Power Adaptor:
a special transmitter adaptor is available to supply power to the transmitter rather than using
batteries. It is a perfect solution for your HWS during extremely cold temperatures in the winter months when
batteries may cause problems. Please call 1-800-387-8520 for ordering information.
Once the batteries have been inserted in the transmitter,
8. Move the slide switch to the “SET ID” position. If the monitor is receiving transmissions properly from the
transmitter, a transmission ID number will appear in the centre of the compass rose (e.g. 206, 300, etc.).
WAIT
until “IO” stops flashing at the top left side of the LCD
(See diagram B).
9. Push the SET button to store the transmission ID. The main unit will automatically go to normal display mode.
10.
Move the “slide switch” on the transmitter to the “NORMAL” position.
11. Replace the battery cover and the rain cover.
IMPORTANT:
After setting up the transmission ID, you cannot remove the wind sensor plug or move the slide
switch to SET ID position again, otherwise the weather station will not function properly. IF you have performed
this operation, you must remove ALL power sources to the home monitor and thermometer-transmitter, and start
from step one of Section B: Connecting the Sensors.
Battery Installation
Home Monitor Back-Up Power
1. Remove the battery cover found on the back of the home monitor.
2. Insert 3 x AA batteries according to the correct polarity.
3. Replace the battery cover.
If the batteries are already inserted to perform the SET ID, just plug-in the AC adaptor, as per step 2 of “using the
AC adaptor” above.
D. Changing the transmitter batteries
1. Press and hold the "DISPLAY" button until the LCD exits normal display mode, and "IO" begins to flash in the top
left corner.
2. Follow steps 5 – 12 in the “Powering up your HWS (for the first time)” section above.
NOTE:
• At any time, you can exit the transmission ID setting mode by pushing the "DISPLAY" button, however, the ID will
NOT be stored and NO weather information will be communicated between the outdoor transmitter and home
monitor.
• Once the slide switch on the transmitter is in the NORMAL position, it will not generate a new ID even if the
switch is placed in the SET ID position. Therefore, if you want to change the ID, you must remove the batteries
from the transmitter, and start from step 1 of “Changing the transmitter batteries” section.
6. WIRELESS TRANSMISSION
The HWS utilizes a transmitter, which broadcasts at 433mHz approximately every 128 seconds to conserve battery
life. Like a cell phone signal, the transmission strength is affected by many external objects that cause
electromagnetic interference. Proximity to power and electrical appliances adversely affect the signal. Therefore,
we strongly advise that you experiment with the placement of both the transmitter and the home monitor. If the
conditions are good, you will be able to transmit at the maximum range of 60 meters, but if you are in an area with
a lot of interference, the range will be less (View "Mounting Home Monitor" on page 5).
Once the unit is powered up correctly, the thermometer-transmitter will start to send weather information to the
Home Monitor.
