2Before you begin configuring your wireless indoor sensor,you should be familiar with its features and with the displayand the location and operation of the sensor buttons. Yourthermostat consists of two parts: the sensor cover and thebase.The DisplayINSTALLATIONINDOORS SELECT SENSOR LOCATIONProper location insures that the remote sensor will provide acomfortable home or building temperature. Observe thefollowing general rules when selecting a location:2ATTACH WIRELESS REMOTE SENSOR BASE TO WALLCHECK WIRELESS INDOOR SENSOR OPERATIONRefer to the thermostat user manual for complete details.1. Remove the packing material from the sensor. Gentlypull the front cover straight off the base. Forcing or pryingon the sensor will cause damage to the unit.2. Place base on wall and mark mounting hole locationsusing base as a template.3. Move base out of the way. Drill mounting holes.4. Fasten base loosely to wall, as shown above, using twomounting screws. Place a level against bottom of base,adjust until level, and then tighten screws. (Leveling is forappearance only and will not affect sensor operation.) Ifyou are using existing mounting holes, or if holes drilledare too large and do not allow you to tighten base snugly,use plastic screw anchors to secure subbase sensor tooperate properly with your system.5. Place two AAA batteries in the batteries holder baselocation.6. Replace the cover by lining up the cover with the baseand press until the cover snaps onto the base.12The Thermostat Buttons1Raises the setting.2Lowers the setting.3the sensed temperature from –40 to 140°F with°F and °C indicator4Channel identification A B C O indicator59 bar comfort adjust bar graph with H (hotter) andC (cooler)6Transmission occurrence indicator7Key pad lockout indicator8Calibrate temperature offset indicator9Learn mode activated Indicator10Low batteries indicator11Temperature offset is used when hold time is active12Shows PWR with on to indicate normal operation withdisplay OFFDISPLAY QUICK REFERENCEAo6435ABCO LOCKLEARNBATT PWR HLDHCALIBCo11 9687105412355Normal Operation Configuration ItemsAntennaMounting HoleMounting Hole1. The remote sensor can be located a maximum of 150feet from the thermostat.2. Locate sensor about 5 ft. above the room floor level.3. Install sensor on a partitioning wall, not on an outsidewall.4. Never expose sensor to direct light from lamps, sun,fireplaces or any temperature radiating equipment.5. Avoid locations close to windows, adjoining outsidewalls, or doors that lead outside.6. Avoid locations close to air registers or in the direct pathof air from them.7. Make sure there are no electrical wires, metal, pipes orduct work in that part of the wall chosen for the sensorlocation.8. Avoid locating the sensor on a concrete wall, junctionbox or metal plate.9. Never locate sensor in a room that is normally warmer orcooler than the rest of the home (such as the kitchen) orbuilding.10. Avoid locations with poor air circulation, such as behinddoors or in alcoves.11. In the home, the bedroom, the living or dining room isnormally a good location, provided there is no cookingrange or refrigerator on opposite side of wall.NOTEThis sensor must be attached to a wall during operation.Moving the sensor around is strictly prohibited.
