ThermoPro TP260B Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Humidity and Temperature Monitor Instruction Manual

ThermoPro TP260B Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Humidity and Temperature Monitor

Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the wireless indoor/outdoor humidity and temperature monitor. You will now be able to know the outdoor/indoor temperature and humidity while sitting inside.

Components

1. One base station unit (Receiver)
2. One remote sensor (Transmitter)

Although the remote sensor is designed to be rain-proof, the remote sensor must be always placed upwards so that rain won’t get inside the sensor through the vent holes on the bottom of the senor which functions to let the remote sensor detect the environmental temperature and humidity more precisely and quickly.

Indoor Base Station (Receiver) Features

1. LCD display: Displays the current outdoor humidity/temperature and indoor humidity/temperature
2. Battery Compartment: Holds 2 AAA batteries to power the unit
3. Tabletop and wall-mounted design
4. Indoor Temperature range: -4 °F ~ 158°F (-20 °C ~ 70 °C).
5. Humidity range: 10% ~ 99%.
6. Temperature display unit: °C and °F selectable
7. Temperature Resolution: 0.1 °C/°F
8. Humidity Resolution:1%
9. Low battery indication
10. Four touch buttons
11. Backlight

Buttons
CHANNEL Selector (1,2,3): Slide to set Channel 1,2 or 3.
RESET: Press once to reset the remote sensor.
TX: Press to send temperature/humidity data to the receiver manually.

Low Battery Warning
If the battery power (base station or remote sensor) is low, there will be low battery icon showing on the base station display.
If the low battery icon for base station shows up, please replace the batteries with new one.
If the low battery icon for remote sensor shows up, please charge the remote sensor as soon as you can.

Synchronize Remote Sensors with The Base Station
Place the remote sensor near the base station.

Once the batteries are installed in the base station, the RF indicator (located on the upper left of the outdoor temperature display section) will flash for 3 minutes, indicating that the base station is in synchronization mode: it is waiting for remote sensors to be registered.

Set the CHANNEL selector (on the back of the remote sensor unit) to position 1 or 2 or 3. The unit is pre-set Channel 1 and you can always leave it unchanged unless you have purchased more than 1 remote sensor.

Press and hold ON/OFF button on the back of the remote sensor for 2 seconds to turn on the remote sensor. Then wait for a moment until the temperature of the remote sensor display on the base station that indicates the synchronization is complete.
If the synchronization is not successful after 3 minutes when the batteries are installed in the base station and the RF indicator no longer flashes,press and hold the CHANNEL button on the back of the base station for 3-4 seconds until the RF indicator flash again to set it back in synchronization mode; If you have additional remote sensors, repeat the above steps to synchronize the additional remote sensors (up to 3 remote sensors can be registered with one base station). Please note the additional sensors should be set to a different channel.

If you have registered more than one sensor, press the CHANNEL button on the base station to select the remote channel you want displayed permanently on the base station. Press CHANNEL button until you observe a circular arrow on the base station LCD display under the channel number, then the unit will auto-scroll, changing from channel to channel every 5 seconds.

Place the Base Station and Remote Sensor

1. The indoor base station (receiver) should always be placed in a well ventilated indoor area and located away from vents, heating or cooling elements, direct sunlight, windows, doors, or any other openings.
2. The remote sensor (transmitter) can be placed on a flat surface indoor or outdoor. Make sure the sensor is within the transmission distance from the base station and with minimal obstructions.
3. Although the remote sensor is designed to be rain-proof, the remote sensor must be always placed upwards so that rain won’t get inside the sensor through the vent holes on the bottom of the senor which functions to let the remote sensor detect the environmental temperature and humidity more precisely and quickly.
4. The base station and remote sensor can both be wall mounted.

Maximum & Minimum Recorded Temperature & Humidity

1. Press MAX/MIN/Clear button once to display the highest indoor and outdoor temperatures/humidity recorded since last reset. MAX is shown on the display.
2. Press MAX/MIN/Clear button again to display the lowest indoor and outdoor temperatures/humidity recorded since last reset. MIN is shown on the display.
3. To clear and reset the max/min records, when either the MAX or MIN record is shown on the LCD display, press and hold MAX/MIN/Clear for 3 seconds.
4. When either the MAX or MIN record is shown on the LCD display, press ALL-TIME/24 button once to set the data record time interval between ALL TIME or 24 hours. Note: Both ALL TIME and 24 hours represent the time since you last time manually cleared the history data or battery installation.
