distance/resistance/interference 

for details on 

mounting the outdoor sensor. 

 

Outdoor Temperature Sensor 

 

Compatible Outdoor Sensors 

 

 

The TX141-Bv3outdoor sensor comes packaged with this temperature station.  

 

The TX141-B (all versions) (433MHz) are compatible with this temperature station.  

 

Quick Connect 

 

Explanation: Use the quick connect for a temperature station and outdoor sensor that 

have been working but lost connection due to interference or low batteries. This is not a 

thorough factory reset. 

 

1.

 

Bring the outdoor sensor and temperature station together inside and place the units 

5-10 feet apart with nothing between them.  

2.

 

Hold the SENSOR button on the temperature station. The outdoor temperature area 

will flash. 

3.

 

Remove battery cover from the outdoor sensor and press and release the TX button 

to send the signal. 

4.

 

Wait for 2 minutes for the outdoor temperature to appear on the temperature station. 

 

 

Factory Restart: 

If the above procedure does not work, please try the factory reset. 

 

Outdoor Temperature Signal Strength 

 

 

If sensor loses connection to the weather station for any reason, the weather station will show 

NO after 30 minutes. 

 

The weather station will search for 3 minutes every hour to reconnect with sensor. 

 

Hold the SENSOR button 3 seconds to search for the outdoor sensor. 

 

Reception Icon will flash while searching for sensor. Outdoor sensor area will show dashes 

during the search. 

 

When sensor is received the icon will be solid. 

 

If no sensor received, the icon will disappear after 3 minutes of searching if sensor is not found. 

NO will again show in the outdoor sensor area.     

 

Dashes show for Outdoor Temperature 

 

Explanation: Dashes mean the connection is lost between the temperature station and 

the outdoor sensor.   

 

 

Batteries

 often resolve the connection. 

 

Distance/Resistance 

can cause loss of connection between the outdoor sensor and 

the temperature station.  

 

Turn the temperature station 90 degrees towards the outdoor sensor to provide better 

reception. This allows more antenna surface to face the outdoor sensor signal.  

 

Try th

quick connect 

or 

factory restart.
