Product User GuideProduct OverviewThe RFPulse2000A is a wireless data logger that records pulse output signals from varioussensors such as flow meters and anemometers. When started, the data logger samples at100Hz and at the user specified reading rate.The RFPulse2000A features a display screen which provides instant access to the currentreading, minimum, maximum and average statistics. Through the software the devicecan be programmed to convert the pulse output into a different unit of measure such asgallons per minute or miles per hour. This information is available on the LCD screen of thedata logger as well as in the software.The RFPulse2000A is unique in that it not only calculates pulse count, but it also calculatespulse rate. Engineering units can be programmed into the device as a rate, which allowsthe device to calculate the measurement unit in rates per second, minute, hour or perday. This provides more useful statistics to the user when data logging over long periodsof time.Selection ButtonsThe logger is designed with 3 direct selection buttons: Scroll, Units and Wireless.• Scroll: Allows user to scroll through current readings, average stats and device statusinformation 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 wirelesscommunication.• Manual Reset Option: Allows user to manually reset the statistics within the device to 0without needing to use the MadgeTech software. Any data recorded up to that point isrecorded 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 InformationPort InformationThe RFPulse2000A data logger terminal ports are located on the bottom of the device, onepositive 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) connectthe (+) to the 9V and the (-) to the ground connection. Maximum input Voltage is 30V. If theinternal pull-up is sufficient, connect the (+) to the internal positive and the (-) to the ground. Ifa connection to a switch is desired, either port can be used.2Distributor: LoggerShop Technologies | DorsetTel: +44 (0)845 520 0202 Fax: +44 (0)845 520 0203 | Email: sales@loggershop.co.uk | www.loggershop.co.uk
