Frequently Asked Questions - 30.3143.IT TFA

How do I set up the transmitter with the temperature station?

Insert batteries into the transmitter first, then within 30 seconds insert batteries into the temperature station. The station will automatically receive the signal. If using a probe, ensure it is plugged in.

What should I do if no outdoor temperature is displayed?

Check that the transmitter is within 100 meters of the station, away from interfering sources like TV sets or metal frames. Remove batteries from both units, wait 60 seconds, and repeat the setup.

How to replace batteries in the transmitter?

Open the battery compartment, insert 2 new AAA batteries with correct polarity, and close the cover. After battery change, reset all units by following the setup procedure.

What is the maximum transmission range?

The maximum range is 100 meters in open area. Obstacles and interference can reduce the range.

Can I use multiple transmitters with one station?

Yes, up to two transmitters can be used. Follow the special setup sequence: after setting the first transmitter, insert the second transmitter batteries within 20 seconds. The station will display channels 1, 2, and 3.

How do I wall mount the transmitter?

Use the supplied bracket and screws. Attach the bracket to the wall, then clip the transmitter onto it. Ensure the location is sheltered from direct rain and sun.

What does 'OF.L' mean on the display?

OF.L indicates the temperature is outside the measuring range of -39.9°C to +39.9°C (or -39.8°F to +139.8°F).

How to clean and maintain the transmitter?

Clean the casing and display with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents. Do not submerge in water. Remove low batteries to prevent leakage.

Why is the external probe not showing on channel 2?

Ensure the probe is properly plugged into the transmitter. If unplugged, the station shows '-' on channel 2. The transmitter automatically detects the probe; no reset needed.

Is the transmitter waterproof?

The transmitter has a shower proof casing, meaning it is protected from water splashes but should not be submerged. Avoid direct rain and prolonged exposure to moisture.

868MHz Outdoor Temperature Transmitter for use with the Temperature Station

Congratulations on purchasing this optional 868MHz Outdoor Temperature Transmitter with LCD Display for use with the Temperature Station. Please read the following information to ensure that this transmitter works correctly.

Outdoor dual channel Temperature Transmitter

Features of the Outdoor dual channel Temperature Transmitter*:

• Remote transmission of outdoor data to Temperature Station by 868 MHz

• Dual channel transmitter*: one internal channel and one optional probe channel

• Shower proof casing

• Wall mountable or table standing

• Mounting at a sheltered place. Avoid direct rain and sunshine

\* DUAL CHANNEL TRANSMITTER -

There is an internal channel and an external probe channel in the transmitter. The data measured by the internal sensor and the measuring probe will be shown on the transmitter's display as Channel "1" and "2" respectively. The two readings will be automatically toggled to display. However, if the probe is unplugged, the transmitter's display will only show the reading from the inner transmitter.

Once the transmitter is successfully recognized by the temperature station, Channel 1 of the Temperature station will display the temperature data measured by internal sensor and Channel 2 will display the temperature estimated by the probe.

If the measuring probe is unplugged, the "probe channel" on Temperature station will show "--", yet the data from the internal transmitter will still be shown on Channel 1. The probe can be connected to the remote temperature transmitter anytime after initial setup. There is no need to reset the units, should the probe be unplugged or re-plugged again. The Temperature Station will automatically detect the temperature probe data and will display the temperature data on Channel 2 after the probe is plugged.

SETTING UP:

When one transmitter is used:

1. First, insert the batteries into the transmitter (see "Install and replace batteries in the Temperature transmitter" below).

2. Within 30 seconds of powering up the transmitter, insert the batteries to the Temperature Station. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Then the indoor temperature and the time as 0:00 will be displayed on the temperature station. If they are not shown on 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 Temperature Station will start receiving data signal from the transmitter.
4. If the optional probe has been plugged to the dual channel transmitter, the outdoor temperature should then be displayed on the Temperature Station on channel 1 and 2. Also, the signal reception icon will be displayed. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.

Note:

Channel 1 will show the reading from the internal sensor of the dual channel transmitter; Channel 2 will show the reading sensed by the probe. If the probe is not plugged to the transmitter, "-" will be shown on Channel 2.

In order to ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission, the final position between the Temperature Station and the transmitter should not be more than 100 meters (see notes on "Positioning" and "868 MHz Reception").

When two transmitters are used

1. User shall remove all the batteries from the Temperature Station and transmitters and wait 60 seconds (if setting has been done with one transmitter before).

2. Insert the batteries into the first transmitter.

3. Within 30 seconds of powering up the first transmitter, insert the batteries into the Temperature Station. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Then the indoor temperature and the time as 0:00 will be displayed on the temperature station. If they are not shown on the LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them.

4. The outdoor temperature readings from the first transmitter (Channel 1 and 2) should then be displayed on the Temperature Station (if probe sensor has been installed onto the first transmitter). If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.

5. Insert the batteries into the second transmitter as soon as the outdoor temperatures from the first transmitter are displayed on the Temperature Station.

Note: User must insert the batteries into the second transmitter within 20 seconds of reception of the first transmitter.

1. The outdoor temperature reading from the second transmitter will be shown on the LCD and the Channel No. will shift back to "1", indicating that all three channels are running successfully. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from all the units and reset from step 1.

Note: After the Temperature Station has successfully received the second transmitter, Channel 3 will display the data measured by the internal sensor of the second dual channel transmitter. Yet the probe data from the second transmitter will not be displayed on the Temperature Station.

IMPORTANT:

Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional transmitters is not followed as described above. Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to remove the batteries from all units and follow the set-up from step 1.

INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER

The Temperature Transmitter uses 2 x AAA, IEC LR3, 1.5V battery. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:

1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see marking).
3. Replace the battery cover on the unit.

Note:

In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following the settling up procedures. This is because a random security code is assigned by the transmitter at start-up and this code must be received and stored by the Temperature Station in the first 3 minutes of power being supplied to it.

BATTERY CHANGE:

It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units regularly to ensure optimum accuracy of these units (Battery life see Specifications below).

Please participate in the preservation of the environment. Return used batteries to an authorized depot.

868MHz Signal Reception

If the outdoor temperature is not received within three minutes after setting up, the display will show “- - - °C” on the outdoor temperature section of the receiver, please check the following points:
1. Distance transmitters at least 2 meters away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.
2. Avoid placing the temperature transmitter onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window frames
3. Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the 868MHz frequency may prevent reception of the transmitted data. Interference can also be caused by neighbours using similar electrical devices.

POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER:

The transmitter is supplied with a holder that may be attached to a wall with the two screws supplied. The transmitter can also be position on a flat surface by securing the stand to the bottom to the transmitter.

To wall mount:

1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and plastic anchors.
2. Clip the transmitter onto the bracket.

Note:

Before permanently fixing the transmitter wall base, place all units in the desired locations to check that the outdoor temperature reading is receivable. In event that the signal is not received, relocate the

transmitters or move them slightly as this may help the signal reception.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should be avoided as these may cause damage to the unit and give inaccurate forecasts and readings.
- When cleaning the display and casings, use a soft damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or scouring agents as they may mark the LCD and casings.
• Do not submerge the unit in water.
- Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Replace only with new batteries of the recommended type.
- Do not make any repair attempts to the unit. Return them to their original point of purchase for repair by a qualified engineer. Opening and tampering with the unit may invalidate their guarantee.
