BATTERY INSTALLATION
NOTE: When the temperature falls below freezing point
32°F (0°C), battery voltage will drop which may result in
reduced the transmission range. For optimum
performance in cold weather conditions, we recommend
using lithium batteries.
NOTE: Install the batteries and select the channel before
mounting the remote sensor.
Remove the screws from the battery compartment with a small
Phillips screwdriver (not included).
Set the channel 1 through 3. The switch is located in the battery
compartment. Channel 1 is typically selected if only one remote
sensor is being used.
Install 2 “AA” size alkaline batteries (not included) matching
the polarities shown in the battery compartment.
Replace the battery compartment door and secure the screws.
Secure the remote sensor in the desired location.
MOUNTING
The remote sensor can be mounted either horizontally or
vertically.
Use a screw, rather than a nail, to securely mount the sensor.
When mounting the main unit on a vertical surface, fold the
built-in table stand back into the unit, allowing the main unit to
lie flush with the surface.
PLACEMENT
The remote sensor should be placed under eaves or a similar
location with free air circulation sheltered from direct sunlight
and extreme weather.
Ideally, place the remote sensor over soil, rather than asphalt
which would cause false readings.
Avoid placing the remote sensor near sources of heat, such as
chimneys and heating elements
Avoid areas that collect heat from the sun and radiate heat,
such as metal, brick or concrete structures, paving, and patios
The international standard for the valid air temperature
measurements is 4 feet (1.25meters) above the ground
OPERATION
Immediately after batteries are installed, the remote sensor will
start transmitting a temperature and humidity data to the main
unit.
