INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of this Remote Sensor. This unit provides updated information on outdoor temperature, and operates within a 100-foot radius (Open Area) of the home receiver. Up to three remote sensors (sold separately) can be utilized to monitor temperatures in various areas of your home (e.g., outdoors, a child’s bedroom, a wine cellar, etc.). It’s easy to connect and install the unit, following the simple instructions contained in this User’s Manual. In this box, you will find: • Remote Sensor • User’s Manual Keep this User’s Manual handy as you install and use your new product. It contains step-by-step instructions, technical specifications, warranty information and safety warnings. FEATURES Outdoor Temperatures Operating Distance up to 100 feet (30m) GETTING STARTED Battery Installation and Information Batteries are not supplied with this product. You will need two AAA batteries for the remote sensor. INSERT BATTERIES IN THE HOME RECEIVER FIRST, BEFORE PUTTING BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE SENSOR. Note: Do not use rechargeable batteries with this product. Installing Batteries in the Remote Sensor 1. Lift off the bracket stand on the remote sensor and loosen the four screws with a small screwdriver. 2. Insert two AAA batteries (sold separately), carefully following the marking inside to ensure the batteries are inserted properly, with the + and – ends in the correct positions. 3. Replace the battery compartment cover and tighten screws. Battery Disposal Replace batteries with the same type of battery recommended by the manufacturer. When disposing of old batteries, respect the law and the environment. Dispose of batteries in an environmentally friendly manner.
Setting Up the Remote Sensor The WETR1000 is shipped with one remote sensor. Up to three remote sensors can be used with the home receiver to obtain temperature readings from three different areas of your home (Additional remote sensors sold separately). To set up the remote sensor, follow these steps: 1. Once batteries are installed in both units, press the Tx button underneath the cover on the back of the remote sensor to trigger transmission. The outdoor temperature appears on the home receiver. 2. Set the first remote sensor to CH 1 using the CH switch. If you use additional remote sensors, set them to Channels 2 and 3, respectively. (Up to three remote sensors can be utilized with this home receiver.) 3. To verify transmission, press the Tx button again on the remote sensor. The red LED light on the remote sensor flashes when it transmits a signal. The temperature reading from the remote sensor is updated and displayed on the home receiver and the remote sensor. To replace batteries in the remote sensor, follow these steps: 1. When replacing batteries, it is necessary to clear the corresponding channel of the home receiver. To do this, press the CH button on the front of the home receiver to access the channel you wish to clear. 2. Hold the CH button down for three seconds to clear the registration for that channel. This clears the channel corresponding to the remote sensor that needs a battery replacement. NOTE: Removing the batteries on the home receiver clears all settings and registrations on all remote sensors. Positioning the Remote Sensor Position the remote sensors for maximum results by following these steps: 1. Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and out of the line of direct moisture. 2. Place the sensor within 100 feet of the home receiver. 3. Position the remote sensor to face the main receiver, minimizing obstructions such as doors, furniture and walls. 4. The remote sensor should not be placed near metallic or electronic objects. 5. Position the remote sensor close to the home receiver during colder months as below-freezing temperatures may affect battery performance and signal transmission. 6. Experiment with various locations to get the desired results. 7. Secure the remote sensor in the chosen location, using the wall mount or the table stand.
DATA TRANSMISSION Data is sent from the sensor(s) to the home receiver every 31 seconds, if there is a change in temperature. If there is no change in temperature, the remote sensor updates the transmission to the home receiver every 2.5 minutes. The LED indicator light, located on the front of the remote sensor, flashes when the transmission is occurring to ensure that the remote sensor is functional, even though the information on the LCD display may remain the same. Information from that transmission is displayed on the outdoor temperature area of the home receiver screen. Note: Signals from household electronic devices such as doorbells, electronic garage doors and home security systems may cause temporary reception failure. This is normal and does not affect the general performance of the WETR1000 Remote Sensor. Reception resumes once the interference stops. Selecting Fahrenheit or Celsius Readings The default reading on the remote sensor is Fahrenheit. To select Celsius reading on the remote sensor, follow these steps: 1. Take the back cover off the remote sensor. 2. Press the button that says C/F. Pressing this button toggles back and forth between the Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature reading method.
