Product User Guide
Product Overview
The RFCurrent2000A is a wireless data logger with display, designed to measure and record
DC current signals. The data logger can connect directly to low-level DC current sources
which makes it ideal for battery usage studies, energy monitoring studies and other DC
current monitoring applications. The RFCurrent2000A can also be interfaced with a wide
range of current output sensors such as flow meters, pH transmitters and more. Through the
software, the device can be programmed with engineering units, which convert the current
readings into a different unit of measure such as flow rate. The engineering unit is available
for display on the LCD screen as well as in the software. The RFCurrent2000A is available in
20mA, 160mA or a 3A measurement range.
The RFCurrent2000A features an LCD screen which provides instant access to the current
reading, minimum, maximum and average statistics. The statistics can be reset through
the keypad of the device, allowing customers to keep track of statistics over certain time
periods. This feature does not erase the data recorded, but only resets the statistics count.
The RFCurrent2000A can be used as a standalone data logger, or used with the RFC1000
wireless transceiver, to transmit data back to a central PC. The RFCurrent2000A transmits
up to 500 ft line of sight to the RFC1000 transceiver. Multiple RFC1000’s can be used as
repeaters and transmit up to 1000 ft line of sight to other RFC1000’s. This allows the data to
be sent over a greater distance.
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 measurement, A and mA Engineering Units.
• 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 Data Logging software. Any data recorded up to that point is
recorded and saved. To apply the manual reset, press and hold the scroll key down for
three seconds.
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.
