CH/+

  button  to  switch  the  display  between  remote  sensors  1  through  8,  and  scroll  mode 

. In scroll mode, all of detected outdoor sensors will be displayed in five second intervals. 

5.4 Sensor Search Mode 

If  any  of  the  remote  sensor  communication  is  lost,  dashes  (--.-)  will  be  displayed  on  the  screen.  To 
reacquire the signal: 

1.

 

If a specific channel is lost, press the 

CH/+

 button to display this channel, then Press and hold 

the 

CH/+

 button for 

3

 seconds, and the remote search icon 

  will be constantly displayed 

for up to 3 minutes. Once the signal is reacquired, the remote search icon 

  will turn off, 

and the current values will be displayed. 

2.

 

If new sensors are added, subtracted, or multiple sensor channels are lost, press and hold the 

CH/+

  button  for 

5

  seconds  (on  any  channel),  and  the  remote  search  icon 

  will  be 

constantly  displayed  for  up  to  10  minutes.  Once  the  signal  is  reacquired,  the  remote  search 

icon 

  will turn off, and the current values will be displayed. 

5.5 Best Practices for Wireless Communication 

Wireless  communication  is  susceptible  to  interference,  distance,  walls  and  metal  barriers.  We 
recommend the following best practices for trouble free wireless communication. 

1.

 

Electro-Magnetic  Interference  (EMI)

.  Keep  the  console  several  feet  away  from  computer 

monitors and TVs. 

2.

 

Radio  Frequency  Interference  (RFI).

  If  you  have  other  433  MHz  devices  and 

communication  is  intermittent,  try  turning  off  these  other  devices  for  troubleshooting 
purposes.  You  may  need  to  relocate  the  transmitters  or  receivers  to  avoid  intermittent 
communication. 

3.

 

Line of Sight Rating.

 This device is rated at 300 feet line of sight (no interference, barriers or 

walls)  but  typically  you  will  get  100  feet  maximum  under  most  real-world  installations, 
which include passing through barriers or walls. 

4.

 

Metal  Barriers.

  Radio  frequency  will  not  pass  through  metal  barriers  such  as  aluminum 

siding. If you have metal siding, align the remote and console through a window to get a clear 
line of sight.
