  • Bluetooth is enabled on your smart device.
  • Location Services are enabled on your smart device.
  • RFX GATEWAY is turned on and next to your smart device.
  • RFX GATEWAY is within range of your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. If you aren’t sure if you have a 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi network, contact your internet service provider. 
  • You have your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network’s name and password, including the correct letter case and punctuation. RFX GATEWAY will also operate on an open network.

  • Upon opening the app, you will be on the Device Dashboard. If you find yourself on any other page, you can select the Menu in the top left hand corner and then choose choose Devices.
  • Click on the + Device button.
  • Select RFX GATEWAY from the menu.
  • After scanning, a list of any available RFX GATEWAY units will appear. If multiple RFX GATWAY units appear, choose the RFX GATEWAY with the corresponding Device ID, found on the right- hand side of RFX GATEWAY by the USB port. 
  • RFX GATEWAY will use a Bluetooth connection to send Wi-Fi credentials After the Bluetooth connection is made, a Setup Network Info dialogue will appear. Click → Continue.
  • Enter your 2.4 GHz network’s name and password. Leave the password field empty if using an open network.
  • After the network connection is established, RFX GATEWAY is ready to use. You will be directed to a page to name the RFX GATEWAY and select the Transmission Interval Rate for the Pro-Series probe port. 
  • The next page allows you to change the channel settings of the Pro-Series probe and set the high and low alarms. This can be updated anytime in the device settings.

Before you begin, ensure that…

  • You have set up your RFX GATEWAY on your ThermoWorks Cloud account 
  • RFX GATEWAY is nearby, turned on, and within your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. RFX GATEWAY is required for RFX MEAT to connect to ThermoWorks Cloud.
  • RFX MEAT is charged and placed inside the charging block. 

In the ThermoWorks App

  • Upon opening the app, you will be on the Device Dashboard. If you find yourself on any other page, you can select the Menu in the top left hand corner and then choose choose Devices.
  • Click on the + Device button.
  • Select RFX MEAT from the menu.
  • Verify that your RFX GATEWAY is turned on and connected to Wi-Fi. The LED should be solid green. 
  • Remove the RFX MEAT from the charging block. Touch RFX MEAT to the RFFX GATEWAY antenna to add it to your account. This process may take up to 2 minutes. 
  • The next page will allow you to change device settings. These settings can be changed at any time by selecting the device from your dashboard. 

NOTE: If your RFX MEAT was not detected during the setup process, check your Device Dashboard—it may have been added automatically. This can happen if RFX MEAT was removed from the charging block too early in the setup process.
