QUICK SETUP
Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries.
1. Have the indoor temperature station
and remote temperature sensor 3 to 5 feet apart.
2. Batteries should be out of both
units for 10 minutes.
3. Place the batteries into the remote
temperature sensor first then into
the indoor temperature station. (All remote temperature sensors must be started before the indoor temperature station)
4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS
FOR 10 MINUTES.
In this time the indoor temperature station and remote temperature sensor will start to talk to each other and the
3
display will show both the indoor temperature and an outdoor temperature. If the indoor temperature station does not display both temperatures after the 10 minutes please retry the set up as stated above. After both indoor and outdoor temperatures are displayed for 10 minutes you can place your remote temperature sensor outdoors and set your time.
The remote temperature sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area. The remote temperature sensor has a range of 330 feet. Any walls that the signal will have to pass through will reduce distance. An outdoor wall or window will have 20 to 30 feet of resistance and an interior wall will have 10 to 20 feet of resistance. Your distance plus resistance should not exceed 330 ft. in a straight line.
4
NOTE: Fog and mist will not harm your remote temperature sensor but direct rain must be avoided.
To complete the set up of your indoor temperature station after the 10 minutes have passed please follow the steps on pages 8-9.

Resetting Min and Max Temperatures
To reset both the minimum and maximum temperatures—press and hold the “RESET/+” button for 4 seconds.
Adding Additional Remote Temperature Sensors (optional)
The WS-7034U-IT 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-7034U-IT. These extra remote temperature sensors can be purchased through the same dealer as this unit, or by contacting La Crosse Technology directly.
When setting up multiple remote temperature sensors, it is important to remove the batteries from all existing units in operation, then to insert batteries
10
first into all the remote temperature sensors. Second install batteries into the indoor temperature station and do not press any buttons for ten minutes. Transmission problems will arise if this is not done correctly.
To view the temperature of a different remote temperature sensor unit, press and release the “SET/CH” button. A shift from one number to the next should be observed in the OUTDOOR LCD.
MOUNTING Note:
To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting in direct sunlight. We recommend that you mount the remote temperature sensor on a North-facing wall. The sending range is 330ft; obstacles such as walls, concrete, and large metal objects will reduce the range. Place both units in their desired location before permanently mounting.
11
Remote Temperature Sensor
1. Remove the mounting bracket from the
remote temperature sensor.
2. Mount the bracket in the desired
location with either screws or adhesive tape.
3. Reattach the remote temperature sensor
into mounting bracket.
Indoor Temperature Station
The indoor temperature station comes with the table stand already mounted. If you wish to use the table-stand all that is required is to place the indoor temperature station in an appropriate location.
1. To wall mount the indoor temperature
station first remove the table stand.
2. Next insert an appropriate screw in
your desired location.
3. Using the integrated hanging hole on
the back of the unit, slip indoor
12
temperature station over the screw and pull down to secure.
TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE: For problems not solved, 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, then into the indoor temperature station.
2. Place remote temperature sensor closer
to the indoor temperature station.
3. Be sure all batteries are fresh.
4. Place remote temperature sensor and
indoor temperature station in position
13
so the straight-line signal is not passing through more than two or three walls.
Problem: Temperatures do not match if
units are placed next to each other.
Solution: Each temperature sensor is manufactured to be accurate to within 1 degree plus or minus and under normal conditions, so two sensors could be as much as 2 degrees different. However, the difference can be exaggerated further because the 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). Also, 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 non-laboratory conditions, it
14
is difficult to compensate for the above factors and obtain an accurate comparison.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Extreme temperatures, vibration, and
shock should be avoided to prevent damage to the units.
Clean displays and units with a soft,
damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents; they may mark the displays and casings.
Do not submerge in water.
Do not subject the units to unnecessary
heat or cold by placing them in the oven or freezer.
Opening the casings invalidates the
warranty. Do not try to repair the unit. Contact La Crosse Technology repairs.
