Mounting Instructions

The Therm•A•lert comes with 3M™ Dual Lock™ Recloseable Fasteners on the back of the 
device to allow for quick and easy device mounting on any surface. For best performance, the 
Therm•A•lert should always be mounted in an upright position. This will allow for the best 
path for the wireless signal.

Transmission Distance

Typical transmission distance from an RFC1000 to a Therm•A•lert:

 

»

Unobstructed line of sight (outdoors): 2,000 feet max

 

»

Typical urban environment (indoors): 500 feet max

Obstacles 

Obstacles will decrease the line-of-sight from an RFC1000 to another RFC1000 as well as from an 
RFC1000 to a Therm•A•lert. Obstacles that interfere with or decrease the wireless signal could 
include but are not limited to building structures such as walls and metal beams. Additional 
RFC1000's can be placed near obstacles to lengthen and strengthen the wireless signal.

Product Overview

The Therm•A•lert is a precision wireless data logger with alarm capabilities designed 
specifically for laboratories, warehouses and other environments where continuous 
temperature monitoring is critical. The system can be used to monitor a single location, or 
expanded to monitor hundreds of locations over a broad area (additional MadgeTech wireless 
loggers and transceivers may be required).
