WIRELESS SENSOR

1. Transmission status LED (flashes when sensor is transmitting)
2. Wall mount
3. CHANNEL slide switch (assign sensor to Channel 1 ~ 8)
4. RESET key (short press to reset the sensor)
5. Battery compartment (2 x AA batteries)

OPERATION

POWERING THE WIRELESS SENSOR

1. Remove the battery door of the sensor
2. Insert 2 ‘AA’ batteries, observing correct polarity
3. Close the battery door

Notes: Once a sensor is assigned a channel using the channel slide switch, you can only re-assign a channel by removing the batteries or resetting the unit. Avoid placing the sensor in direct sunlight or inclement weather.

POWERING THE MAIN UNIT

1. Remove the battery door of the main unit
2. Install 4 AA batteries observing correct polarity; then use a paper clip to press the RESET key
3. Close the battery door
4. All LCD segments will switch on

Note: To avoid a pairing failure, power up the sensor first, and then press the RESET key on the main unit only.

INDOOR TEMPERATURE/RELATIVE HUMIDITY

1. Short press OUT until ‘IN’ is displayed. The unit is now displaying indoor temperature °C / °F and Relative Humidity %.

2. Short press °C / °F to switch between °C and °F

3. When the temperature is <-40°F/°C or > 158°F (70°C), Lo or HI will be displayed respectively. The humidity display will show dashes.

4. When the humidity is < 1% or > 99%, Lo or HI will be displayed.

COMFORT INDICATION

The comfort indication feature is an icon-based system showing comfort level based on indoor air temperature and humidity ranging from Excessive Cold (left icon below) to Comfortable (center icon) to Excessive Heat (right icon).

Note: Comfort indication can vary even when measuring the same temperature because of the strong effect humidity has on comfort. There is no comfort indication when temperature is < 0°C (32°F) or > 60°C (140°F).

TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY TRENDING ARROWS

The temperature and humidity trend indicator illustrates the temperature and humidity change over time. Arrows indicate rising (left icon shown below), steady (center icon), or falling temperatures (right icon).

MAX/MIN RECORDING

View the MAX/MIN temperature and humidity readings since the last reset.

1. In normal mode, short press MIN-MAX to show the current maximum temperature and humidity values (diagram on left below); press again to show the minimum values (diagram in center); press again to exit the mode (the unit automatically exits the mode after approximately 5 seconds).
2. Perform a manual reset (clear MAX/MIN readings) by long pressing MIN-MAX when the unit is displaying the MAX/MIN records (diagram on right).

RECEIVING WIRELESS SENSOR SIGNALS

1. In normal mode, short press SENSOR to start receiving data.

2. The signal icon will flash (diagram on left below) until reception occurs.
   After 5 minutes, the icon will disappear if reception fails (center diagram).

3. Receiving a wireless signal after a manual reset or when SENSOR is pressed will cause dashes to display in the readings area when waiting for signal.

4. For successful reception, the signal icon will appear as shown in the diagram below on right. The selected channel number appears in the box below the icon.

5. In normal mode, short press OUT to switch the display between INDOOR and CHANNEL 1~8.

6. In normal mode, long press OUT to toggle auto-cycle mode ON/OFF. Auto- cycle alternately displays the channels at 4-second intervals (the icon will show when auto-cycle is active). In auto-cycle mode only the actively communicating channels will appear. Short press OUT to exit mode.

7. To check the signals from multiple wireless sensors, short press OUT repeatedly in normal mode.

8. If the signal for Channel 1~8 is lost and does not recover within 1 hour, the signal icon will disappear. The temperature and humidity will display “Er” for the corresponding channel.

9. If the signal does not recover within 48 hours, replace the batteries of the “Er” channel’s sensor and then press SENSOR on the main unit to pair with the sensors for each “Er” channel again.

Note To initiate reception after installing new batteries in the wireless sensor, press SENSOR ; otherwise, the main unit will fail to receive the sensor’s signal.

LOW TEMPERATURE ICON
When the outdoor temperature is 37.4°F (3.0°C) or below, the low temperature icon ‘LO’ flashes on the display.

LOW BATTERY CONDITION
If the main unit or the sensor batteries are low, the low battery icon will display. The icon will only appear when the corresponding channel is displayed.
For example, if the CHANNEL 1 sensor battery is low, the icon will show only when CHANNEL 1 is displayed. Replace the batteries by following instructions in sections Powering the Wireless Sensor and Powering the Main Unit.

TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY CALIBRATION

1. In normal mode, long press the CAL key to enter the calibration mode. The current outdoor channel or “IN” (indoor) icon will flash. Short press OUT to choose Indoor (IN) or a Channel number 1~8.

2. Short press M (MODE) to step through the temperature calibration, humidity calibration, and channel selection modes.

3. In temperature calibration mode, use the [ + ] [ – ] keys to adjust the value in 0.1° steps. Long press to scroll quickly.

4. In humidity calibration mode, use the [ + ] [ – ] keys to adjust the displayed value in 1% steps. Long press to scroll quickly.

5. Long press M at the temperature or humidity calibration screens to revert to the previous calibration value for the selected channel.

6. To exit calibration mode, long press CAL or wait 60 seconds for the unit to exit and return to the normal mode automatically.

7. If the reading for the selected channel is showing either dashes (flashing) or the HI/Lo indicators, adjustment will not be possible; return unit for service.

Note: Comfort indication is a calculation based on calibrated temperature and humidity measurements.
