To set up the sensor:
1. Slide open the battery door.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarity (+ / -).
Press
RESET
after each battery change
.
3. Select a channel. Make sure you use a different
channel for each sensor.
4. Close the battery compartment.
5. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the
wall mount or table stand.
For best results:
• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and
moisture.
• Do not place the sensor more than 30 m (100 ft) from
the main (indoor) unit.
• Position the sensor so that it faces the main (indoor)
unit, minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls,
and furniture.
• Place the sensor in a location with a clear view to
the sky, away from metallic or electronic objects.
• Position the sensor close to the main unit during
cold winter months as below-freezing temperatures
may affect battery performance and signal
transmission.
The transmission range may vary depending on many
factors. You may need to experiment with various
locations to get the best results.
Standard Alkaline batteries contain signifi cant amounts of
water. Because of this they will freeze in low temperatures
of approximately -12°C (10°F). Disposable Lithium batteries
have a much lower threshold for temperature with an
estimated freezing range of below -30°C (-22°F).
Wireless ranges can be impacted by a variety of factors
such as extremely cold temperatures. Extreme cold
may temporarily reduce the effective range between the
sensor and the base station. If the unit’s performance
fails due to low temperature, the unit will resume proper
functioning as the temperature rises to within the normal
temperature range (i.e. no permanent damage will occur
to the unit due to low temperatures).
