temperatures after the 15 minutes, please retry the set up as stated above. After both
indoor and outdoor temperatures are displayed for 15 minutes you can place your
thermo-hygro sensor outdoors, and set your time.
The remote temperature sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area. The remote
temperature sensor has a range of 330 feet. Keep in mind that the 330 feet is in open
air with no obstructions and that radio waves DO NOT curve around objects. Actual
transmission range will vary depending on what is in the path of the signal. Each
obstruction (roof, walls, floors, ceilings, thick trees, etc.) will effectively cut signal range
in half.
Example: A wireless weather station receiver with a 330 feet range is mounted on an
interior wall, so that the signal has to pass through one interior wall, one exterior wall,
and across the 10 foot width of the room between the 2 walls. The first wall will reduce
the range to 165 feet, and the second wall will reduce the range to 87 feet. Factoring in
the 10 foot room, this leaves a maximum of 77 feet of remaining signal range.
This allowance is typically enough for a frame wall with non-metallic siding; however
certain materials can reduce range even further. Metal siding, stucco, and some types
of glass can reduce signal range by as much as ¾ or more, compared to the ½
reduction typical of most obstructions. It is possible to receive a signal through these
materials, however maximum range will be much less due to their tendency to absorb or
reflect a much larger portion of the sensor’s signal.
NOTE: Fog and mist will not harm your thermo-hygro sensor, but direct rain must be
avoided.
DETAILED SET UP GUIDE
I. BATTERY INSTALLATION (When one Thermo-hygro sensor is being used)
1. First, insert the batteries to the Thermo-hygro sensor (see “A. Thermo-hygro
sensor” below).
2. Within 2 minutes of powering up the sensor, insert the batteries to the
Temperature Station (see “B. Wireless Weather station” below). Once the
batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the
indoor temperature and the time as 12:00 will be displayed. If they are not shown
in LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds
before reinserting them. Once the indoor data is displayed user may proceed to
the next step.
3. After the batteries are inserted, the Weather Station will start receiving data
signal from the sensor. The outdoor temperature and humidity should then be
displayed on the Weather Station. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the
batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1 and the
signal reception icon is no longer shown.
