press the F1 key to enter the Display screen, then F4 to scroll to
the next screen. Here the F2 key will change the size of the channels viewed.
By pressing F2 repeatedly the size parameter will scroll between 3 sizes:
Small: Both channels can be displayed and appear much smaller than the
available screen space.
Medium: Both channels can be displayed and take up two-thirds of available
screen space.
Page 9
MadgeTech TCTemp2000
Large: Both channels can be displayed and take up entire available screen
space.
Button pressing chain:
Main Screen -> F4 -> F1 -> F4 -> F2 repeatedly to scroll or UP and DOWN to
scroll
4.3 Checking the memory Status
A status icon appears on all screens representing memory, but further information including percent memory left and number of readings taken can
also be viewed. From the Main Screen press the F1 key to enter the Status
screens then press F2 to view memory status information.
Button pressing chain:
Main Screen -> F1 -> F2
4.4 Checking power status
A battery status and external power status (if available) icon appear on all
screens, but percent battery power remaining and external power presence
as well as battery type, current battery voltage, and current external voltage can also be viewed. From the Main Screen press F4 to view the Device
Configuration Menu, F2 to access the power options, then F4 twice to view
the Power Status screen, including battery power percent remaining and
the presence of external power. Battery type and battery voltage are also
displayed, as well as external power voltage (if connected).
Button pressing chain:
Main Screen -> F4 -> F2 -> F4 -> F4
4.5 Changing the Contrast
The TCTemp2000’s LCD screen contrast values can be changed in two ways.
One method is outlined in the Function Reference Guide. A faster, simpler
way involves simultaneously pressing the CANCEL and UP or DOWN repeatedly in any screen.
Button pressing chain:
CANCEL + UP repeatedly (to increase) or DOWN repeatedly (to decrease)

Section 5: TCTemp2000 Function Reference
5.1 Main Screen
The main screen of the TCTemp2000 features a real-time display of most
recently measured internal temperature and external probe data. At the bottom of the main screen are tabs corresponding to each of the four function
keys. These tabs are used to access the four main function menus of the TCTemp2000: status, statistics, units, and setup. The left side of the main screen
and all subsequent screens of the device is where important status information icons can be found (detailed in Section 3: Important Status Icons – page
5) including recording status, memory status, busy status, external power
status, and battery power status.
5.2 Status Menu
Pressing F1 on the main screen brings up the Status menu. The first screen
that appears in the Status Menu is Run Parameters, but the Memory Status
and Time screens can also be viewed by pressing the F2 and F3 keys respectively.
5.2.i Run Parameters
The Run Parameters screen displays important information regarding the
device’s current recording session. These parameters include the time and
date the recording session started (start time and start date), the time and
date the recording session will end (stop date and stop time) due to either
lack of memory or preprogramming in the MadgeTech software. The rate
at which the TCTemp2000 is recording (rate) is also displayed. The device’s
current status (either running or stopped) is the last parameter on the Run
Parameters screen.
5.2.ii Memory Status
The Memory Status screen is where all information regarding the TCTemp2000’s memory. This screen displays the percent of memory space
currently available (memory left), the number of readings currently stored
on the device (readings), the maximum number of readings the device can
record (max readings), as well as information about the wrap feature displaying either “disabled” or the number of wrap readings currently stored in
memory.
