Chaney Instrument L5C0964TX instruction manual Step ONE Setting UP the Wireless Thermometer

STEP ONE: SETTING UP THE WIRELESS THERMOMETER

Home Receiver Set Up:

For the initial installation, always insert batteries to the home unit first and then the remote sensor. Remove the battery cover on the back and install 2 "AA alkaline or lithium batteries" (not included) according to the polarity indicated. Replace the battery cover. The home unit will start to search for a sensor transmitting outdoor temperature & humidity information during the first 5 minutes after entering the existing weather condition. To enter the existing weather conditions select the correct weather condition by pressing "MIN/MAX" and press "CLEAR" to enter. The home unit will try to seek for a remote sensor after the weather conditions are entered.

The outdoor temperature and humidity section will flash during channel registration. If you press the CH key it will disable the registration mode and go to radio controlled clock reception mode.

Remote Sensor Set Up:

Remove the bracket stand and remove the 4 screws with a small Philips head screwdriver. Insert 2 "AAA" alkaline or lithium batteries (not included) according to the polarity indicated. Set Channel 1 for the first remote sensor. You must set to Ch 1 if only one sensor is in use. One sensor is included with the base unit. Additional sensors may be purchased separately. Set channel 2 if using a second sensor or channel 3 if using a third sensor.

•To verify transmission of a signal press the TX button inside the battery compartment of the remote sensor. The red LED on the front of the remote sensor will flash when it successfully transmits a signal. Temperature and humidity of the remote sensor will be updated and displayed on the remote sensor.

•Select Celsius or Fahrenheit by pressing the C/F button inside the battery compartment.

•Replace the cover and tighten the 4 screws.

•When replacing the batteries in the remote sensor remember to clear the corresponding channel on the home receiver unit in this way: Select the respective channel by pressing the CH button, hold the CH button 3 seconds to clear the channel.

Placement of Remote Sensor:

Place the remote sensor out of direct sunlight and direct exposure to rain or snow. At extremely low temperatures, below 15F, battery voltage output decreases. The low temperatures may cause your outdoor temperature reading to go blank. Using lithium batteries can increase the effective temperature range as they function at lower temperatures than alkaline batteries. For prolonged periods of extreme cold we recommend the remote sensor be brought indoors. Metal structures, walls and electrical interference can shorten the transmission range of the remote sensor. Please try several locations to determine the best reception of the signal by the home unit.

STEP TWO: SETTING THE ATOMIC CLOCK

About The Atomic Clock:

The National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) in Fort Collins, Colorado broadcasts the time signal (WWVB at 60kHz AM radio signal) with an accuracy of one second per every 3,000 years. The signal covers a distance up to 2,000 miles from the source.

Selecting the Ideal Location:

Like a typical AM radio, the Atomic Clock will not receive the WWVB signal in places surrounded by heavy concrete or metal panels. For best reception, please install the home receiver near a window. The time signal reception is also greatly affected by electrical or electronic interference. If the home receiver location you selected does not work, change to a location in another part of the room or building.
