OM-CP-RFOT Product Overview
The Omega OM-CP-RFOT is a two-way wireless meat cooking and cooling data logger. The OM-CP-RFOT’s rugged design, equipped with
a flexible piercing probe allows it to be used in harsh environments. The OM-CP-RFOT is perfectly suited for use in 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). The OM-CP-RFOT is completely
splash proof, and can withstand wash down cycles. The OM-CP-RFOT records and transmits internal product temperature readings back to
a central PC for instant real-time monitoring, even when a smoke house or freezer door is closed.
The OM-CP-RFOT never needs to be connected to a computer as it has been designed for two-way wireless communication. Full
communication can be performed directly from a central PC. In addition to wirelessly transmitting data, the OM-CP-RFOT also stores each
reading to the internal memory of the data logger for backup. This backup data may be retrieved wirelessly at a later time if need be. The
OM-CP-RFOT allows the user to also set-up real time wireless alarming within the software, so that the user is notified by email or text
message if an alarm condition has been met or exceeded. The OM-CP-RFOT helps the user comply with HACCP requirements as well as
USDA regulations.

Wireless Network Information
Self Healing Network
There is very little programming required by the user when OM-CP-RFOTs and OM-CP-RFC1000-EXTs are installed. Once installed, if an
OM-CP-RFOTweretolosecommunicationwithanOM-CP-RFC1000-EXT,thedataloggerwillautomatically“search”thenetworkfor
another available OM-CP-RFC1000-EXT. If multiple OM-CP-RFC1000-EXTs are available, the OM-CP-RFOT will automatically select the
OM-CP-RFC1000-EXT with the strongest signal.
Line-of-Sight & Transmission Distance
Typical transmission distance from an OM-CP-RFC1000-EXT to another OM-CP-RFC1000-EXT is as follows:
• 4,000 feet maximum outdoors – line-of-sight unobstructed
• 1,000 feet maximum indoors – line-of-sight unobstructed
Typical transmission distance from an OM-CP-RFC1000-EXT to an OM-CP-RFOT data logger is as follows:
• 2,000 feet maximum outdoors – Line-of-sight unobstructed
• 500 feet maximum indoors – Line-of-sight unobstructed
Obstacles
Any obstacles will decrease the line-of-sight from an OM-CP-RFC1000-EXT to another OM-CP-RFC1000-EXT as well as the line-of-sight
from an OM-CP-RFC1000-EXT to an OM-CP-RFOT. Obstacles that interfere with or decrease the wireless signal could include but are
not limited to smokehouse doors, freezer or refrigerator doors, building structures such as walls and metal beams and internal traffic
such as forklifts and metal racks or carts. An additional number or OM-CP-RFC1000-EXTs can be placed near the obstacles to greatly
help lengthen and strengthen the wireless signal.
Number of Data Loggers per OM-CP-RFC1000-EXT
Each OM-CP-RFC1000-EXT has the capability to communicate with 64 OM-CP-RFOT data loggers. If more than 64 data loggers will be
installed within the network it is recommended that multiple OM-CP-RFC1000-EXTs also be utilized.

OM-CP-RFOT
For best performance, the OM-CP-RFOT should
always be hung by the hook in an upright position.
This will allow for the best path for the wireless
signal.
Mounting Instructions for the OM-CP-RFC1000-EXT &
OM-CP-RFC1000-EXT-IP69K
For best performance, both the OM-CP-RFOT and the OM-CP-RFC1000-EXT
should be mounted in the same orientation. As it is recommended that the
OM-CP-RFOT be mounted in an upright position, the OM-CP-RFC1000-EXT
external antenna should be pointing straight up. The antenna on the OM-CPRFC1000-EXT can also pivot to accommodate a wall mount or a desk mount.
If the user has multiple OM-CP-RFC1000-EXTs, the antennas will perform best
when they are all pointing in the same direction. The antennas on the OM-CPRFC1000-EXTs should also be at least 1.5 inches away from any metal.

Channel Programming
The OM-CP-RFC1000-EXT transmits data on the 2.4GHz band and is programmed by default on channel 11. Each Omega Wireless Data
Logger and OM-CP-RFC1000-EXT has a set of dip switches with which the channel may be programmed. Different wireless channels may
be used to create multiple networks in one area, or to avoid wireless interference from other devices. Any Omega data logger or OM-CPRFC1000-EXT 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.
The images below show the orientations available of the switches for each channel. Channel 26 (all switches in the up position) is not supported.
Channel 11 Channel 12 Channel 13 Channel 14 Channel 15 Channel 16

Maintenance:
Omega data loggers come directly from the factory with high quality O-Rings that have been properly installed. As a user, there are only a few
things that need to be remembered to maintain a functional O-Ring seal.
DO:
•Clean them frequently (use compressed air or a soft brush to avoid abrasion).
•Lubricate regularly (if it doesn’t feel slippery, it needs to be lubricated). We recommend Parker
O-Ring lubricant will work. This is most important on the seals that are frequently opened and closed for communication with the logger.
•Inspect the O-Ring regularly for signs of failure (see the reverse side of this pamphlet for details on what to look for)
DON’T:
•Poke,jab,pryattheO-Ringwithsharporpointedobjects.
•Expose the O-Rings to harsh chemicals (when in doubt, call Omega).
•Expose the seals to high pressure (all of Omega’s submersible data loggers are rated to 60 PSIG).
•Expose the seal to high temperatures (see data logger Specification Sheet for operating temperature range).

Desiccant Packet
Located on the board of the OM-CP-RFOT is a desiccant packet. The desiccant packet should be left in the case as it is supplementary
protection against any additional moisture.
Recalibration
Recalibration is recommended annually for all Omega data loggers. The Properties window in the Omega 4 software displays the date
of the last calibration and the date that the device is next due for calibration. The Omega 4 Software can also be configured to send an
on screen notification prior to the calibration due date for each device. By default this is set to seven days prior to calibration due date
and can be changed by the user by going to the file tab in the Omega 4 software and clicking on Options. Select device and check
“Display popup notification when a device nears its next calibration date”. The user can then select the number of days before
calibration due date to notify.
