Frequently Asked Questions - RAR501 OREGON SCIENTIFIC

How to install batteries in the main unit?

Remove the battery compartment cover on the back. Insert 4 UM-4 (AAA) 1.5 V batteries respecting polarities. Press RESET after each battery change.

How to synchronize wireless sensors?

After inserting batteries in the sensor and selecting a channel (1, 2 or 3) using the selector, press RESET. The main unit automatically searches for the sensor within 30 minutes. If synchronization fails, reset both devices.

What does the mold alert icon mean?

The mold alert icon flashes when relative humidity is 60% or higher, indicating a high risk of mold formation. It stops flashing when humidity drops below 60%.

How to change temperature unit (Celsius/Fahrenheit)?

Using a pencil or fine object, press the °C / °F button located on the back of the main unit to switch between degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit.

What to do if the display shows 'LL.L' or 'HH.H'?

The codes LL.L (temperature) and HH.H (temperature) mean the measurement is below or above the measurement range. Check that the sensor is within a valid temperature range: -20°C to 60°C for sensors, -5°C to 50°C for the main unit.

How to reset the device?

Use a fine object (pencil, paperclip) to press the RESET button located on the back of the main unit or on the sensor. This restores default settings.

What is the maximum range of the sensors?

The transmission range is 30 meters (100 feet) in an unobstructed environment. Obstacles such as walls, doors, and furniture can reduce this range.

How to know if batteries are low?

The low battery icon appears in the area of the main unit or wireless sensor. Replace batteries with new ones and press RESET.

Can I add more than 3 sensors?

No, the device supports up to 3 sensors maximum (channels 1, 2, 3). Additional sensors will not be recognized.

How to interpret weather forecast icons?

The icons display forecasts for the next 12 to 24 hours within a 30-50 km radius: sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, rainy, or snowy. Refer to the legend in the manual.

SENSOR

This product can work with up to 3 sensors at any one time to capture temperature and relative humidity readings in various locations around the home.

A complete set of 3 sensors are provided in this package, while replacement wireless remote sensors can be purchased separately.

THGR122N

This sensor conveniently displays the temperature / humidity which makes it especially suited for locations where you would like to see this data at a glance without having to refer each time to the main unit, such as children's room.

GETTING STARTED

REMOTE SENSOR INSTALLATION

1. Step applicable only to THGR122N:

Using a Philips screwdriver, open the battery compartment cover.

1. Slide channel switch to select channel 1. Ensure you use a different channel for the other sensors (2,3).
2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarities.
3. Press RESET after each battery change.
4. Replace the battery compartment cover.

MAIN UNIT INSTALLATION

1. Remove the battery compartment.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarities.
3. Press RESET after each battery change.

The battery icon may appear in the following areas:

AREA MEANING
Main unit environment area	Main unit batteries low
Remote sensor environment area	Remote sensor batteries low

NOTE

We recommend that you use alkaline batteries with this product for longer usage and lithium batteries in temperatures below freezing.
- Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine or fire.

SYNCHRONISING AND PLACING SENSORS

The main unit will automatically search for new sensor reset within the last 30 minutes. If unit failed to synchronise with remote sensor, reset both the main unit and sensor or try selecting a different channel (and press RESET).

The remote sensor reception icons will show the following status:

ICONS MEANING
→	Main unit is searching for sensor(s)
→→→→→	A sensor has been found and logged on
and “--.”	No sensor found

Place the remote sensor within 30m (98 ft) from the main unit.

TIP

• When placing sensors, remember the intended location for each sensor. Refer to channel switch position (1, 2, 3) and match with channel icon displayed directly above name tag.
  The transmission range may vary depending on many factors. You may need to experiment with various locations to get the best results.

For best results:

• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.

• Position the sensor so that it faces the main unit, minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls and furniture.

• Place the sensor in a location with a clear view to the sky, away from metallic / electronic objects.

NAME TAGS

Name tags can be inserted in the main unit (see front view diagram).

There are 3 blank name tags provided in this package. You can write on the blank tags the name of the locations where the sensors are being installed.

WEATHER FORECAST

This product forecasts the next 12 to 24 hours of weather forecast within a 30 - 50km (19-31 mile) radius.
