Installing the MadgeTech 4 Software
The MadgeTech 4 Software makes the process of downloading and reviewing data quick
and easy, and is free to download from the MadgeTech website.
1.
Download the MadgeTech 4 Software on a Windows PC by going to:
madgetech.com/software-download
.
2.
Locate and unzip the downloaded file (typically you can do this by right clicking on the
file and selecting Extract).
3.
Open the MTInstaller.exe file.
4.
You will be prompted to select a language, then follow the instructions provided in the
MadgeTech 4 Setup Wizard to finish the MadgeTech 4 Software installation.
Warning: Note the polarity instructions. Do not attach wires to the wrong terminals.

Device Operation
Using the pHTemp2000
1.
The pH electrode should have a BNC output connection, or an appropriate adapter.
Select a probe with an output impedance less than 300 megaohms at the desired tem-
perature.
2.
The temperature probe must be a 100
Ω
platinum RTD, in the standard 2,3 or 4-wire
configuration. The pHTemp2000 is designed to achieve exceptional accuracy with the
4-wire probe, but will still yield measurements better than required for a pH-measure-
ment with the 2 or 3-wire probes.
3.
Insure that the probe you select can be connected to the pHTemp2000 RTD input by
selecting a probe with lead wires, or by attaching an adapter that will allow you to con-
nect wire leads to the probe.
4.
Connect the probes to the data logger.
5.
Refer to the description of your pH probe for a calibration procedure.
100
Ω
, 2 or 4 wire RTD probes are recommended for the most accurate performance. Most
100
Ω
, 3-wire RTD probes will work, but MadgeTech cannot guarantee the accuracy. To
determine whether or not the 3-wire RTD probe will work, the resistance between the two
same colored wires should be less than 1
Ω
. (Note: Please contact the manufacturer of the
RTD probe for questions on the resistance)
