1. Install the MadgeTech 4 Software and USB Drivers onto a Windows PC.

2. The RFC1000 interface device comes with a USB cable. Plug one end of the cable into

an available USB port on the PC and plug the opposite end of the cable into the

communication port on the RFC1000.

3. Push and hold the wireless button on the RFPulse2000A for 5 seconds to activate

wireless communication. The display will conﬁrm “Wireless: ON” and the blue LED

will blink every 15 seconds.

4. Launch the MadgeTech 4 Software. All active MadgeTech Data Loggers that are within

range will automatically appear in the connected devices window. Each data logger in

the list can be identiﬁed by serial number (printed on the exterior of the logger).

5. To claim a device, select the desired data logger in the list and click the Claim icon.

6. Select the start method, reading rate and any other parameters appropriate for the

desired data logging application. Once conﬁgured, deploy the data logger by clicking

the Start icon.

7. To download data, select the device in the list, click the Stop icon, and then click the

Download icon. A graph will automatically display the data.

Quick Start Steps

1. Install the MadgeTech 4 Software and USB Drivers onto a Windows PC.

2. Before plugging the data logger in the computer, make sure the wireless setting on

the device is set to “Wireless: OFF”. If wireless mode is on, press and hold the Wireless

button on the device for 5 seconds.

3. The RFPulse2000A comes with a USB cable. Plug one end of the cable into an available

USB port on the PC and plug the opposite end of the cable into the communication

port on the RFPulse2000A.

4. Launch the MadgeTech 4 Software. The RFPulse2000A will appear in the connected

devices window indicating the device has been recognized.

5. Select the start method, reading rate and any other parameters appropriate for the

desired data logging application. Once conﬁgured, deploy the data logger by clicking

the Start icon.

6. To download data, select the device in the list, click the Stop icon, and then click the

Download icon. A graph will automatically display the data.

Product User Guide

Product Overview

The RFPulse2000A is a wireless data logger that records pulse output signals from various

sensors such as ﬂow meters and anemometers. When started, the data logger samples at

100Hz and at the user speciﬁed reading rate.

The RFPulse2000A features a display screen which provides instant access to the current

reading, minimum, maximum and average statistics. Through the software the device

can be programmed to convert the pulse output into a different unit of measure such as

gallons per minute or miles per hour. This information is available on the LCD screen of the

data logger as well as in the software.

The RFPulse2000A is unique in that it not only calculates pulse count, but it also calculates

pulse rate. Engineering units can be programmed into the device as a rate, which allows

the device to calculate the measurement unit in rates per second, minute, hour or per

day. This provides more useful statistics to the user when data logging over long periods

of time.

Selection Buttons

The logger is designed with 3 direct selection buttons: Scroll, Units and Wireless.

• Scroll: Allows user to scroll through current readings, average stats and device status

information displayed on the LCD Screen.

•Units: Allows user to change displayed units of measure to pulses per sec/min/hour/day/

total number of pulses.

•Wireless: Push and hold this button for 5 seconds to activate or deactivate wireless

communication.

•Manual Reset Option: Allows user to manually reset the statistics within the device to 0

without needing to use the MadgeTech software. Any data recorded up to that point is

recorded and saved.

LED Indicators

• Status: Green LED blinks every 5 seconds to indicate unit is logging.

• Wireless: Blue LED blinks every 15 seconds to indicate unit is operating in wireless mode.

• Alarm: Red LED blinks every 1 second to indicate an alarm condition.

Connecting Information

Port Information

The RFPulse2000A data logger terminal ports are located on the bottom of the device, one

positive and one negative. RFPulse2000A provides an internal pull up 2.88V@ 250uA.

Note about polarity: If the input signal has an external power supply, (I.E. a 9V Logic) connect

the (+) to the 9V and the (-) to the ground connection. Maximum input Voltage is 30V. If the

internal pull-up is sufﬁcient, connect the (+) to the internal positive and the (-) to the ground. If

a connection to a switch is desired, either port can be used.

Additional Features and Operation

Alarm Settings/Rules

In MadgeTech 4, alarms can be created

on two levels; in the software itself, and

programmed speciﬁcally to the data logger.

Creating alarm rules in the software allows

the user to utilize alarms while real time

recording, and have the added beneﬁt of

features such as e-mail and SMS notiﬁcation.

An alarm that is programmed on the data

logger will only alert the user from the

device itself, whether that is by a ﬂashing

LED, audible alarm, or local LCD notiﬁcation.

Creating a Real time Alarm Rule

1. Within the Device tab in MadgeTech 4, in the Alarms group, click Manage Rules,

then select New.

2. Enter a name in the Rule name box, and select whether notiﬁcations will occur when

All conditions are met or Any condition is met.

3. Select the desired conditions to have met before notiﬁcations occur, and select which

notiﬁcations will occur from the drop down menus.

4. If selecting to receive notiﬁcations by email or text message, click Email settings and

make sure the correct info has been entered. Email and text message notiﬁcations will

not be received if settings are incorrect.

5. Click OK. The OK button will be disabled if the Rule name box is empty.

Changing the Alarm Settings of a Device

1. In the Connected devices panel, select the RFPulse2000A device.

2. Click the Properties button under the device tab at the top of the software, and select

the Alarm tab in the Properties window.

3. The High and Low settings indicate reading thresholds at which the alarm becomes active.

4. The Delay setting indicates how long to wait before the alarm becomes active after

passing an alarm threshold.

5. The Use cumulative alarm delay checkbox indicates whether the alarm delay should

reset when reading values fall back within the alarm threshold.

6. Once the alarm is conﬁgured appropriately, click Apply to save the settings.

**Please refer to the Help ﬁle in the MadgeTech software for more information regarding alarm settings**

Product User Guide

The base provided with the RFPulse2000A can be used in two ways.

• The bottom of the logger snaps in place to use and mount the unit on a table top or

horizontal surface.

• The base can also securely snap to the backside of the logger for wall mounting if desired

(as shown below).

• There are two holes in the base to allow for screws for mounting.
