BATTERY INSTALLATION
NOTE: When the temperature falls below freezing point
32°F (0°C), battery voltage will drop which may result in
reduced the transmission range. For optimum in cold
conditions, we recommend using lithium batteries.
NOTE: Install the batteries and select the channel before
mounting the remote sensor.
• Remove the screws from the battery compartment with a small
Phillips screwdriver (not included).
• Set the channel 1 through 3. The switch is located in the battery
compartment. Channel 1 is typically selected if only one
remote sensor is being used.
• Install 2 “AA” size alkaline batteries (not included) matching
polarity as shown in the battery compartment.
• Replace the battery compartment door and secure the screws.
• Secure the remote sensor in the desired location.
MOUNTING
• The remote sensor can be mounted either horizontally or
vertically.
• Use a screw, rather than a nail, to securely mount the sensor.
• When mounting the main unit on a vertical surface, fold the
built-in table stand back into the unit, allowing the main unit to
lie flush with the surface.
PLACEMENT
• The remote sensor should be placed under eaves or a similar
location with free air circulation sheltered from direct sunlight
and extreme weather.
• Ideally, place the remote sensor over soil, rather than asphalt
which would cause false readings.
• Avoid placing the remote sensor near sources of heat, such as
chimneys and heating elements
• Avoid areas that collect heat from the sun and radiate heat,
such as metal, brick or concrete structures, paving, and patios
• The international standard for the valid air temperature
measurements is 4 feet (1.25meters) above the ground
OPERATION
Immediately after batteries are installed, the remote sensor will
start transmitting a temperature data to the main unit.
