The Outdoor Temperature Sensor

Remote transmission of outdoor temperature to Weather Station by 915 MHz

Shower proof casing

Wall mounting case (Mounting at a sheltered place. Avoid direct rain and sunshine)

SETTING UP:

Note: This weather station receives only one outdoor sensor.

IMPORTANT:

Please place the Weather station at least 5 feet away from the Sensor before inserting the batteries in the units in order for the Sensor to transmit accurate initial data to the Weather station.

5

1.First, insert the batteries into the Temperature sensor. (see “Install and replace batteries in the Temperature sensor“).

2.Immediately after and within 30 seconds, insert the batteries into Weather station (see “Install and replace batteries in the Weather station”). Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the time as 12:00 and the "Weather man" icon will be displayed. If these are not displayed after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 10 seconds before reinserting them.

3.After inserting the batteries, the Weather station will start receiving data from the sensor. The outdoor temperature and the signal reception icon should then be displayed on the Weather station. If this does not happen after 3 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.

4.In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission however, this should under good conditions be a distance no more than 100 meters between the final position of the Weather Station and the sensor (see notes on “Mounting” and “915 MHz Reception”).

Note:

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

INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR

The Temperature Sensor uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:

1.Remove the battery compartment cover at the back of the sensor.

2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see marking). 3. Replace the battery compartment cover on the unit.

Note:

In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following the setting up procedures. This is because a random security code is assigned by the sensor at start-up and this code must be received and stored by the Weather station in the first 3 minutes of power being supplied to it.

BATTERY CHANGE:

It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units regularly to ensure optimum accuracy of these units (Battery life See Specifications below).
