SETTING UP:
When one transmitter is used:
1. First, insert the batteries into the transmitter (see “How to install and replace batteries in the
Temperature transmitter” below).
2. Within 30 seconds of powering up the transmitter, insert the batteries to the Temperature Station (see
“How to install and replace batteries in the Temperature Station” below). Once the batteries are in
place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Then the indoor temperature and the time as 12:00 will
be displayed. If they are not shown on LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least
60 seconds before reinserting them. Once the indoor data is displayed, user may proceed to the next
step.
3. After the batteries are inserted, the Temperature Station will start receiving data signal from the
transmitter.
4. The outdoor temperature should be displayed on the Temperature Station. Also, the signal reception icon
will be displayed. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both
units and reset from step 1.
5. In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission, the final position between the Temperature Station
and the transmitter should not be more than 330 feet / 100 meters (see notes on “Positioning” and “915
MHz Reception”).
6. Batteries are the #1 warranty issue we see. Please be sure you are using name brand plain alkaline
batteries dated at least 7 years in advance or testing to 1.48 on a voltmeter that reads in numbers.
6
When more than one transmitter is used
1. User shall remove all the batteries from the Temperature Station and transmitters and wait
60 seconds if setting has been done with one transmitter first.
2. Insert the batteries to the first transmitter.
3. Within 30 seconds of powering up the first transmitter, insert the batteries to the
Temperature Station. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up
briefly. Following time as 12:00 will be displayed. If the time is not shown in LCD after 60
seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them.
4. The outdoor temperature from the first transmitter (channel 1) should then be displayed on
the Temperature Station. Also, the signal reception icon will be displayed. If this does not
happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset
from step 1.
5. Insert the batteries to the second transmitter as soon as the outdoor temperature readings
from the first transmitter are displayed on the Temperature Station.
Note: User shall insert the batteries into the second transmitter within 10 seconds of reception
of the first transmitter.
7
6. The outdoor temperature from the second transmitter and the "channel 2" icon should
then be displayed on the Temperature Station. If this does not happen after 2 minute, the
batteries will need to be removed from all the units and reset from step 1.
7. Insert the batteries to the third transmitter as soon as the "channel 2" icon and outdoor
temperature data is displayed on the Temperature Station. Then within 2 minutes, the
channel 3 outdoor data from the third transmitter will be displayed and the channel icon
will shift back to "1" once the third transmitter is successfully received. If this is not
happen, user shall restart the setting up from step 1.
Note: User shall insert the batteries into the third transmitter within 10 seconds of reception of
the second transmitter.
8. In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission there should be no more than 330
feet (100 meters) between the final position of the Temperature Station and the
transmitter (see notes on “Mounting” and “915 MHz Reception”).
Note:
If the signal reception is not successful on the first frequency (915MHz) for 40 seconds, the
frequency is changed to 920MHz and the learning is tried another 40 seconds. If still not
8
successful the reception is tried for 40 seconds on 910MHz. This will also be done for resynchronization.
IMPORTANT:
Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional transmitters is not followed as
described above. Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to remove the batteries
from all units and start again the set-up from step 1.
HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
The Temperature transmitter uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. When
batteries will need to be replaced, the low battery icon will appear on the
LCD of the Temperature Station. To install and replace the batteries, please
follow the steps below:
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see marking).
3. Replace the battery holder to the unit.
Note:
In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all
units need to be
9
reset by following the setup procedures. This is because a random security code is assigned by
the transmitter at start-up and this code must be received and stored by the Temperature
Station in the first few minutes of power supplying.
HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE STATION
BATTERY CHANGE:
It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units every 12 months to ensure optimum
accuracy of these units.
The Temperature Station uses 2 x AAA, IEC LR3, 1.5V batteries.
When batteries will need to be replaced, the low battery icon will
appear on the LCD. To install and replace the batteries, please follow
the steps below:
1. Lift up the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert batteries observing the correct polarity (see marking).
3. Replace compartment cover.
