5. Insert two AAA batteries.

6. After inserting the batteries, the remote sensor LED indicator will light for 4 seconds, and

then flash once per 60 seconds thereafter. Each time it flashes, the sensor is transmitting data.

7. Verify the correct channel number (CH) and temperature units of measure (°F vs. °C) are on

the display, as shown in Figure 3.

8. Close the battery door. Make sure the gasket (around the battery compartment) is properly

seated in its trace prior to closing the door. Tighten the set screw.

2.3 Display Console Set Up

1. Move the remote thermo-hygrometer(s) about 5 to 10’ away from the display console (if the

sensor is too close, it may not be received by the display console). If you have more than one

thermo-hygrometer, make sure they are all powered up and transmitting on different channels.

2. Remove the battery door on the back of the display, as shown in Figure 4. Insert four AAA

(alkaline or lithium, avoid rechargeable) batteries in the back of the display console.

Figure 4

All of the LCD segments will light up for a few seconds to verify all segments are operating properly.

3. Replace the battery door, and fold out the desk stand and place the console in the upright

position.

The console will instantly display indoor temperature and humidity as designated by the

icon. The remote temperature and humidity will update on the display within a few minutes

on the appropriate channel.

While in the search mode, the remote search icon will be constantly displayed.

If you have more than once remote sensor (up to eight remotes are supported), the display

will automatically toggle between sensors until all sensors have reported in.

Do not touch any buttons until the remote sensor has reported in, or the radio search icon

is no longer on, otherwise the remote sensor search mode will be terminated. When the

remote sensor temperature and humidity has been received, the console will automatically

switch to the normal mode, and all further settings can be performed.

If the remote does not update, please reference the troubleshooting guide in Section 8.

2.3.2 Sensor Operation Verification

Verify the indoor and outdoor humidity match closely with the console and sensor array in the same

location (about 5 to 10’ apart). The sensors should be within 10% (the accuracy is ± 5%). Allow

about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize. The humidity can be adjusted or calibrated later to

match each other a known source.

Verify the indoor and outdoor temperature match closely with the console and sensor array in the same

location (about 5 to 10’ apart). The sensors should be within 2°F (the accuracy is ± 1°F). Allow

about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize. The temperature can be adjusted or calibrated later to

match each other or a known source.

3Remote Sensor Installation

It is recommended you mount the remote sensor on a north facing wall, in a shaded area. Direct

sunlight and radiant heat sources will result in inaccurate temperature readings. Although the sensor is

water resistant, it is best to mount in a well protected area, such as under an eve. Use a screw or nail

(not included) to affix the remote sensor to the wall, as shown in Figure 6.

4.2 Rate of Change Icon

The rate of change icon detects rapid changes in temperature and humidity. If the arrow points

upward, the temperature is increasing at a rate of +2°F per 30 minutes (or greater), or humidity is

increasing at a rate of +5% per 30 minutes (or greater). If the arrow points downward, the temperature

is decreasing at a rate of -2°F per 30 minutes (or less), or humidity is decreasing at a rate of -5% per

30 minutes (or less).

5Console Operation

Note: The console has three buttons for easy operation: MIN/MAX/- button, CLEAR/ADJUST

button, and CHANNEL/+ button.

5.1 Min/Max Mode

The Min/Max mode displays the minimum and maximum temperature and humidity (since reset of the

unit) for the indoor, remote channel 1 through 8 sensors.

Prior to entering the MIN/MAX mode, press the CHANNEL/+ button to select the temperature and

humidity values you wish to view.

1. Display Maximum. Press the MIN/MAX button once to display the maximum. The MAX

icon will be displayed.

2. Clear Maximum. To reset the maximum values to the current values, press and hold the

CLEAR button for 3 seconds.

3. Display Minimum. Press the MIN/MAX button again to display the minimum. The MIN

icon will be displayed.

4. Clear Minimum. To reset the minimum values to the current values, press and hold the

CLEAR button for 3 seconds.

To return to normal mode, press the MIN/MAX button again.

5.2 Indoor/Outdoor Channel Selection

Press the CHANNEL/+ button to switch the display between the indoor temperature and humidity ,

remote sensors 1 through 8, and scroll mode . In scroll mode, all of the indoor and detected

outdoor sensors will be displayed in five second intervals.

5.3 Temperature Units of Measure

The default temperature units of measure are degrees Fahrenheit. To toggle between degrees Celsius

and degrees Fahrenheit, press and hold the MIN/MAX button for 3 seconds.

5.4 Sensor Search Mode

If any of the sensor communication is lost, dashes (--.-) will be displayed on the screen. To reacquire

the signal:

1. If a specific channel is lost, press the CHANNEL/+ button to display this channel, then Press

and hold the CHANNEL/+ button for 3 seconds, and the remote search icon will be

constantly displayed for up to 10 minutes. Once the signal is reacquired, the remote search

icon will turn off, and the current values will be displayed.

