Outdoor Temperature Sensor
Compatible Outdoor sensors
 The TX141TH-Bv2 outdoor sensor comes packaged with this weather station.
 The TX141TH-A, TX141TH-Av2 and TX141TH-B (433MHz) outdoor sensors are
compatible with this weather station.
Quick Connect
Explanation: Use the quick connect for a weather station and outdoor sensor that have
been working but lost connection due to interference or low batteries. This is not the same
as a thorough factory reset.
1. Bring the outdoor sensor and weather station together inside, and place the units 5-10
feet apart with nothing between them.
2. Hold the TEMP button for 5 seconds. The outdoor temperature area will flash.
3. Remove battery cover from the outdoor sensor and press and release the TX button to
send the signal.
4. Wait for 2 minutes for the outdoor temperature to appear on the weather station.
 Factory Restart: If the above procedure does not work, please try the factory reset.
Outdoor Temperature Signal Strength
Explanation: The weather station will search for the outdoor temperature/humidity sensor
for 3 minutes after installing batteries or after holding the TEMP button for 3 seconds.
 Hold the TEMP button for 3 seconds to search for the outdoor temperature/humidity
sensor.
 The strength signal icon will animate until the sensor signal is received, or for 3 minutes
if no signal available.
Dashes show for Outdoor Temperature
Explanation: Dashes mean the connection is lost between the weather station and the
outdoor sensor.
 Batteries
often resolve the connection.
 Distance/Resistance can cause loss of connection between the outdoor sensor and the
weather station.
 Turn the weather station 90 degrees towards the outdoor sensor to provide better
reception. This allows more antenna surface to face the outdoor sensor signal.
 Try the quick connect or factory restart
.
Power Requirements
 2-AA batteries power the outdoor sensor.
 We recommend Alkaline batteries for the outdoor sensor.
 You may choose to use Lithium batteries for temperatures below -20°F/-28.8°C.
Inaccurate Outdoor Temperature Reading
Explanation: High outdoor temperature readings are generally a location issue. Low
outdoor temperature readings are power related or a sensors going bad.
 The outdoor sensor reads the environment where it is mounted. When mounted inside
the home, it will read inside temperature/humidity.
 When the outdoor sensor reads high during the day, but not at night, it is a positioning
problem.
 Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames or reflected heat.
Side-by-side test: Place the outdoor sensor right next to the weather station for 2 hours.
