Wireless Continuous Process Monitoring
Cooking, Cooling and Storage Data Loggers
MadgeTech’s wireless, continuous monitoring data logging system provides a streamlined solution for measuring and
recording the cooking, cooling and storage of meat and food products. Wireless data loggers are placed throughout
a facility to measure processes such as cooking and cooling cycles or environmental monitoring in coolers, freezers
or warehouses. The RFC1000 transceivers are placed throughout the site and communicate with the wireless data
loggers. Full communication is performed wirelessly and real-time data is sent back to a central PC. If the data
received is out of a safe range, the system can be configured to send an email, text message or on-screen alarm. Data
can be transmitted up to 2000 maximum outdoors (line of sight, unobstructed) and 500 maximum indoors. To
transmit over longer distances, additional RFC1000s are added.
Wireless Meat Temperature Monitoring
RFOT
The RFOT is designed for use in monitoring and recording the temperature of meat
products during cooking, cooling and storage. It can be used in smokers and other
cooking processes up to 212 °F (100 °C) as well as coolers and freezers down to -4 °F
(-20 °C). It is completely splash proof and can withstand wash down cycles.
Once the loggers are deployed, they can be stopped and started, and data can be
downloaded, from a central PC.
New! Rugged T-Handle
Tested to withstand thousands
of cycles.

Wireless Data Loggers
RFRHTemp2000A & RFTCTemp2000A
MadgeTech has designed the 2000A Wireless Series for customers that require employees to check
temperatures of coolers, freezers, warehouses, etc. This series includes a digital display to see the
current reading, as well as minimum, maximum and average statistics based on the data recorded to
memory. Data is also sent wirelessly back to a central PC through the RFC1000 mesh network.
This series also includes an audible alarm to alert users in close proximity. If the temperature or
humidity exceeds the safe range, the audible alarm enables the user to take immediate action. Email,
text message or on-screen alerts can also be configured.
The RFRHTemp2000A is a wireless temperature and humidity data logger. It is ideal for monitoring warehouses and other temperature
and humidity sensitive environments. The RFTCTemp2000A is a wireless thermocouple based temperature data logger. This device
can measure both ambient temperature as well as thermocouple temperature and can be used for ovens, coolers, freezers, and more.

HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points): Seven Principal Steps
1. Conduct a hazard analysis
Identify the potential hazard(s) associated with food production at all stages, from primary production, processing, manufacture and distribution until the
point of consumption. Assess the likelihood of occurrence of the hazard(s) and identify measures for their control.
2. Identify the critical control points (CCPs)
Determine the points, procedures, or operational steps that can be controlled to eliminate the hazard(s) or minimize its (their) likelihood of occurrence.
A “step” means any stage in food production and/or manufacture including the receipt and/or production of raw materials, harvesting, transport,
formulation, processing, storage, etc.
3. Establish critical limit(s)
Establish critical limit(s) which must be met to ensure the CCP is under control.
MadgeTech oers data loggers that enable the user to monitor and record temperature, humidity and other parameters to establish critical limits.
4. Establish Procedures to Monitor control of the CCP
a. What will be monitored b. How will it be monitored c. How oen will it be monitored d. Who will perform the monitoring
MadgeTech Data Loggers help to ensure critical control limits are being met. They can be used to validate ovens, freezers, coolers or be used to monitor
the internal temperature of product in process.

5. Establish Corrective Action Procedures
Establish the corrective action to be taken when monitoring indicates that a particular CCP is not under control.
6. Establish a Record Keeping System
Establish documentation concerning all procedures and records appropriate to these principles and their application.
The MadgeTech Soware makes record keeping a simple task. Easily tailor graphs and create custom reports for the product being processed to help
comply with federal guidelines and regulations.
7. Establish Verification Procedures
Establish procedures for verification to confirm that the HACCP system is working eectively.
MadgeTech data loggers play a key role in the HACCP plan. MadgeTech oers SOP’s (Standard Operating Procedure’s) to aid the user to ensure the data
loggers are installed correctly, operating properly and performing as they should.
