Deploying and Activating Devices
Step 1: Plug the RFC1000 into the USB port on the base station computer. (Additional RFC1000s
can be used as repeaters to transmit over greater distances)
Step 2: If using multiple RFC1000s plug each one into a wall outlet in the desired locations.
(If transmitting over a distance greater than 1000 feet indoors or 4000 feet outdoors or there
are walls/obstacles/corners that need to be maneuvered around, set up additional RFC1000s
as needed.)
Step 3: Verify that the data loggers are in wireless transmission mode. (See Channel Programming
steps above)
Step 4: On a Windows PC, launch the Madgetech 4 software program. All active data loggers will
be listed in the software showing that the device(s) are recognized.
Step 5: To activate the data loggers, click on one to highlight, then click the Claim icon, and then
click the Start button. Do this for each logger in the list that needs to be activated.
