9 Before starting operation

Avoid connection faults! In order to avoid connection problems between the devices, the following points must be observed during commissioning.

1. Place the base unit (receiver) and sensor (transmitter) as close together as possible.
2. Connect the power supply to the base unit and wait until the indoor temperature is displayed.
3. Establish power supply for the sensor.
4. Set up/operate the base unit and sensor within the effective transmission range.
5. Make sure that the base unit and the radio sensor are set to the same channel.
   When changing the batteries, always remove the batteries in both the base unit and the sensor and reinsert them in the correct order so that the radio connection can be re-established. If one of the two
   devices is operated via a mains power connection, the power connection for this device must also be disconnected briefly when changing the battery. If, for example, only the batteries in the sensor are replaced, the signal cannot be received or can no longer be received correctly.
   Note that the actual range depends on the building materials used in the building and the position of the base unit and outdoor sensor. External influences (various radio transmitters and other sources of interference) can greatly reduce the possible range. In such cases, we recommend finding other locations for both the base unit and the outdoor sensor. Sometimes a shift of just a few centimetres is enough!

10 Setting up power supply

Basestation

1. Remove the battery compartment cover.

2. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment. Ensure that the battery polarity (+/-) is correct.

3.  Replace the battery compartment cover.

4. Wait until the indoor temperature is displayed on the base station.

11 Attaching rubber linings

Attach the supplied self-adhesive rubber pads to the clamps as shown to ensure a firmer fitting of the mounting rod.

12 Remote sensor installation and mounting

Depending on the desired location, the remote sensor can be put on the table or mounted on the wall.
NOTICE! During the installation make sure that the device is minimum 1.5 meters off the ground.
The location should be as free as possible from obstacles to ensure an accurate measurement. The remote sensor should be installed / mounted horizontally and within 100 m of the base unit.

Installation on a vertical tube (maximal tube diameter: 26 mm)

1. Place the back of the mounting base of the remote sensor on the tube and press the mounting clamp against the tube from the other side.
