6.
Match the UP arrow on the front of the blue base and the DOWN arrow on the
front of the white funnel portion.
Note: It is important to match up the arrows as the rocker is offset by the
antenna; the funnel needs to center over the rocker.
7.
Press the funnel portion onto the base until the white tabs lock back into place.
TX23T Temperature sensor:
1.
Insert 2 new AA batteries (not included) into the TX17T outdoor temperature
sensor. Observe the correct polarity.
2.
The red LED will flash during transmission.
724-1710v2 Rain Station
1.
Insert 2 new AA batteries (not included) into the 724-1710 Rain monitor.
Observe the correct polarity.
2.
Leave the rain monitor and sensors sit 5 -10 feet apart for 15 minutes to lock in
both sensors.
3.
Both the temperature and the rain sensor should appear on the rain station in
the first minute.
4.
Do not press buttons during the first 15 minutes.
5.
You can tip the rocker of the rain sensor to simulate rain and receive a reading
to the rain station.
Rain Station Factory Restart
For best results please bring the rain gauge and outdoor sensor 5 feet from the
display unit.
Remove batteries from both sensors and batteries from the display.
With the power removed, press one of the buttons on the display at least 20
times to clear all memory. Please do this even if the display is blank to remove
any random electricity. Verify the display is blank.
It is important with most of our displays to remain without power for at least 15
minutes.
NOTE: Failure to allow a display to rest for 15 minutes can result in failure to
connect with the outdoor sensors or missing segments on the display. The
instruction manual describes a setup for a new unit that has not had time to
build up residual electricity.
Please be sure you are using fresh batteries testing to a minimum of 1.48, on a
voltmeter that reads in numbers.
Place batteries into the rain sensors and outdoor sensor first. Make sure they
are installed according to the diagrams in the battery compartment.
Install batteries into the display according to the diagram in the battery
compartment.
Allow the sensors and display to remain 5 feet apart for 15 minutes to establish
a strong connection. Do not press buttons at this time. You should see a reading
on the outdoor temperature area and zeros for rainfall in the first minute.
PLACE SENSOR OUTSIDE: For optimum 915MHz transmission, place the outdoor
sensor a distance of no more than 330 feet (100 meters, open air) from the Rain
station.
See the section on mounting and distance/resistance/interference for details on
mounting the outdoor sensor.
