GENERAL INFORMATION
BATTERIES: WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BATTERIES?
• Good fresh batteries are important for best performance in your sensors and as backup in your station.
• Batteries with an expiration date of 2025, were manufactured in 2015.
• We recommend batteries with an expiration date no more than 6 years in advance of the current year for best
performance.
• A minimum voltage of 1.48 v per battery is required for best performance.
• Lithium batteries may be used in outdoor sensors. Alkaline batteries for the station.
BATTERIES: WHAT DO THE BATTERY ICONS MEAN?
• Low battery shows next to outdoor temperature, replace batteries in sensor.
• Low battery shows next to indoor temperature, replace batteries in station.
SENSOR AND STATION
Your 308-1415BWv2 comes with:
TX141-Bv3 Temperature sensor 433MHz RF
Transmission Range 330 feet (100 meters) open air.
WHAT ARE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS?
TX141-Bv3: 2-AA batteries
308-1415BWv2: 2-AA batteries
SETUP: HOW DO I SETUP MY STATION?
1.
Insert 2-AA batteries into your Outdoor Sensor.
2.
Insert 2-AA batteries into your Station.
3.
Adjust time and date settings on your station.
4.
Once the Outdoor Sensor is reading to your station, place it outside in a shaded location.
.MOUNTING: WHERE DO I POSITION MY SENSOR & STATION?
• Watch sensor mounting video: http://bit.ly/TH_SensorMounting
• Place your Temperature sensor at least 6 feet off the ground.
• For accurate temperature readings your sensor needs to be shaded from the sun and in a well ventilated area.
Trapped moisture will cause inaccurate readings.
• Mount your sensor vertically to allow moisture to drain out the bottom.
