Different wireless channels may be used to create multiple networks in one area, or to avoid wireless
interference from other devices. Any MadgeTech data logger or RFC1000 wireless transceiver 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. MadgeTech wireless data
loggers and RFC1000 wireless transceivers are programmed by default on channel 25.
Changing the channel settings of the RFOT
1.
Unscrew the end cap and gently separating the end from the
body of the data logger. Flip the black switch located inside
to the wireless position to ‘0’ (‘0’ indicates non-wireless
mode, ‘1’ indicates wireless mode).
2.
The RFOT has a set of DIP Switches located on the back of
the PCB, on the opposite side of the battery (diagram 1a).
3.
Change the DIP Switches to match the desired channel
(diagram 1b)
.
4.
Return the wireless switch to ‘1’.
5.
Screw the body of the logger back together making sure the
O-Rings are not visible.
