Preparing the Temperature Station

The illustration below shows the Sensor Interface Module, or “SIM”, 
inside the shelter.
Insert the 3-volt lithium battery into the battery holder, matching the “+” 
sign on the battery with the “+” sign on the SIM.

Note: 

Note the location of the DIP switches. You will work with them during the next installation step. 
The Temperature Probe Cable is installed and mounted with the cable clamp at the factory. 

Setting the Transmitter ID

Each wireless transmitting station must be set to one of eight transmitter 
IDs. DIP switches #1, 2 and 3 on the SIM allow you to control the ID — 
the “channel” the station transmits on. (DIP switch #4 is used for 
transmission testing, not for transmitter ID.)
