TS13C-M SENSOR IS COMPATIBLE WITH ALL MEADE INSTRUMENTS WIRELESS WEATHER STATIONS BEFORE YOU BEGIN • The remote sensor can be placed indoors or outdoors. • We recommend using alkaline batteries for the remote sensor when temperatures are above 32°F (0°C). We recommend using AA lithium batteries when temperatures are below 32°F (0°C). • Avoid using rechargeable batteries. (Rechargeable batteries cannot maintain correct power requirements).
BATTERY INSTALLATION NOTE: Install the batteries; select the channel and temperature in °C or °F before mounting the remote sensor. • Remove the screws from the battery compartment with a small Phillips screwdriver. • Set the channel (if channel switch is available in your model). The switch is located in the battery compartment. Channel 1 is typically selected if only one remote sensor is being used.
If there is no reception, please perform the following steps: • Bring the main unit and remote sensor close together. • Remove four (4) small screws from the back of the remote sensor with small Phillips screwdriver, and open the battery compartment. • Remove the batteries from the battery compartment and reinstall them in the same manner. Remote sensor LED indicator will flash showing transmission of the signal. • Remove the batteries from the main unit and reinstall them in the same manner.
SPECIFICATIONS Remote Temperature Proposed operating range with alkaline batteries: -4°F to 122°F(-20°C to 50°C) Proposed operating range with lithium batteries: -40°F to 122°F(-40°C to 50°C) Temperature resolution: 0.1°C/0.
