DETAILED SETUP GUIDE

I. BATTERY INSTALLATION (When one

thermo-hygro sensor is being used)

1. First, insert the batteries to the thermo-hygro sensor (see “A. thermo-hygro sensor” below).

2. Within 2 minutes of powering up the sensor, insert the batteries to the Wireless Weather Station (see “B. Wireless W eather Station” below). Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the indoor temperature and the time as 12:00 will be displayed. If they are not shown in 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 Weather Station will start receiving data signal from the sensor. The outdoor temperature and humidity should then be displayed on the Weather Station. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1 and the signal reception icon is no longer shown.

Sensor signal reception icon*

* When the signal is successfully received by

the Weather Station, the icon will be switched on. (If not successful, the icon will not be shown in LCD) So the user can easily see whether the last reception was successful (icon on) or not (icon off). On the other hand, the short blinking of the icon shows that a reception is being done now.

• If the signal reception is not successful on the first frequency (915MHz) for 45 seconds, the frequency is changed to 920MHz and the learning is tried another 45 seconds. If still not successful the reception is tried for

P.8

45 seconds on 910MHz. This will also be done for re-synchronization.

C. ADDING ADDITIONAL REMOTE

SENSORS (OPTIONAL)

The WS-7220U-IT is able to receive signals from 2 additional thermo-hygro sensors. The f ollowing are instructions for the set-up of thermo-hygro sensor units with the WS-7220U-IT. These e xtra sensors can be purchased through the same dealer as this unit.

1. Remove all the batteries from the receiver and sensor(s) and wait 60 seconds. During these 60 seconds, press any button 20 times to discharge any excess power.

2. Insert the batteries to the first thermo-hygro sensor.

3. Within 2 minutes of powering up the first sensor, insert the batteries to the Weather Station. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the indoor temperature and the time as 12:00 will be displayed. If they are not shown in LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them.

4. The outdoor temperature and humidity from the first sensor (channel 1) should then be displayed on the W eather Station. If this does not happen and the signal reception icon is not shown, 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 sensor as

P.11

soon as the outdoor temperature and humidity readings from the first sensor are displayed on the Weather Station.

NOTE:

You must insert the batter ies into the second sensor within 30 seconds of reception of the first sensor.

6. The outdoor temperature and humidity from the second sensor and the “channel 2” icon should then be displayed on the Weather 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. Inser t the batteries to the third sensor as soon as the “channel 2” icon and outdoor data are displayed on the Weather Station. Then within 2 minutes, the channel 3 outdoor data from the third sensor 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:

You must insert the batter ies into the third sensor within 30 seconds of reception of the second sensor.

IMPORTANT:

if the setting for multiple sensors is not follow ed as described above. Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to remove the batteries from all units and start again the setup from step 1.

Transmission problems will arise

P.12

D. VIEWING AND OPERATING WITH

MULTIPLE REMOTE SENSOR UNITS

1. To view the temperature of a different thermohygro sensor unit, press and release the SET/ CH button. A shift from one “boxed” number to the next should be observed on the right side of the OUTDOOR LCD.

2. To view the Minimum/Maximum temperature & humidity: first select from which thermohygro 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 and humidity.

3. To reset the Minimum/Maximum readings, press and hold the MIN/MAX button for 5 seconds.

III. MOUNTING

Note:

To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting in direct sunlight. We recommend that you mount the thermo-hygro sensor on an outside North-facing wall (under the eve of a house is ideal). The sending range is 330 feet; obstacles such as walls, stucco walls, concrete, and large metal objects will reduce the range. Place the Wireless W eather Station and thermohygro sensor in their desired locations before permanently mounting.

P.13

A. THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR

The thermo-hygro sensor can be mounted in two ways:

• with the use of screws, or

• using the adhesive tape.

A. MOUNTING WITH SCREWS

1. Remove the mounting bracket from the remote thermo-hygro sensor.

2. Place the mounting bracket over the desired location.

3. Through the three screw holes of the bracket, mark the mounting surface with a pencil.

4. Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. Ensure that the screws are flush with the bracket.

5. Inser t the thermo-hygro sensor into the bracket.

P.14

B. MOUNTING WITH ADHESIVE TAPE

Note:

The adhesive tape is not intended to be used as a permanent mounting solution. Only use the adhesive tape while you are positioning the Weather Station and thermo-hygro sensor.

1. With a nonabrasive solution, clean and dry

the back of the mounting bracket and the mounting surface to ensure a secure hold. The mounting surface should be smooth and flat.

2. Remove the protective strip from one side

of the tape.

3. Adhere the tape to the designated area on

the back of the mounting bracket.

4. Remove the protective strip from the other

side of the tape.

5. Position the remote thermo-hygro sensor in

the desired location, ensuring that the Weather Station can receive the signal.

P.15

Note:

Mounting with adhesive tape is not recommended as a permanent mounting solution. Only use the adhesive tape during set-up process

B. WIRELESS WEATHER STA TION

1. The Wireless Weather Station comes with the table stand attached to the back of the Receiver. If you wish to use the table-stand, simply place the Wireless Weather Station in an appropriate location, and pull out on the attached stand.

2. To wall mount, push the table stand flat against the Wireless Weather Station (if it isn’t already flat). Fix a screw (not included) into the desired wall, and place the Wireless Weather Station onto the screw using the hanging hole on the backside. Gently pull the Wireless Weather Station down to lock the screw into place.

TROUBLESHOOTING

NOTE:

For problems 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. Bring any units from outside, inside and

place the units 3 to 5 feet apart with nothing in-between them.

2. Remove the batteries from all units.

3. Press one of the buttons on the Wireless

Weather Station display at least 20 times to clear all memory. Verify that the display is blank before proceeding.

4. Using good quality alkaline batteries, place

the batteries back into the outdoor temperature sensor; making sure they are installed according to the diagrams in the battery compartment.

5. Taking care not to press any buttons , reinstall

the batteries in the Wireless Weather Station according to the diagram in the battery compartment.

6. Do not press any buttons for at least 15

minutes after installing the batteries. (This is to let the units establish a good connection.)

P.17

7. During the course of the 15 minutes an outdoor temperature should appear on the display . You can now put your sensor(s) bac k outside.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS

• Extreme temperatures, vibration, and shock should be avoided to prev ent 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 .
