Remote Temperature Sensor 

Compatible Remote sensors 

 

 

The TX191 remote sensor comes packaged with this atomic clock.  

 

The TX191 (433MHz) remote sensor is compatible with this atomic clock.  

 

Power Requirements 

 

 

2-AA

 batteries 

power the remote sensor.  

 

2-AA

 batteries 

power the clock.  

 

We recommend Alkaline batteries for the remote sensor. 

 

You may choose to use Lithium batteries for temperatures below -20°F/-28.8°C. 

 

Quick Connect 

 

Explanation: Use the quick connect for an atomic clock and remote sensor that 

have been working but lost connection due to interference or low batteries. This is 

not the same as a thorough factory reset. 

 

1.

 

Bring the remote sensor and atomic clock together inside, and place the units 

5-10 feet apart with nothing between them.  

2.

 

Hold the MINUS button for 5 seconds. The remote temperature area will flash. 

3.

 

Wait for 2 minutes for the remote temperature to appear on the atomic clock. 

 

 

Factory Restart: 

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

reset. 

 

Remote Temperature Signal Strength 

 

Explanation: The atomic clock will search for the remote temperature remote 

sensor for 3 minutes after batteries are installed or when the MINUS button is held 

for 3 seconds. 

 

 

The antenna symbol will flash during reception. 

 

The 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 show for Remote Temperature 

 

Explanation: Dashes mean the connection is lost between the atomic clock and 

the remote sensor.   

 

 

Batteries 

often resolve the connection. 

 

Distance/Resistance 

can cause loss of connection between the remote sensor 

and the atomic clock.
