Control Company 6424 RADIO SIGNAL REFRIGERATOR THERMOMETER - Manual (Page 2)

®
PLACEMENT/MOUNTING OPTIONS
Also included:
Magnet - A magnet is supplied for the remote module.
Peel the protective paper off the adhesive tape on
the magnet. Press the magnet onto the back of the
remote and mount on any metal surface.
Hook & Loop - Self adhesive hook and loop
mounting tape is supplied with the remote. Peel
off the protective backing. Adhere one piece to the
remote and the other to any clean,  at surface.
TRANSMISSION COLLISION/INTERFERENCE
Signals from other radio devices may interfere with
those of this product and cause temporary reception
failure. This is normal and does not affect the general
performance of the product. The transmission and
reception of temperature readings will resume once
the interference recedes.
All radio signals are inherently affected by
interference or blockage. Performance is best when
there is little or no interference or blockage. Some of
the causes of interference and blockage are metal,
re ective surfaces, motors, elevators,  orescent
lights with electric ballasts, sparking environments,
emergency radios, power lines, portable/mobile
radio transmitters and walkie-talkies. On occasion,
momentary interference with the remote transmitter
may cause an erroneous minimum or maximum
readings to be captured by the receiver.
If two or more remotes in the same area are set to the
same channel then any or all receivers will probably
receive scrambled signals and report erroneous
readings.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the receiver is not obtaining a signal from the
remote(s), or if without obvious reasons, the display
for a particular channel goes blank, press the
CHANNEL and MEM button simultaneously to force
an immediate remote signal search.
The remote transmitter sends a signal to the main
receiver every thirty seconds. Wait at least two
minutes to see if a signal has been received before
continuing with the additional troubleshooting steps.
If the receiver is not able to receive the remote signal:
1. Check the remote to see that it is still in place.
2. Check the batteries of both the remote and the
receiver.
3. Verify that the transmission distance is within range
and the path is clear of obstacles and interference
(shorten the distance if necessary).
4. Make certain that the channel number displayed on
the remote matches the channel number indicated
on the receiver.
5. If there are two or more remote transmitters, make
certain that they are not set to the same channel.
Additional Steps--
Check to make certain that the unit will pick up a
nearby signal:
1. Place the remote and receiver in a vertical position
approximately 6 feet away from the each other with
no obstructions between the units.
2. Make certain the main receiver is set to display the
correct remote channel.
3. On the receiver simultaneously press the
CHANNEL and MEM button to force a signal
search.
If, after waiting at least 2 minutes, the main receiver
displays the temperature from the remote transmitter,
the units are functioning properly and will perform
within their limitations.
If after performing the above steps, the units do not
perform when placed further apart, try the following.
– Place the remote as high as possible.
– Place the remote in a vertical/stand-up position.
– Place the receiver in a vertical/stand-up position.
– Place the remote and the receiver in locations
where the radio signal does not need to be sent
through metal panels, thick walls, multilevels, etc.
– Try several locations. Sometimes moving either
unit several feet or as little as 6 inches will make
a signi cant difference.
– Try several different orientations (turn the remote
and/or the receiver to the left and/or right).
– Try setting both the remote and receiver to
channel 2.
– Replace the batteries in both units with new
alkaline batteries.
On occasion radio-transmitted signals may not work
in some environments. If this unit does not work in
your environment, call 281 482-1714 for additional
assistance.

ALL OPERATION DIFFICULTIES
If this meter does not function properly for any
reason, replace the batteries with a new, high quality
batteries (see the “Battery Replacement” section).
Low battery power can occasionally cause an number
of “apparent” operational dif culties. Replacing the
batteries with new fresh batteries will solve most
dif culties.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
An erratic display, faint display, no display, or a battery
symbol appearing on the display are all indicators that
the batteries need replacement. See the “Remote -
Battery Installation and Channel Selection” and/or the
“Receiver - Battery Installation” section.
