Taylor 1512, 1512RMT Instruction Manual

WeatherGuide™ System with Remote Sensor

Models 1512 / 1512RMT

Instruction Manual

Welcome to the Taylor® WeatherGuide™ System. Simple, reliable, accurate…it allows you to monitor indoor

or outdoor locations from one room. The base unit reads indoor conditions, while the remote sensor wirelessly
reports outdoor weather conditions back to the base unit for an all-in-one weather display.

NOTE: Some units have a static cling label over the digital display. Please remove before use.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

The base unit operates on 2 AA batteries and the remote sensor operates on 2 AAA batteries (batteries not
included). Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (ni­cad, ni-mh, etc.) batteries.

(Tip: Lithium batteries are recommended in extremely cold or hot locations.)
IMPORTANT: Install batteries in the base unit first, then the remote sensor, otherwise the units’ transmissions

may not properly connect. Place the base unit as close as possible to the remote sensor when installing batteries.

Base Unit
The battery compartment is located on the back of the unit. Remove the battery compartment door. Install (2)
AA size batteries into the battery compartment according to the polarity markings. Replace the battery
compartment door.

Remote Sensor
The battery compartment is located on the back of the unit. Slide off the battery compartment cover. Install (2)
AAA size batteries into the battery compartment according to the polarity markings. Replace the battery
compartment door.

After Batteries are Installed:
Allow at least 3 minutes for the base unit to analyze current temperature conditions and connect with the remote
sensor. A transmission signal icon (“ ”) will begin to flash on the base unit during this time. After 3 minutes,
the transmission signal will only flash when a signal is received from the remote sensor.
The remote transmits temperatures once a minute. A transmission signal icon “ ” on the remote flashes when
a signal is sent.
Note: While the base unit is in “analyzing” mode, other functions (such as switching to outdoor temperatures
and setting the clock) may not be operational. Once the “analyzing” mode is complete, the other functions will
become operational.

ADDITIONAL REMOTE SENSORS
A maximum of 3 remote sensor units can be used with the base unit; one is included. Should you purchase one
or two additional remote units (Model 1512RMT, sold separately), first install batteries in the remote, and then

press the CH button inside the remote’s battery compartment to select Channel 2 or Channel 3. The Channel

number assigned will appear on the remote’s LCD screen.

TEMPERATURE READINGS

● The base unit displays the indoor temperature (“INDOOR”) from its location.

● The remote sensor transmits outdoor temperature (“OUTDOOR”) from its location back to the base unit.

● To switch between outdoor or auto scroll displays, press the “UP/CH” (up/channel) button.

- A Channel icon (CH1, CH2, or CH3) = indicates which remote sensor’s readings are displayed.

- The “ ” icon = indicates the auto scroll option is on. The base unit will automatically scroll between indoor
readings and remote sensor readings and display each for 5 seconds.

● To switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature displays:

unit. Both indoor and outdoor readings will display in °F or °C.

- Remote sensor - Press the “C/F” button inside the battery compartment of the remote sensor to change the
temperature display on the remote sensor. (Only the remote sensor display will change; the base unit
display will not change.)
