The Outdoor Dual Channel Temperature Transmitter

Optional
external probe

• Remote transmission of outdoor

temperature to Temperature Station by
868 MHz signals

• Dual channel transmitter*: one internal

channel and one probe channel

• Shower proof casing

• Wall mounting stand

This socket is only for the
external probe. Do not
apply power plug to it.

*DUAL CHANNEL TRANSMITTER -

There are an internal channel and an external probe channel in the transmitter.
The data measured by the internal sensor an d the measuring probe will be
shown on the transmitter's display as Channel "1" a nd "2" respectively. The
two readings will be automatically toggled to displa y. However, if the probe is
unplugged, the transmitter' s display will only show the reading from the inner
sensor.
Once the transmitter is successfully recognized by the temperature station,
Channel 1 of the Temperature station will display the temperature data
measured by internal sensor and Channel 2 will display the temperature
estimated by the probe.
If the measuring probe is unplugged, the "probe channel" on Temperature
station will show "---", yet the data from the internal sensor wi ll still be shown
on Channel 1 .
The probe can be connected to the remote temperature sensor anytime after
initial setup. There is no need to reset the units, should the probe be

43

unplugged or re-plugged again. The Temperature Station will automatically
detect the temperature probe data and will display the temperature data on
Channel 2 after the probe is plugged.

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 2 minutes 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 0:00 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.

44

3. After the batteries are inserted, the Temperature Station will start
receiving data signal from the transmitter.

4. If the optional probe has been plugged to the d ual channel tra nsmitter,
the outdoor temperature should then be displayed on the Temperature
Station on channel 1 and 2. Also, the signal reception icon will be
displayed. If this does not
need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.

Note:

Channel 1 will show the reading from the internal sensor of the dual channel
transmitter; Channel 2 will show the reading sensed by the probe. If the probe
is not plugged to the transmitter, " - -" will be shown on Channel 2.

5. In order to ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission, the final position
between the Temperature Station and the transmitter should not b e
more than 100 meters (see notes on “Positioning” and “868 MHz
Reception”).

happen after 2 min utes, the batteries will

When two transmitters are 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 before).

2. Insert the batteries into the first transmitter.

3. Within 2 minutes of powering up the first transmitter, insert the batteries

into the Temperature Station. Once the batteries are in place, all
segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Then the indoor temperature
and the time as 0:00 will be displayed. If they are n ot sho wn on the LCD
after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait f or at least 60 seconds
before reinserting them.

4. The outdoor te mperature readings from the first transmitter (Channel 1

and 2) should then be displayed on the Temperature Sta tion (if probe
sensor has been installed onto the first transmitter). If this does not
happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both
units and reset from step 1.

46

5. Insert the batteries into the seco nd transmitter as soon as the outdoor

temperatures from the first transmitter are displayed on the T e mperatur e
Station.

Note: User must insert the batteries into the second transmitter within 30
seconds of reception of the first transmitter.

6. The outdoor temperature reading from the second transmitter will be

shown on the LCD and the Channel No. will shift back to "1", indicating
that all three channels are running successfully. If this does not happen
after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed fr om all the units
and reset from step 1.

Note: After the Temperature Station has successfully received the second
transmitter, Channel 3 will display the data measured by the internal sensor of
the second dual channel transmitter. Yet the probe data from the second
transmitter will not be displayed on the Temperature Station.
