Patent Pending P/N 88-812 Rev. 3THE WIRELESS TEMP SENSOR SYSTEM IS MADE UP OF AT LEAST ONE THERMOSTAT WITH A S1-LXRFM THERMOSTAT RF MODULE INSTALLED AND AT LEAST ONE WIRELESS TEMP SENSOR.SUGGESTED USES FOR ONE WIRELESS TEMP SENSOR:SUGGESTED USES FOR MULTIPLE WIRELESS REMOTE SENSORS: To report the outdoor temperature when using a compatible thermostat. It is recommended to attach the wireless sensor to a north-facing wall where it will not be in direct sunlight or the spray of sprinklers.To report the temperature of a room, such as that of a baby’s room when using a compatible thermostat.To control the temperature in a space that is different from where a compatible thermostat is located.To control to the average of multiple wireless sensors in a large open space using a compatible thermostat. This type of application wouldinclude large, open office areas. One outdoor sensor and up to 8 indoor sensors may be used with 1 thermostat. The thermostat automatically averages the temperatures from up to 8 linked wireless indoor sensors.If more than 1 wireless indoor sensor is used with 1 thermostat, then each sensor must have a different ID Number.WIRELESS TEMP SENSORThe S1-LXRFTS requires 2 AAA batteries.Front Cover RemovedLink ButtonDIPMountingMountingBottomTopScrewScrewBatteriesDIP SwitchLegendLink LED++Setup & InstallationThe wireless sensor must be linked to a thermostat with an RF Module installed for proper communication and operation.RF ModuleInstallationUsing the supplied screws, attach the rear housing the mounting surface. For outdoor applications it is recommended to install the sensor on a surface that isnot in direct sunlight. The components of the sensorhave been precoated at the factory to give limitedprotection against moisture. toInstall 2) AAA batteries as illustrated above.Battery type recommendation: Temperature range: 32-120 Fahrenheit, Alkaline.

When the led illuminates continuously, this signals that the link database is reset. Remove the AAA batteries from the Sensor.Replace the batteries while pressing the LINK button on the wireless sensor.The link database is an internal listing of all devices that have been successfully paired to the sensor. If it becomes necessary toclear and reset the link database in the sensor for any reason (such as relocating the sensor to a new location with new devicesor replacing a thermostat with a new RF Module) follow these steps to clear its memory of linked devices:Unlinking Press the Link button on the sensor for up to 5 the indicator light flashes slowly. same Link button on the sensor for another 5 seconds.

The thermostat display will confirm if the sensor was successfully unlinked.If it becomes necessary to unlink the sensor from the thermostat, follow the steps below.Examples:Set the switches on the Wireless Temp SensorAll switches in theOFF position = 0.ADD all switches in the ON positionto arrive at the proper setting.OFFON1 2 4OFFON1 2 4OUTINDOORA B COutdoor Indoor ID# = 0 Indoor ID# = 3 (1+2=3) OFFON1 2 4(ID# not used) The wireless sensor must be linked to a thermostat with an RF Module installed for proper communication and operation.S1-LXRFTSWIRELESS TEMP SENSORRF ModuleS1-LXRFM(ACCSRY)ButtonAccessoryTo startup the Wireless Temp Sensor, install the batteries as shown on the reverse page. Upon startup, the LED will flash onceindicating the the sensor has been started or reset. After a pause, any additional flashes will indicate how many thermostats thesensor is currently linked to. If there are no additional LED flashes, the sensor is not linked to any thermostat. StartupNote: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonableprotection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with theinstructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of thefollowing measures: 1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. 2. Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver. 3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. 4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.P/N 88-812 Rev. 3Operation with non-approved equipment is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. The user is cautioned that changes and modifications made to the equipment without the approval of the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
