Frequently Asked Questions - WS8472 VELLEMAN

How to pair the thermometer and sensor?

Place the sensor about 2 m from the receiver. Remove the batteries from the receiver, wait 30 seconds, then reinsert them. The receiver automatically searches for sensors. If using multiple sensors, ensure each sensor has a different channel via the DIP switches. Do not press any button during the search.

What to do if the screen shows no values?

Check that the batteries are installed correctly and are sufficiently charged. If the signal is lost, move the sensor closer to the receiver or remove metal obstacles. You can also reset the pairing by removing the receiver's batteries for 30 seconds.

How to calibrate the temperature?

Press CHANNEL to select the sensor to calibrate. Hold ADJUST for 5 seconds until the temperature flashes. Use CHANNEL or MIN/MAX to adjust the value. Press ADJUST once to revert to the initial value or hold it to exit calibration.

How to calibrate the humidity?

Press CHANNEL to select the sensor. Hold ADJUST and MIN/MAX simultaneously for 5 seconds until the humidity flashes. Adjust the value with CHANNEL or MIN/MAX. Press ADJUST once to reset or hold it to exit.

Why do indoor and outdoor temperatures differ?

Wait about 30 minutes after installation for the devices to stabilize. If the difference persists, check that the sensor is placed in the shade and sheltered. You can also calibrate the sensor as described in the manual.

How to change the temperature unit (Celsius/Fahrenheit)?

Hold the MIN/MAX button for 3 seconds to toggle between °C and °F. The selected unit is displayed on the screen.

How to display min/max values?

First select the sensor with CHANNEL, then press MIN/MAX to toggle between normal display and display of recorded minimum and maximum values.

What does the comfort icon mean?

The comfort icon indicates the humidity level: dry (RH < 45%), comfortable (RH between 45% and 65%), or humid (RH > 65%). It is based on the measured humidity.

How to clean the device?

Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior. Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, or strong detergents. Avoid moisture entering the device.

What batteries to use and how to replace them?

Use AAA 1.5 V batteries (LR03C). The receiver requires 4 batteries, the sensor 2 batteries. Respect the polarity indicated in the compartment. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not recharge alkaline batteries.

6. Batteries

Open the battery compartment of the sensor and thermo-/hygrometer.

Before inserting the batteries, assign a channel to each sensor and choose the temperature unit through the DIP switches. Install the necessary AAA batteries according to the indicated polarity.

Only then can you install the batteries in the thermo-/hygrometer according to the indicated polarity.

Close the battery compartments.

Warning: Do not puncture batteries or throw them in fire as they may explode. Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries (alkaline). Dispose of batteries in accordance with local regulations. Keep batteries away from children.

8. Pairing the Thermo-/Hygrometer with the Sensor

8.1 Pairing

1. Move the sensor about 2 ~m away from the thermo-/hygrometer. If you are using more than one sensor, make sure they are all powered up and transmitting on a different channel.

WS8472

1. Remove the batteries from the thermo-/hygrometer, wait 30 seconds and insert them back into the thermo-/hygrometer.
2. The thermo-/hygrometer will automatically search and pair with the transmitting sensors.

BINCH WET

The thermo-/hygrometer is in search mode.

1. If you are using more than one sensor, the thermo-/hygrometer will automatically toggle between sensors until all sensors have reported in. Do not touch any buttons as long as the search mode is activated.

8.2 Verification

Verify that the indoor and outdoor values on the thermo-/hygrometer and the sensors match within 10 %. Allow about 30 minutes for the thermo-/hygrometer and the sensors to stabilize.

If the values do not match closely, proceed to the calibration of the devices.

8.3 Calibration

Calibration is only useful if you can compare the values against a known calibrated source.

Humidity Calibration

1. Press CHANNEL to select the sensor you wish to calibrate.
2. Press and hold both ADJUST and MIN/MAX for 5 seconds. The humidity value blinks.
3. Increase or decrease the value with CHANNEL or MIN/MAX.
4. Press ADJUST once to go back to the start value; press and hold ADJUST to exit the calibration function.

Temperature Calibration

1. Press CHANNEL to select the sensor you wish to calibrate.
2. Press and hold ADJUST for 5 seconds. The temperature value blinks.
3. Increase or decrease the value with CHANNEL or MIN/MAX.
4. Press ADJUST once to go back to the start value; press and hold ADJUST to exit the calibration function.

9.5 Min/Max Mode

This mode displays the recorded minimum and maximum temperature and humidity values.

1. Select the sensor with CHANNEL.
2. Press MIN/MAX to toggle between the normal display, the minimum and the maximum values.

10. Guidelines for Wireless Devices

Wireless communication is susceptible to interference, distance, walls and metal barriers.

Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI)

Keep the thermo-/hygrometer away from monitors, computers, etc.

Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)

Keep the thermo-/hygrometer away from other devices using the 433 MHz frequency.

Line of Sight

The thermo-/hygrometer has a range of 100 m (no interference, barriers or walls). Considering all obstacles, the range will be about 30 m.

Metal Barriers

Radio waves will not pass through metal such as aluminium. Consider all metal barriers when installing the sensors.

11. Troubleshooting

The thermo-/hygrometer does not display any value.

• The signal has been lost or is not yet found. Pair the thermo-/hygrometer with the sensors.
• The signal cannot reach the thermo-/hygrometer. Remove all obstacles between the devices or reduce the distance between them.
• The batteries are exhausted. Replace the batteries in the thermo-/hygrometer and/or the sensors.

The indoor and outdoor temperatures do not match.

• The thermo-/hygrometer and/or the sensors are not stabilized yet. Allow 30 minutes for the devices to optimize data transmission.
• The thermo-/hygrometer is not calibrated. Refer to chapter 8.3 Calibration.

12. Cleaning and Maintenance

The thermo-/hygrometer does not need any particular maintenance.

However, occasionally wipe it with a damp cloth to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents.
