Quick setup manual
SET UP:
IMPORTANT: Do not mix old and new batteries.
NOTE: This temperature station can receive one
transmitter only.
• First, insert fresh alkaline batteries into the TX43U
transmitter, observing the correct polarity (see
marking inside battery compartment). Keep
transmitter 5-10 feet from the temperature station.
• Within 30 seconds of powering up the transmitter,
insert batteries into the Temperature Station,
observing the correct polarity (see marking inside
battery compartment). Once the batteries are in place,
all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following
the indoor temperature will be displayed. If the indoor
temperature is not shown in the LCD after 60
seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60
seconds before reinserting them. Once the indoor
data is displayed you may proceed to the next step.
• After the batteries are inserted, the Temperature
Station will start receiving outdoor temp data from the
transmitter. The outdoor temperature should then be
displayed on the Temperature station. If this does not
happen after 2 minutes, remove the batteries from
both units and start again from the beginning.
• In order to ensure sufficient 433 MHz transmission,
the outdoor transmitter should be placed a distance of
no more than 100 feet (30 meters) from the
Temperature Station and the transmitter.
INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE
TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
The Temperature transmitter uses 2 x
AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. When
batteries will need to be replaced, the
low battery icon will appear on the LCD
in front of the outdoor temperature. To
install and replace the batteries, please
follow the steps below:
1. Remove the battery compartment
cover. (Slide to the bottom, and
then lift straight off).
2. Insert the batteries, observing the
correct polarity (see marking).
3. Replace the battery cover to the
unit.
NOTE:
In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all
units need to be reset by following the set up procedures.
This is because the transmitter at start-up assigns a
random security code and this code must be received and
stored by the Temperature Station in the first few minutes
of power supplying.
RESET BUTTON:
The Temperature Transmitter has a RESET button. Use a
small pointed object to gently press and release to send a
signal. Follow the instructions for in SET UP regarding the
display.
NOTE: Removing power from the transmitter and display
negates the need for the RESET button.
LOW BATTERY:
It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units every
12 months to ensure optimum accuracy of these units. A
low battery icon will display next to the outdoor
temperature when the transmitter batteries are low and
next to the indoor temperature then the batteries in the
temperature station are low.
Please participate in the preservation of the
environment. Return used batteries to an
authorised depot.
POSITIONING THE REMOTE TEMPERATURE
TRANSMITTER:
The remote temperature transmitter can be placed onto
any flat surface using the wide base or wall mounted using
the hole on the back of the sensor. Best location is under
the eave (12-18 inches) on the North side of the home.
WALL MOUNT:
1. Install a mounting screw (not included)
into a wall—leaving approximately 3/16
of an inch (5mm) extended from the
wall.
2. Place the temperature transmitter onto
the screw, using the hanging hole on
the backside. Gently pull the
transmitter down to lock into place
NOTE: Always ensure that the transmitter
locks onto the screw before releasing.
TABLE STAND: This is not recommended as the
transmitter may be blown over and damaged.
NOTE: The mounting surface can affect the transmission
range. If, for instance, the unit is attached to a piece of
metal, it may reduce the transmitting range. For this reason,
we recommend not to place the unit on any metal surfaces
or in any position where a large metal or highly polished
surface is in the immediate vicinity (garage doors, double
glazing, etc.). Before securing in place, please ensure that
the Temperature Station can receive the 433MHz signal
from the temperature Transmitter at the positions that you
wish to place them.
The remote temperature transmitter should be placed
outside in a dry, shaded area. The remote temperature
transmitter has a range of 100 feet (30 meters). Keep in
mind this distance is in open air with no obstructions and
that radio waves DO NOT curve to go around objects.
Real-world 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.
MAINTENANCE:
• Keep the temperature station in a dry place.
• Do not expose the display to extreme temperatures,
vibration or shock.
• Clean it with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or
scouring agents.
• If the unit does not work properly, change the battery.