3CONFIGURATION MENUSThe configuration menus allow you to set certain thermostat operating characteristics to your system or personal requirements.Two configuration menus are available User Configuration Menu and Installer Configuration Menu.User Configuration MenuIn the normal mode, press and keys at the same time momentarily to enter the User menu. To scroll through themenu momentarily press the and keys at the same time. To exit the menu scroll through all menu items. If nobuttons are pushed for 3 minutes, the control will return to normal operation.Displayed Press or Step Press button(s) (factory default) to select Comments1 and LOCK on Select keypad lockout OFF or ON(OF)2 and HLD 1 to 8 hrs Select temporary adjust temperature(4h) in 1 hour increments hold time3 and CALIB 1-4 bars (1°-4°) C to Select temperature display adjustment(Sensed Temperature) 1-4 bars (1°-4°) H higher or lower4 and dFOF Select display temperature OFF or ON(on)5 and dL OF Select display backlight OFF or ON(on)6 and oFoC Select temperature display to F or C(Sensed Temperature)7 and _____ _____ Exit user menu and return to normaloperationUser configuration menuThe User Configuration Menu table summarizes the configuration options. An explanation of each option follows.1) Select keypad lockout OFF or ON – Selecting LOCK ON will cause the keypads to lock in the normal operation mode. Thiswill prevent the user from adjusting the sensed temperature in the normal operation. Selecting LOCK OFF will cause thekeypads to unlock in the normal operation mode. Display will indicate LOCK in the display when the keypad is in lockout.2) Select temporary adjust temperature hold time – Select the length of time for the temporary temperature adjustment.Hold time default is 4 hours and can be set from 1 to 8 hours in 1 hour increments.3) Select temperature display adjustment higher or lower – allows you to adjust the room temperature display 1° to 4° higheror lower. Your sensor was accurately calibrated at the factory but you have the option to change the display temperature tomatch your previous sensor.4) Select display temperature OFF or ON – Selecting OFF allows you to disable displaying the sensed temperature in the normaloperation. Instead the sensor will display PWR with the word (on) to indicated normal operation.5) Select display backlight OFF or ON -. The display backlight improves display contrast in low lighting conditions. SelectingdL ON will keep the light on for a short period of time after any key is pressed. Selecting OFF will keep the light off.6) Select temperature display to oF or oC - Changes the display readout to Celsius or Fahrenheit as required.
Installer Configuration MenuIn the normal mode, press and keys for a minimum of five seconds at the same time to enter the Installer menu.To scroll through the menu momentarily press the and keys at the same time. To exit the menu scroll through allmenu items.

An explanation of each option follows.1) Select learn mode OFF or ON – Selecting LEARN on enables the sensors learning mode. In the learning mode the sensorwill transmit the information once every 10 seconds for a period of 10 minutes. The LEARN icon will be displayed in normaloperation during the learning mode. The transmitter icon will be displayed for a short period of time with each transmission.For more information about the learning mode, please refer to the thermostat’s user manual.2) Select sensor identification from A to O – For multiple sensors systems, each sensor must have a designated identification.For indoor sensors you may select A, B or C. For outdoor sensor you must select O.3) Select transmitter frequency offset – The sensor’s transmitter operates on 418MHz radio frequency by default. Interfer-ence may occur if another device or equipment operates on the same frequency. The interference may degrade thecommunications between the sensor and the thermostat. To avoid interference, you may select a different radio frequencyfor your sensor. This menu item allows you to select a radio frequency offset from 1 to 9MHz from the base frequency. Forexample; if the you selected an offset of 4, the transmitter radio frequency will be 418MHz + 4MHz = 422MHz. Note thatthe sensor’s transmitter and the thermostat’s receiver must operate on the same frequency to communicate. To changethermostat’s receiver frequency please refer to the thermostat’s user manual.SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS1) Low Battery power: The sensor will display the word LO along with BATT icon to indicate a low battery power condition.The batteries must be replaced to ensure a proper sensor performance. For optimum performance, we recommendreplacing batteries once a year with fresh “AAA” Energizer ® alkaline batteries.2) Bad wireless remote temperature Sensor: If the sensor’s temperature device fails the sensor will display E1. If the sensor’stransmitter device fails the sensor will display E0. In both cases the sensor must be replaced.OPERATIONThe sensor monitors the temperature and sends information to the thermostat. Updated information is sent to the thermostatwhen the temperature changes 3/16 degree or more from the last update.The room temperature can be adjusted hotter or cooler without changing the thermostat setpoint by pressing or on the remote. The temperature can be adjusted 1° to 4°F for the length of time set for temporary hold in the User configura-tion menu. When the or keys are pressed to adjust the temperature the comfort adjust bar graph will show 1 to 4bars up with H to indicate hotter or 1 to 4 bars down with C to indicate cooler.
