Welcome to theTaylor® 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 wirelesslyreports outdoor weather conditions back to the base unit for an all-in-one weather display.

Plan your work day,play day,every day. Now that’s smart!

How to Set up Your WeatherGuide

 

System

Base Unit

 

 

 

Your WeatherGuide™ bas unit may b

powered by either an AC

adaptor (included) r 2 AAA batteries (not includ d).

Adaptor ower – ins r the connector end of the adaptor into

the jack on the side of the base nit. Plug the other end into the

pr per electrical outlet.

 

 

Battery Power – Remove the battery compartment cover on

the back of the nit. Install 2 AAA batterie . Replace the battery

compar ment cover.

 

 

Important:Power the base unit befor

installing batteries in the re-

m te s nsor,or the units’ ransmissions ma not properlyconnect.

Remote S nsor

Unscrew th 4 screws securing the remote sensor’s battery compartment c ver located on the b ck of the unit. Install 2 AAA batteries. (Tip: Lithium batteries are r commende in extremely cold or hot locations.)

First, power up the base unit, using either the AC adaptor or 2 AAA batteries. Next, install 2 AAA batteries into the remote sensor. Place the base unit as close as possible to the remote unit.

There 3is a Channel switch in the remote sensor battery compartment. Move the

switch to Channel 1.

Move channel switch to Channel 1

Press the “TX” button located inside the remote sensor battery compartment.This will send a transmission signal to the base unit.The red LED Indicator light will flash

when a signal is transmitted.

Press the Tx button to send transmission signal to base unit

Transmission successful

If the transmission is successful,the remote

sensor readings and a “ ” icon will appear on the base unit. If dashes are still displayed on the receiver unit, press the Tx button again.

To change the remote sensor’s temperature display to Celsius, press the “+C/F” button inside the remote’s battery compartment.

 

Replace the remote’s battery compart-

Select °F or °C for remote

ment cover.

The remote will automatically transmit readings to the base unit.

• The first remote registered will transmit every 53 seconds.

• If a second remote is registered,4it will transmit every 56 seconds.

• If a third remote is registered, it will transmit every 59 seconds.

Note: A maximum of 3 remote sensor units can be registered. Should you purchase one or two additional remote units (Model 1536, sold separately) to expand your thermometer monitoring capabilities to multiple locations, slide the CH switch to Channel 2 to register the second sensor and select Channel 3 to register the third sensor.The Channel number assigned will appear on the remote’s LCD screen.

Table top – use the Table Stand on the back of the base and remote sensor units

Wall– use the keyhole on the back of the base and remotesensor units.

Base unit location –

Place the unit indoors in a well-ventilated location awayfrom direct sunlight.

Remote sensor location

The transmission range of the remote sensor is 100 feet.The effective transmission range is vastly affected by obstacles such as walls, sheds, trees, etc.Try various set ups for the best results. Shorten the distance between receiver and remote units when necessary. Place indoor in a well ventilated location away from direct sunlight. Place the sensor in a dry, shaded area. Direct sunlight will heat the casing and inflate temperatures readings.

Important: Though the remote unit is weather proof, it should be placed away from direct sunlight, rain, snow and should never be submerged in water.

A maximum of 3 remote sensor units can be registered. One remote sensor is included.To purchase additional Remote Sensors (Taylor model 1536), please visit www.partshelf.com.

Your WeatherGuide™ has a radio-controlled clock/calendar that sets itself to the radio signal transmitted by the U.S.Atomic Clock located in Colorado.To synchronize the atomic clock:

1.Press and hold the “-PMCE/RCC” button on the back of the base unit.The

 

 

 

 

 

 

unit will beep.The antenna icon

available at the moment.Try another location later away from possible sources of interference, such as mobile phones, appliances, computers, refrigerators,TVs, etc. Daytime conditions such as sunlight and other atmospheric interferences can affect synchronization; try setting the clock during evening hours. Please note:if the signal is weak,it may take up to 24 hours for the atomic clock to establish a connection. In the meantime, the clock may be manually set. Once the atomic signal is found, it will override the manually programmed time and date.

The Atomic Clock will have a daily synchronization at 2:05 am Pacific Time every day. Each reception cycle is 2.5 minutes minimum and 10 minutes maximum.
