2.2 Probe Thermometer Sensor Set Up

Note: Use only high quality rechargeable batteries. We recommend fresh alkaline batteries for

temperature ranges between -4 °F and 140 °F and fresh lithium batteries for temperature ranges

between -40 °F and 140 °F.

1. Remove the battery door on the back of the sensor by removing the set screw, as shown in

Figure 1 .

Figure 1

2. BEFORE inserting the batteries, locate the dip switches on the inside cover of the lid of the

transmitter.

Figure 2 displays all four switches in the OFF position (factory default setting).

Figure 2

3. Channel Number: The sensor supports up to eight transmitters. To set each channel number

(the default is Channel 1), change Dip Switches 1, 2 and 3, as referenced in Table 1.

4. Temperature Units of Measure: To change the transmitter display units of measure (°F

vs. °C), change Dip Switch 4, as referenced in Table 1.

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.

3Remote Sensor Installation

The remote probe sensors have many applications, including measuring inside/outside air temperature,

water temperature, soil or ground temperature and refrigerator / freezer temperatures.

The remote sensor can be mounted to a wall or horizontal surface to measure any temperature medium,

including air, water and soil.

Use a screw or nail (not included) to affix the remote sensor to the wall, as shown in Figure 4.

Note: If measuring outside air temperature, we recommend mounting the sensor in the shade, on

the north side of the house or structure to avoid radiant heat transfer.

Figure 4

4 Display Console Set Up

Move the remote sensor(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 remote sensor, make sure they are all powered up and transmitting on

different channels. Remove the battery door on the back of the display, as shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5

Fold out the desk stand, remove the battery cover, and insert three AAA (alkaline or lithium, avoid

rechargeable unless fully charged and high quality) batteries in the back of the display console. All

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

1. Replace the battery door, and place the console in the upright position with the desk stand

folded out.

The console will instantly display time and indoor temperature as designated. The remote

temperature 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 constantly on, otherwise the remote sensor search mode will be terminated.

When the remote sensor temperature 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.

4.2 Sensor Operation Verification

Verify the indoor and probe temperature match closely 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.

5 Display Features

5.1 Rate of Change Icon

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

upward, the temperature is increasing at a rate of +2°F 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).

5.2 Console Operation

Note: The console has three buttons for easy operation: SET button, MIN/MAX button, and

CH/+ button.

. In scroll mode, all of detected outdoor sensors will be displayed in five second intervals.

5.5 Sensor Search Mode

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

reacquire the signal:

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

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

for up to 3 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 and hold the

CH/+ button for 5seconds (on any channel), 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.

5.6 Best Practices for Wireless Communication

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.
