However, the minimum outdoor temperature will continue to be displayed. Press and hold the OUTDOOR button for 1 second.
3. displayed in the OUTDOOR LCD, and the time it was recorded is displayed in the TIME LCD. After 15 seconds the “OUTDOOR MAX,” and “TIME” will stop flashing, and the maximum outdoor temperature will continue to be displayed. To return to current temperature, press and hold the OUTDOOR button for 1 second. V. RESETTING THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES A. INDOOR 1.
2. temperatures are reset release the buttons. To return to the current indoor temperature, press and hold the INDOOR button two times, holding for 1 second each. B. OUTDOOR 1. 2. To reset both the minimum and maximum temperatures—press and continue to hold the OUTDOOR button, while you press and hold the RESET button. When the temperatures are reset release the buttons. To return to the current outdoor temperature, press and hold the OUTDOOR button two times, holding for 1 second each.
VI. READING THE TEMPERATURE TREND A. The temperature trend indicator is displayed in the OUTDOOR LCD. 1. Ï Indicates that the temperature is rising. 2. Ð Indicates that the temperature is dropping. 3. The absence of an arrow indicates that the temperature is stable. VII. MOUNTING A. THE REMOTE CONTROL SENDER Note: To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting where direct sunlight can reach the Remote Control Sender. We recommend that you mount the Sender on a North-facing wall.
walls, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range. Place both units in their desired location before permanently mounting the Remote Control Sender. There should be a change of temperature in the OUTDOOR LCD within 6 minutes. The Remote Control Sender can be mounted in two ways: • with the use of screws or, • using the adhesive tape. 1. MOUNTING WITH THE SCREWS a) Remove the mounting bracket from the Remote Control Sender (figure 2). b) Place mounting bracket over desired location.
c) Where marked, drill holes into mounting surface using an appropriate size drill bit. d) Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. Ensure that the screws are flush with the bracket. 2. MOUNTING WITH ADHESIVE TAPE a) With a nonabrasive solution, clean and dry the back of the mounting bracket and the mounting surface to ensure a secure hold. The mounting surface should be smooth and flat. b) Remove the protective strip from one side of the tape.
c) Remove the protective strip from the other side of the tape. Position the Remote Control Sender in the desired location, ensuring that the Indoor Temperature Station can receive the signal. B. THE INDOOR TEMPERATURE STATION Before mounting the Indoor Note: Temperature Station make sure that it is able to receive signals from the Remote Control Sender.
1. USING THE TABLE-STAND a) 2. The Indoor Temperature Station comes with the table stand already mounted. If you wish to use the tablestand all that is required is to place the Indoor Temperature Station in an appropriate location.
a) Remove the table stand. To do this, pull down on the stand from the rear and rotate forward. b) Fix a screw (not included) into the desired wall, leaving approximately 3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended from the wall. c) Place the Indoor Temperature Station onto the screw using the hanging hole on the backside. Gently pull the Station down to lock the screw into place. VIII.
offers the same plus a 10’ probe to insert in a pool, spa, soil, etc.). Assign a number to each Remote Control Sender (i.e. #1 will be for outdoors, #2 will be for the basement, etc.). This will help you determine which temperature, from which Sender, you are reading on the Indoor Temperature Station. Note: When setting up multiple units it is important to insert batteries first into all the Remote Control Senders, and in numeric sequence. Second install batteries into the Indoor Temperature Station.
A. SETUP OF MULTIPLE UNITS 1. 2. 3. #1 It is necessary to remove the batteries from all existing units in operation. Remove the battery covers to all Remote Control Senders. See section I.A.2. Place all Remote Control Senders in sequential order. #2 4. #3 In sequential order, install batteries. (Refer to instructions in I.A.3 through I.A.5).
5. 6. Install batteries into the Indoor Temperature Station. (Refer to instructions in I.B.). Follow directions in section II.A to set the time, section III.A to select Fahrenheit or Celsius, and section VII. A to mount. B. VIEWING MULTIPLE REMOTE CONTROL SENDERS ON THE INDOOR TEMPERATURE STATION 1. 2. To view the temperature of a different Remote Control Sender, press the RESET button.
3. Repeat step 1 to view the 3rd, 4th, and 5th (depending on how many are set up) temperatures sent by the Remote Control Senders. Continue to press RESET until you return to the first Remote Control Sender. C. VIEWING THE FEATURES OF MULTIPLE REMOTE CONTROL SENDERS 1. 2. Press the RESET button to select the Remote Control Sender you wish to view. To view the OUTDOOR MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES, follow directions in section IV.B.
