Outdoor Channel Selection
Press the
C
button to switch the display between the remote sensors 1 through 8
temperature and humidity, and scroll mode
. In scroll mode, all of the detected outdoor sensors
will be displayed in five second intervals.
4.4
Temperature Units of Measure
The default temperature units of measure are degrees Fahrenheit. To toggle between degrees Celsius
and degrees Fahrenheit, press and hold the
MIN/MAX
button for 3 seconds.
4.5
Sensor Search Mode
If any of the sensor communication is lost, dashes (--.-) will be displayed on the screen. To reacquire
the signal:
1.
If a specific channel is lost, press the
C
button to display this channel, then Press
and hold the
C
button for 3 seconds, and the remote search icon
will be
constantly displayed for up to 10 minutes. Once the signal is reacquired, the remote search
icon
will turn off, and the current values will be displayed.
2.
If new sensors are added, subtracted, or multiple sensor channels are lost, Press and hold the
C
button for 5 seconds, and the remote search icon
will be constantly
displayed for up to 10 minutes. Once the signal is reacquired, the remote search icon
will turn off, and the current values will be displayed.

Best Practices for Wireless Communication
Wireless communication is susceptible to interference, distance, walls and metal barriers. We
recommend the following best practices for trouble free wireless communication.
1.
Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI)
. Keep the console several feet away from computer
monitors and TVs.
2.
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
If you have other 433 MHz devices and
communication is intermittent, try turning off these other devices for troubleshooting
purposes. You may need to relocate the transmitters or receivers to avoid intermittent
communication.
3.
Line of Sight Rating.
This device is rated at 300 feet line of sight (no interference, barriers or
walls) but typically you will get 100 feet maximum under most real-world installations,
which include passing through barriers or walls.
4.
Metal Barriers.
Radio frequency will not pass through metal barriers such as aluminum
siding. If you have metal siding, align the remote and console through a window to get a clear
line of sight.

Adjustment or Calibration
Note:
The calibrated value can only be adjusted on the console. The remote sensor(s) always
displays the un-calibrated or measured value.
Note:
The measured humidity range is between 10 and 99%. Humidity cannot be accurately
measured outside of this range. Thus, the humidity cannot be calibrated below 10% or above 99%.
The purpose of calibration is to fine tune or correct for any sensor error associated with the devices
margin of error. The measurement can be adjusted from the console to calibrate to a known source.
Calibration is only useful if you have a known calibrated source you can compare it against, and is