2. If new sensors are added, subtracted, or multiple sensor channels are lost, press the

CHANNEL/+ button until the indoor channel is displayed. Press and hold the

CHANNEL/+ button for 3 seconds, and the remote search icon will be constantly

displayed for up to 10 minutes. Once the signal is reacquired, the remote search icon

will turn off, and the current values will be displayed.

5.5 Best Practices for Wireless Communication

Note: To insure proper communication, mount the remote sensor on a vertical surface, such as a

wall. Do not lie the sensor flat.

Wireless communication is susceptible to interference, distance, walls and metal barriers. We

recommend the following best practices for trouble free wireless communication.

1. Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI). Keep the console several feet away from computer

monitors and TVs.

2. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). If you have other 433 MHz devices and

communication is intermittent, try turning off these other devices for troubleshooting

purposes. You may need to relocate the transmitters or receivers to avoid intermittent

communication.

3. Line of Sight Rating. This device is rated at 300 feet line of sight (no interference, barriers or

walls) but typically you will get 100 feet maximum under most real-world installations,

which include passing through barriers or walls.

4. Metal Barriers. Radio frequency will not pass through metal barriers such as aluminum

siding. If you have metal siding, align the remote and console through a window to get a clear

line of sight.

The following is a table of reception loss vs. the transmission medium. Each “wall” or obstruction

decreases the transmission range by the factor shown below.

Medium

Plastics

10-15%

Wood

10-40%

Brick

10-40%

5.6 Adjustment or Calibration

Note: The calibrated value can only be adjusted on the console. The remote sensor(s) always

displays the un-calibrated or measured value.

Note: The measured humidity range is between 10 and 99%. Humidity cannot be accurately

measured outside of this range. Thus, the humidity cannot be calibrated below 10% or above 99%.

The purpose of calibration is to fine tune or correct for any sensor error associated with the devices

margin of error. The measurement can be adjusted from the console to calibrate to a known source.

Calibration is only useful if you have a known calibrated source you can compare it against, and is

optional. This section discusses practices, procedures and sources for sensor calibration to reduce

manufacturing and degradation errors. Do not compare your readings obtained from sources such as

the internet, radio, television or newspapers. They are in a different location and typically update once

per hour.

The purpose of your weather station is to measure conditions of your surroundings, which vary

significantly from location to location.

5.6.1 Humidity Calibration

Prior to entering the calibration mode, press the CHANNEL/+ button to select the humidity sensor

you wish to adjust.

To enter the humidity calibration mode, press and hold the ADJUST and MIN/MAX buttons at the

same time for 5 seconds and the humidity value will begin flashing. Press the CHANNEL/+ button to

increase the humidity and the MIN/MAX/- button to decrease the humidity reading in 1% increments.

To rapidly increase (or decrease) the humidity reading, press and hold the CHANNEL/+ or

MIN/MAX/- button.

To return the humidity to the actual or uncalibrated measurement, press the ADJUST button.

Once the displayed humidity equals the calibrated source, press and hold the ADJUST button for

three seconds, or wait 15 seconds for timeout, and the humidity value will stop flashing.

Discussion: Humidity is a difficult parameter to measure electronically and drifts over time due to

contamination. In addition, location has an adverse affect on humidity readings (installation over dirt

vs. lawn for example).

Official stations recalibrate or replace humidity sensors on a yearly basis. Due to manufacturing

tolerances, the humidity is accurate to ± 5%. To improve this accuracy, the indoor and outdoor

humidity can be calibrated using an accurate source, such as a sling psychrometer:

http://www.ambientweather.com/mafaredspslp.html

or one step humidpak calibration kits (reference Section 9). You can also use common table salt,

water and a plastic bag: http://ambientweather.wikispaces.com/ws07

5.6.2 Temperature Calibration

Prior to entering the calibration mode, press the CHANNEL/+ button to select the temperature you

wish to adjust.

To enter the temperature calibration mode, press and hold the ADJUST button for 5 seconds and the

temperature value will begin flashing. Press the CHANNEL/+ button to increase the temperature and

the MIN/MAX/- button to decrease the temperature reading in 0.1° increments. To rapidly increase

(or decrease) the temperature reading, press and hold the CHANNEL/+ or MIN/MAX/- button.

To return the temperature to the actual or uncalibrated measurement, press the ADJUST button.

Once the displayed temperature equals the calibrated source, press and hold the ADJUST button for

three seconds, or wait 15 seconds for timeout, and the temperature value will stop flashing.

Discussion:Temperature errors can occur when a sensor is placed too close to a heat source (such

as a building structure, the ground or trees).

To calibrate temperature, we recommend a mercury or red spirit (fluid) thermometer. Bi-metal (dial)

and other digital thermometers are not a good source and have their own margin of error. Using a local

weather station in your area is also a poor source due to changes in location, timing (airport weather

stations are only updated once per hour) and possible calibration errors (many official weather stations

are not properly installed and calibrated).

Place the sensor in a shaded, controlled environment next to the fluid thermometer, and allow the

sensor to stabilize for 48 hours. Compare this temperature to the fluid thermometer and adjust the

console to match the fluid thermometer.
