BATTERY REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the battery cover by sliding the cover down.
2. Observing the correct polarity install 2 AAA batteries. The batteries will fit
tightly (to avoid start-up problems make sure they do not spring free).
3. Do not mix old and new batteries.
4. Do not mix alkaline, lithium, standard or rechargeable batteries.
5. Replace the battery cover by sliding upwards.
Be sure battery cover is on securely.
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR
When batteries are low, the low battery indicator shows up on the LCD. You will
receive an e-mail or mobile text message alert when the battery power of the
sensor is low. Change the batteries immediately.
Note: The LED turns ON briefly after changing batteries. The LED turns OFF
when not needed to save battery power. The previously stored information in
the sensor will not be affected or cancelled while you change the batteries.
MOUNTING
Select a location where the transmitter may be installed.
Protected from water and rain as the transmitter is water resistant not water
proof.
Within range of the wireless gateway (see IMPORTANT SETUP & OPERATION
NOTES”).
If mounting within the control area of a hot tub, mount the transmitter far from
the electrical motor that drives the pumps which create electrical noise that
may interfere with transmission of the temperature signal.
IMPORTANT! TEST the transmitter in the selected mounting location for 1
hour before alterations are made to your property.
Check signal reception to the wireless gateway.
Note:
The sensor can be used without the probe wire for ambient
temperature/humidity.
The probe sensor can be used as a stand-alone product. Simply insert the
probe wire into the water of your hot tub and secure the transmitter in an
area that is protected from water. The transmitter case is water resistant but
not waterproof.
The fine threaded probe sensor can be secured in a bolt hole to prevent
movement.
IMPORTANT: Before inserting the threaded probe into a bolt
hole it is recommended to cover the threads with 3 layers of
Teflon tape (not included).
*CAUTION!* Do not alter or change your property until you have
considered all options for installation. Assess your specific hot
tub/spa construction to determine if additional plumbing supplies
(not included) would be needed to install the probe.
La Crosse Technology is not responsible for alterations made by
the homeowner to their property.
Select what temperature you wish to monitor:
Actual water temperature
Heater water temperature
Cabinet temperature
THE TX60U-IT TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY SENSOR
The sensor can be mounted onto a wall with the use of screws
MOUNTING WITH SCREWS
1. Remove the mounting bracket from the sensor.
2. Place the mounting bracket over the desired location.
3. Mark mounting surface with a pencil through the 2 holes of the bracket.
4. Screw mounting bracket onto surface and tighten screws to bracket.
5. Insert the sensor into the bracket.
TABLE STANDING AND OTHER MOUNTING OPTIONS
With the mounting bracket installed at the bottom or on the top of
the sensor, the user can place it on any flat surface.
Note: Before permanently fixing the sensor mounting bracket, place
all units in the desired locations to check that the outdoor
temperature & humidity readings are receivable. In event that the
signal is not received, relocate the sensor or move them slightly as
this may help the signal reception.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Avoid extreme temperatures, vibration, and shock to prevent damage.
Clean displays and units with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use solvents or
scouring agents; they may mark the displays and casings.
Do not submerge the sensor case in water.
Avoid kinking the temperature probe cable.
Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage.
Opening the casings invalidates the warranty. Do not try to repair the unit.
Contact La Crosse Technology® for repairs.
