2.1WaterThermometerSensorSetUp

Note: Can use rechargeable batteries. We recommend fresh alkaline batteries for temperature

ranges between -4 °F and 140 °F and fresh lithium batteries for temperature ranges between -40 °F

and 140 °F.

1. Twist the KEY lid to unlock, and twist the main of the sensor by removing the top cover, as

shown in Figure 1 .

Figure 1

2. BEFORE inserting the batteries, locate the dip switches on the inside cover of the lid of the

transmitter.

Figure 2 displays all four switches in the OFF position (factory default setting).

Figure 2

Channel Number: The F007PF supports up to eight transmitters. To set each channel number (the

default is Channel 1), change Dip Switches 1, 2 and 3, as referenced in

3. Table 1.

Temperature Units of Measure: To change the transmitter display units of measure (°F vs. °C), change

Dip Switch 4, as referenced in

4. Table 1.

5. Insert four AAA batteries.

1) Open the battery compartment of the transmitters；

2) Insert 4XAA 1,5V Alkaline batteries into the battery compartment of the Remote, observing the

correct polarity.

Note: The upper cover and lower connection lead has a sensor cover ,when the operation must be

careful not to pull the connecting line, to prevent the breaking point.

6. After inserting the batteries, the remote sensor LED indicator will light for 4 seconds, and

then flash once per 60 seconds thereafter. Each time it flashes, the sensor is transmitting data.

7. Verify the correct channel number (CH) and temperature units of measure (°F vs. °C) are on

the display, as shown in Figure 3.

(2) temperature units (°F vs. °C)

(3) channel number

8. Close the battery door. Make sure the gasket (around the battery compartment) is properly

seated in its trace prior to closing the door. Focus on maintenance of two RED waterproof

map are in place, otherwise it will cause not waterproof ,and damage the remoter sensor. as

shown in Figure 34.

Figure 4

Note: Should be more careful, outermost o-waterproof off easily

9. Twist the main of the sensor by lock the top cover, and twist the KEY lid to lock, as shown in

Figure 15.

Figure 15

10. The sensor has a string to loop through the hole on KEY at the base of the tubular casing.

This can allow you to hang the unit while you immerse it in water. as shown in Figure 16.

Note: Place the sensor in the water and make sure that it is within the effective transmission range

from the main unit

Problem Solution

Wireless remote (water thermometer) not

reporting in to console.

There are dashes (--.-) on the display

console.

The maximum line of sight communication range is 150’

and 100’ under most conditions. Move the sensor

assembly closer to the display console.

If the sensor assembly is too close (less than 5’), move

the sensor assembly away from the display console.

Make sure the remote sensor LCD display is working

and the transmitter light is flashing once per 60 seconds.

Install a fresh set of batteries in the remote thermometer.

Problem Solution

For cold weather environments, install lithium batteries.

Make sure the remote sensors are not transmitting

through solid metal (acts as an RF shield), or earth

barrier (down a hill).

Move the display console around electrical noise

generating devices, such as computers, TVs and other

wireless transmitters or receivers.

Move the remote sensor to a higher location. Move the

remote sensor to a closer location.

Temperature sensor reads too high in the

day time. Make sure the water thermometer is mounted in water.

Consider the following radiation shield if this is not

possible:

http://www.ambientweather.com/amwesrpatean.html

Indoor and Water Temperature do not

agree Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize due to

signal filtering. The indoor and water temperature

sensors should agree within 2 °F (the sensor accuracy is

± 1 °F).

Use the calibration feature to match the indoor and water

temperature to a known source.

Display console contrast is weak Replace console batteries with a fresh set of batteries.
