FCC: This product has been tested and found to comply with FCC part 15 subpart C. 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 of the device. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this device 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 the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
Industry Canada: This Device complies with Industry Canada License-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: 1) this device may not cause interference, and 2) this device must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device under Industry Canada regulations.

Check the contents of this package. If any of the contents listed are missing or
damaged, please refer to the Limited Warranty and Product Return Procedure on
the back of this brochure and contact your wholesaler or tekmar sales representative
for assistance.
• One Receiver Unit (for indoor installation) • One Transmitter Unit (for outdoor
installation) • 2 1.5V AA Lithium batteries • Installation hardware • One Installation
& Operation Manual
When choosing the location for the receiver unit, consider the following:
• Interior Wall.
• Keep dry. Avoid potential leakage onto the unit.
• Relative Humidity less than 90%. Non-condensing environment.
• No exposure to extreme temperatures beyond 32 to 122°F (0 - 50°C)
• Away from equipment, appliances, or other sources of electrical interference.
• Easy access for wiring
• Approximately 5 feet (1.5 m) off the finished floor.
• DO NOT mount the transmitter or receiver in a metal enclosure, or on a
surface with conductive properties. It will reduce the signal strength and
affect the communication distance and reliability.
Step 2 - Install receiver
Step 1 - Check the Contents
Grasp the front cover by the fingertip
grips on the top and bottom of the
enclosure and pull the front cover off.
Remove the wiring cover screw.
The enclosure is either mounted flush
onto a wall or it can be placed onto a 2"
x 4" electrical box. The mounting holes
in the enclosure accept #6 screws.
Wiring to the control enters the wiring
chamber through the back or bottom of
the enclosure.

Step 4 - Confirm Link
Step 3 - Provide power
24 V (ac) Power to the receiver unit
Connect the 24 V (ac) power supply to the R and
C terminals (1 and 2) on the receiver unit. Replace
the cover.
Use a separate power supply for the receiver when
connecting to a 24 V (ac) powered control.

Batteries in the transmitter unit
Remove the cover from the transmitter unit. Pull out the
plastic tab that is keeping the batteries from making
contact. Put the cover back on the base and secure
with screws.
Please note: 1.5V Lithium batteries are required to
provide the specified battery life and temperature range.
If the communication light is displayed on the control, the
transmitter is linked properly.
If the light is not on, the devices will need to be linked.
Remove the cover on the transmitter so that the button below
the battery terminals can be accessed. Press and hold both
the button on the transmitter and the button on the receiver
simultaneously for 5 seconds. Linking is successful when
the communication LED is on.

LED Operation
Step 5 - Install transmitter
• The transmitter should be mounted on an exterior wall which
best represents the heat load on the building (a northern wall
for most buildings and a southern facing wall for buildings with
large south facing glass areas)
•
In order to prevent heat transmitted through the wall from
affecting the sensor reading, it may be necessary to install
an insulating barrier behind the enclosure.
•
The 087 should not be exposed to heat sources such as
ventilation or window openings.
•
The 087 should be installed at an elevation above the ground
that will prevent accidental damage or tampering.
• Do not install the transmitter on a conductive surface.
Loss of Communication Troubleshooting
If the Communication LED is not on, please try the following:
1. Confirm that the receiver is powered with 24 V (ac) by observing that the green
Power LED is on.
2. Confirm that batteries are still good. If the batteries are dead, the
Communication and Low Battery LEDs will be off.
3. Try re-linking the devices, as described on page 4.
4. Reset the receiver by pressing the link button momentarily.
5. If the communication LED remains off, please call Technical Customer Support
at (250) 545-7749 or email tekmar.customerservice@wattswater.com.
LED Indicator Status Description
Power On (Green) Normal operation
Off No power. Check that the wires are securely
connected to the device.
Communication On (Green) Signal is good.
Off No signal. There is a loss of communication or the
transmitter battery is dead, resulting in an open
circuit error on the control.
Flashing Signal is weak. Consider relocating a device to
obtain a stronger signal.
Low Battery On (Red) Battery life is low. Replace within 3 months.
Off Battery is good.

Sensor Resistance Settings
Sensor terminal wiring
DIP switches in the right side of the wiring chamber
are configured to match the sensor requirements of the
connected control.
'10K Type 2' is the default setting that works with all tekmar
controls and thermostats with outdoor sensor inputs. To
determine the correct setting for other control types, refer
to the following temperature resistance charts.
Connect 2-conductor wire between the control or device that requires
an outdoor temperature reading and the sensor terminals (3 and 4)
on the receiver. This connection is not polarity sensitive. Set the DIP
switches to match the type of resistance reading required.
