REMOTE SENSOR (THN132N)

For best results:

• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.

• Do not place the sensor more than 30 meters (100

feet) 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.

Model: RMR382A

USER MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting the Oregon ScientiﬁcTM Wireless Indoor / Outdoor Thermometer with Self-Setting Atomic Clock. The main unit can support up to 3 sensors. To purchase additional sensors, please contact your local retailer.

NOTE Please keep this manual handy as you use your new product. It contains practical step-by-step instructions, as well as technical speciﬁcations and warnings you should know about.

• 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 signiﬁcant 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

GETTING STARTED

POWER

Insert batteries before ﬁrst use, matching the polarity (+ and -).

NOTE Install batteries in the remote sensor before the main unit. Press RESET after each battery change. Do not use rechargeable batteries. We recommend that you use alkaline batteries with this product for longer usage and lithium batteries in temperatures below freezing.

REMOTE SENSOR

The sensor collects temperature readings approx. every 40 seconds and sends them to the main unit. The main unit can collect data from up to 3 sensors.

To set up the sensor:

1. Slide open the battery door.

2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarity (+ / -).

To search for a sensor:

Simultaneously, press and hold MEM and CHANNEL for 2 seconds.

NOTE If the sensor is still not found, check the batteries, obstructions, and remote unit location.

CLOCK

CLOCK RECEPTION

This product is designed to synchronize its date and time automatically once it is within range of the WWVB-60 signal from the atomic clock in Fort Collins, Colorado.

The clock collects the radio signals whenever it is within 3218 km (2000 miles) of a signal.

NOTE Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes for ﬁrst set up or when RESET is pressed. Once complete, the reception icon will stop blinking. If the signal is weak, it can take up to 24 hours to get a valid signal.

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.
