. Next, slide the battery switch to the SOLAR (UP) position.
. 5. Continue to section labeled "ACTIVATE SOLAR-POWERED OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER" If the solar panel is facing a permanent strong light source (eg., on top of a refrigerator with halogen lamp), please switch the clock to alkaline battery mode to avoid over-charging re-chargeable alkaline battery Model TX62U-IT Solar-powered Transmitter (Sensor): Transmits outdoor temperature to indoor receiver using 915 MHz signals 200 FT. wireless transmission range (open air).
ACTIVATE SOLAR-POWERED OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER 1. Press the RESET key on the Sensor to activate the solar-powered transmitter and link it to the Temperature station. NOTE: The solar panel needs light from a 60W light bulb or brighter during the activation process. Do not cover solar panel with hands or other objects. TX62U-IT transmitter RESET key: RESET key NOTE: Do not use sharp objects to press the RESET key.
It checks the brightness level of the surrounding environment every 5 seconds. It measures / transmits every 16 seconds if it detects a dark environment or if the battery voltage drops below 2.5V. (2) IDLE MODE: If the battery voltage drops below 2.4V, it commences IDLE MODE; the LCD turns off and it does not measure / transmit weather data. It checks the brightness level of the surrounding environment every 5 seconds. If battery voltage rises back to 2.5V or above, it returns to NORMAL MODE.
60W light bulb or similar condition) and press the RESET key to return to NORMAL MODE (battery voltage is higher than 2.5V). MIN/MAX: Press and release the MIN/MAX button to view: Outdoor Temperature minimum and maximum. Indoor temperature minimum and maximum. Outdoor minimum Temperate and Indoor humidity. RESET MIN/MAX: Press and hold the MIN/MAX button for 5 seconds to reset the indoor and outdoor minimum and maximum temperatures to current temperatures.
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR: • RX Low battery indicator is displayed on the LCD when the receiver battery voltage is low. • TX Low battery indicator is displayed on the LCD when the transmitter battery voltage is low. SOLAR-POWERED OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER (915MHZ RECEPTION) The Temperature Station receives outdoor data every 48 seconds. If it does not receive the temperature data within 2 minutes after set-up (or the display shows “- - -”), then please check the following points: 1.
Temperature Station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see “TO INSTALL / REPLACE BATTERY IN THE SOLAR STATION” and “INITIAL SETUP” above) otherwise transmission problems may occur. The maximum transmission range is 200 feet (60.96 m) from the outdoor transmitter to the Solar Station (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference levels.
solar panel) or 2 x AA standard alkaline batteries (non-rechargeable; not included). The Temperature Station comes with special solarrechargeable batteries that should provide many years of service. If the batteries lose their ability to hold a charge, please dispose of them responsibly. Do NOT attempt to recharge the included solarrechargeable batteries outside of the WS6020U.Use standard alkaline batteries or contact customer support for more information.
2. 3. 4. Slide the battery switch to the DOWN to select the alkaline battery. Insert new, 2 x standard alkaline batteries into the compartment, observing the correct polarity (see marking inside battery compartment or on the case). Replace battery cover NOTE: For best performance, standard alkaline batteries should be replaced at least once every 2 years to maintain the best running accuracy. Ensure that the batteries used are new and the correct size.
3. the batteries back into the Temperature station (slide the switch to the up if using the included solar-rechargeable batteries), press the RESET key on the Sensor and follow the set up process again. The distance between the Temperature Station and the Sensor should not be more than 200 feet (60.96m) to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission. NOTE: When changing the batteries: 1. Be careful that they do not spring free from the contacts. 2. Press any button 20 times with the batteries removed. 3.
Ensure that the Temperature Station continuously receives the 915MHz signal from the Sensor before mounting it in the desired location. The Temperature Station should be placed in a bright environment for the solar cell to collect enough light to recharge the included solar-rechargeable batteries. WALL MOUNTING 1. Install a mounting screw (not included) into a wall—leaving approximately 3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended from the wall. 2.
light to recharge the internal power cell. It is best mounted on an East wall to receive cool morning sun to charge. Under an overhang will provide protection from the overhead sun, which can cause temperature inaccuracies. The Sensor can be placed onto any flat surface or wall mounted using the bracket which doubles as a stand or wall mount base. WALL MOUNTING Secure the bracket onto desired wall using screws and plastic anchors. Clip the solar Sensor onto the bracket.
