C. ADDING ADDITIONAL REMOTE TEMPERATURE

SENSORS (OPTIONAL)

1. The WS-7013U is able to receive signals from 3 different remote temperature sensors. Following are some brief instructions for the basic set-up of remote temperature sensor units with the WS-7013U. These extra sensors can be purchased through the same dealer as this unit, or by contacting La Crosse Technology directly . A TX2U and TX6U will monitor temperature only, a TX3U will monitor temperature and display the temperature on its LCD, and the TX3UP will monitor the temperature via a probe for use in pools, spas, etc.

Note

: When setting up multiple units it is important to remove the batteries from all existing units in operation, then to insert batteries first into all the remote temperature sensor units, and in numeric sequence. Second, install batteries into the indoor temperature station. Transmission problems will arise if this is not done correctly and if the total time for set-up exceeds 6 minutes.

2. It is necessary to remove the batteries from all units

currently in operation.

3. Remove the battery covers to all remote temperature

sensor units.

4. Place all remote temperature sensor units in a numeric

sequential order.

5. In sequential order, install batteries (follow the same

P.8

P.9

-battery installation procedures seen in section "I" of the Detailed Set-Up Guide).

6. Install batteries into the indoor temperature station.

7. Follow the Detailed Set-Up Guide for progr amming and operating instructions.

D. VIEWING AND OPERATING WITH MULTIPLE

REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR UNITS

1. To view the temperature of a different remote temperature sensor unit, press and release the "CH" button. A shift from one "boxed" number to the next should be observed in the OUTDOOR LCD.

2. T o view the Minim um/Maximum temperature: first select from which remote temperature sensor to read data (indicated by the "boxed" number). Pressing and releasing the "MIN/MAX" button will toggle through the minimum and maximum indoor temperature, and the minimum and maximum outdoor temperature.

3. To reset the Minimum/Maximum readings, press and hold the "MIN/MAX" button for four seconds.

V. MOUNTING

Note

: To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting in direct sunlight. We recommend that y ou mount the remote temperature sensor on an outside North-facing wall. The sending range is 80ft; obstacles such as walls, concrete, and large metal objects will reduce the range. Place both units in their desired location before permanently mounting.

A. REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR

1. Remove the mounting bracket from the remote

temperature sensor

2. Mount using either screws or adhesive tape.

3. Reattach the remote temperature sensor to the mounting bracket.

B. THE TEMPERA TURE STA TION

1. The indoor temperature station comes with the table stand already mounted. If you wish to use the tablestand, all that is required is to place the indoor temperature station in an appropriate location.

2. To wall mount, remove the table stand. To do this, pull down on the stand from the rear and rotate forward. a) Fix a screw (not included) into the desired wall, and

place the indoor temperature station onto the screw using the hanging hole on the backside. Gently pull the indoor temperature station down to lock the screw into place.

TROUBLESHOOTING

NOTE

: For prob lems not solv ed, please contact La Crosse Technology via e-mail or phone, or visit our website, www. lacrossetechnology.com

Problem: The LCD is faint Solution: Replace batteries

Problem: No outdoor temperature is displayed. Solution:

1) Remove all batteries, reinsert into remote temperature

sensor first, and then into the indoor temperature station.

2) Place remote temperature sensor closer to the indoor

temperature station.

P.10

3) Be sure all batteries are fresh.

4) Place remote temperature sensor and indoor temperature station in position so the straight-line signal is not passing through more than two or three walls.

Problem: Temperatures do not match if units are placed Solution: Each temperature sensor is manufactured to

next to each other. be accurate to within 1 degree plus or minus

and under normal conditions; so two temperature sensors could be as much as 2 degrees different. However, the difference can be exaggerated further because the temperature sensors are designed for different working environments. The indoor sensor is less responsive to ambient air currents because of the shielding effect of the display's case. In addition, the case can act as a heat sink to absorb and store heat from external sources (i. e. handling of the case or radiant heat). In addition, the much greater range of the outdoor temperature sensor requires a different calibration curve than the indoor range. Error is usually greater at the extreme ends of a range, making it harder to compare different ranges with different curves. Under nonlaboratory conditions, it is difficult to compensate for the above factors and obtain an accurate comparison.
