IMPORTANT NOTES ON SETUP AND OPERATION
•
The Solar Temperature Transmitter should be placed in a dry area.
•
The Solar Temperature Transmitter consumes solar power and internal
rechargeable batteries.
•
Fog and mist will not harm the device but direct rain must be avoided.
•
The Solar Temperature Transmitter has a range of 330 feet (100 m). Keep
in mind that the 330 feet is in open air with no obstructions and that radio
waves DO NOT curve around objects. Actual transmission range will vary
depending on what is in the path of the signal. Each obstruction (roof,
walls, floors, ceilings, thick trees, etc.) will effectively cut signal range in
half.
MOUNTING
THE SOLAR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
The Solar Temperature Transmitter can be mounted in several ways.
MOUNTING WITH SCREWS
1.
Remove the mounting bracket from the Solar Temperature
Transmitter.
2.
Place the mounting bracket over the desired location.
3.
Through the two screw holes of the bracket, mark the
mounting surface with a pencil.
4.
Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface.
Ensure that the screws are tight against the bracket.
5.
Insert the Solar Temperature Transmitter into the bracket.
Example: A wireless Weather/ Temperature Station with a 330 feet (100 m)
range is mounted on an interior wall, so that the signal has to pass through
one interior wall, one exterior wall, and across the 10 feet (3 m) width of the
room between the 2 walls. The first wall will reduce the range to 165 feet
(50 m), and the second wall will reduce the range to 87 feet (26.5 m).
Factoring in the 10 foot room, this leaves a maximum of 77 feet (23.5 m) of
remaining signal range.
TABLE STANDING OR OTHERS
With the mounting bracket installed at the bottom or the top of the transmitter,
user can place it on any flat surface.
Note: Before permanently fixing the remote temperature sensor wall base, place
all units in the desired locations to check that the outdoor temperature readings
are receivable. In event that the signal is not received, relocate the remote
temperature sensor or move them slightly as this may help the signal reception.
This allowance is typically enough for a frame wall with non-metallic siding;
however certain materials can reduce range even further. Metal siding,
stucco, and some types of glass can reduce signal range by as much as ¾
or more compared to the ½ reduction typical of most obstructions. It is
possible to receive a signal through these materials, however maximum
range will be much less due to their tendency to absorb or reflect a much
larger portion of the sensor’s signal.
•
•
To start the operation, remove the transparent label covered on the Solar
Temperature Transmitter and gently press the RESET button once by the
provided plastic reset rod.
Note: It is important to allow sufficient light to reach the solar panel while
activating the transmitter. Place the unit in a bright environment to charge
up the internal rechargeable batteries and do not cover the solar panel with
hands or other objects.
All segments of the LCD will light up briefly, the version number, security
code and battery voltage will be displayed sequentially. After a short while,
the instant temperature can be read on the transmitter, and the
transmission of signal to Temperature Station begins.
Note: The displayed battery voltage should be higher than 2.4V to maintain
the normal operation.
Insert batteries to the Temperature Station.
IMPORTANT! Make sure the correct polarity when inserting batteries.
Once the Temperature Station is powered up, all LCD segments will light
up briefly. The indoor data will be displayed first, and then the outdoor data.
In order to make sure better reception and transmission, the distance
between Solar Temperature Transmitter and Temperature Station should
no more than 330 feet (100 meters).
Note: Avoid placing the transmitter onto or in the immediate proximity of
metal window frames. Using other electrical products such as headphones
or speakers operating on the 915MHz frequency may prevent reception of
the transmitted data.
If the Temperature Station does not receive signal of the Solar
Temperature Transmitter after 5 minutes. Remove all batteries of the
Temperature Station and restart from step 1.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
•
•
The Solar Temperature Transmitter measures and transmits signal about
every 8 seconds when its battery voltage is 2.8V or higher.
Note: If the sensor is placed in a dark environment or the battery voltage is
dropped lower than 2.8V, the signal is transmitted every 16 seconds.
After the batteries of Temperature Station have been installed, the
Temperature Station will search for the signal of Solar Temperature
Transmitter for duration of few minutes. If the connection process is failed,
user shall make sure the units are within range of each other, or restart the
transmitter SETTING UP procedure again.
•
•
•
Extreme temperatures, vibration, and shock should be avoided to prevent
damage to the units.
Clean displays and units with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use solvents or
scouring agents; they may mark the displays and casings.
Do not submerge in water.
Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and
damage.
Opening the casings invalidates the warranty. Do not try to repair the unit.
Contact La Crosse Technology for repairs.

Temperature Transmitter refer to the main operation manual of the Temperature
Station.
IDLE MODE
MODE
This mode aims to reduce power consumption of the transmitter. Under this
mode, the transmitter turns off the LCD and stops the transmission of signal. It
checks the battery voltage and detects the solar cell condition regularly. The
IDLE mode happens:
•
if the battery voltage is lower than 2.4V, “LO” will be displayed on the LCD
for a short while before the transmitter enters IDLE mode.

Note: The transmitter will check and charge up the internal rechargeable battery
automatically, when it detects the battery voltage rises up to 2.5V, the LCD turns

WARRANTY INFORMATION
INFORMATION
It is the most energy saving mode. Under this mode, the transmitter turns off the
LCD, no transmission of signal and no checking of battery voltage. The
transmitter shows “StP” on the LCD for a short while before it enters STOP mode.
The STOP mode happens:
•
if the user covers the solar cell for 10 seconds and presses the reset
button.
•
if the transmitter is placed in the dark environment for 72 hours.
