BACK LIGHT:
The LED back-light is automatically switched ON when any keys are pressed. The back-light will be switched on for
approximately
2
seconds before automatically switching OFF. However, if "IN" or "OUT" key is pressed and held down,
then LED back-light will remain ON constantly until the key is released.
TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER:
The temperature is measured and transmitted to the Temperature Station approximately every 60 seconds.
The range of the Temperature Transmitter may be affected by the temperature. At cold temperatures the transmitting
distance may be decreased. Please bear this in mind when positioning the transmitter. Also the batteries may be
reduced in power.
433MHz RECEPTION CHECK:
The Temperature station will receive the temperature data within 15 minutes. If the temperature data i s not being
received 15 minutes after setting up (the display shows "- - -"), then please check the following points:
1.
The distance of the Temperature Station or transmitter should be at least 1.5 to 2 meters away from any
interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.
2.
Avoid placing the receiver onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window frames.
3.
Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same signal frequency
(433MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception.
4.
Neighbours using electrical devices operating on the 433MHz signal frequency can also cause interference.
Note:
When the 433MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the transmitter or Temperature
Station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then
reset all units (see Setting up above) otherwise transmission problems may occur.
The transmission range is around 25m from the transmitter to the Temperature station (in open space). However, this
depends on the surrounding environment and interference levels. If no reception is possible despite the observation of
these factors, all system units have to be reset (see Setting up).
POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE STATION:
The Temperature station comes attached with a removable table stand, which provides the option of
table standing or wall mounting the unit. Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor
temperature(s) can be received from the desired location(s). To wall mount:
1.
Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the head extended out the by about
5mm.
2.
Remove the stand from the Temperature station by pulling it away from the base and hang the
station onto the screw. Remember to ensure that it locks into place before releasing.
POSITIONING THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
The Temperature Transmitter is supplied with a holder that may be attached to a wall with the three
screws supplied. To attach to the wall, please follow the steps below:
1.
Mark the wall using a pen through the holes in the holder to obtain the exact drilling position.
2.
Drill holes in the wall at the points marked.
3.
Screw holder onto wall.
There is also double sided tape included with the wall mount. On smooth surfaces this can be used
instead of drilling holes. The mounting surface can, however, affect the transmission range. If for
example the unit is attached to a piece of metal, it may then either reduce or increase the
transmitting range. For this reason, we recommend not placing the unit on any metal surfaces or in any position where a
large metal or highly polished surface is in the immediate proximity (garage doors, double glazing, etc.). Before securing
in place, please ensure that the Temperature Station can receive the 433MHz signal from the Temperature Transmitter
at the positions that you wish to situate them. The Temperature Transmitter simply clicks in or out of the holder. When
inserting or removing the Temperature Transmitter to or from the wall holder please hold both units securely.
