PLACE TRANSMITTER OUTSIDE: For optimum 433MHz transmission, place the outdoor
transmitter a distance of no more than 200 feet (60 meters, open air) from the Wireless
Thermometer.
•
See the section on mounting and distance/resistance/interference for details on
mounting the outdoor transmitter.
Outdoor Temperature Transmitter
Compatible Outdoor Transmitters
•
A TX141-B outdoor transmitter comes packaged with this Wireless Thermometer.
•
The TX141-B and TX141-A (433MHz) transmitters are compatible with this Wireless
Thermometer.
Outdoor Temperature Signal Strength
•
The Wireless Thermometer will search for the outdoor temperature transmitter for 3
minutes.
•
The antenna symbol will flash during reception, and temperature display will be dashes
“---“.
•
If synchronization fails once, the antenna will lose one bar.
•
If synchronization fails twice, the antenna will lose two bars.
•
If RF (radio frequency) reception fails five times, the antenna symbol will show without
bars.
•
The antenna will show full display with successful RF (radio frequency) reception.
Dashes shown for Outdoor Temperature
•
Dashes mean the connection is lost between the Wireless Thermometer and the
outdoor transmitter.
•
Batteries often resolve the connection.
•
Distance/Resistance can cause loss of connection between the transmitter and the
Wireless Thermometer.
•
Reorientation of the Wireless Thermometer 90 degrees towards the outdoor
transmitter may provide better reception. This allows more antenna surface to face the
transmitter signal.
•
Try the factory restart .
Power requirements
•
2-AA batteries power the outdoor transmitter.
•
We recommend alkaline batteries for the transmitter.
•
You may choose to use lithium batteries for temperatures below - 20°F/-28.8°C.
