2. To view the Minimum/Maximum temperature: first select
which remote temperature sensor to read data from (indicated
by the “boxed” number), then press the OUT button. Pressing
this button once will display the minimum temperature, and
the date and time the data was recorded. Pressing this button
a second time (while “MIN” is still displayed, otherwise press
the button twice) will display the same data for the maximum
recordings.
3. To reset the Minimum/Maximum readings, it is necessary to
select which remote temperature sensor you wish to reset.
Press and hold the OUT button for 5 seconds, the records for
the selected remote temperature sensor unit will be reset.
MOUNTING
Note: Before permanently mounting ensure that the indoor weather station
is able to receive WWVB signals from the desired location. Also, extreme
and sudden changes in temperature will decrease the accuracy of the indoor
weather station, and changes in elevation will result with inaccurate
weather forecasting for the next 12 to 24 hours. These changes will require
a 12 to 24 hour wait before obtaining reliable data. To achieve a true
temperature reading, avoid mounting where direct sunlight can reach the
remote temperature sensor or indoor weather station. While the remote
temperature sensor is weather proof, avoid submersion in water or snow.
We recommend that you mount the remote temperature sensor on an
outside North-facing wall. The sending range is
330ft —obstacles such as
walls, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range. Place both
units in their desired location, and wait approximately 15 minutes before
permanently mounting to ensure that there is proper reception. The indoor
weather station should display a temperature in the OUTDOOR LCD
within 4 minutes of setting up.
I. THE REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The remote temperature sensor can be mounted in two ways:
• with the use of screws, or
• using the adhesive tape.
A. MOUNTING WITH SCREWS
1) Remove the mounting bracket from the remote
temperature sensor.
