Outdoor Temperature Sensor
Compatible Outdoor Sensors
The TX141-v2 outdoor sensor comes packaged with this projection alarm.
All versions of the TX141 (433MHz) outdoor sensors (no A or B) are compatible with this
projection alarm.
Quick Connect
Explanation:
The quick connect is used for a projection alarm 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 projection alarm together inside and place the units 5-10
feet apart with nothing between them.
2.
Hold the
+/TEMP
button on the projection alarm. 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 projection alarm.
If the above procedure does not work, please try the factory reset.
Batteries
Explanation:
Many problems are resolved with fresh batteries of the appropriate voltage.
Many items sent in under warranty work when tested with fresh batteries. Batteries
manufactured this year will have an expiration date 10 years (or more) in the future. Battery
technology has improved and batteries will maintain voltage longer in storage. However,
the environment the batteries reside in for the 10 years can deplete the power.
Use Alkaline or Lithium batteries in the
outdoor sensors
.
A minimum voltage of 1.48V for each battery is necessary for proper performance.
Use batteries dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries dated
earlier than six years from now may still work, but may be unstable in performance.
Good name brand batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF (radio
frequency) interference from the battery compartment.
Power Requirements
2-AA
We recommend Alkaline batteries for the outdoor sensor.
You may choose to use Lithium batteries for temperatures below -20°F/-28.8°C.
