LED Figure 1 2. BEFORE inserting the batteries, locate the dip switches on the inside cover of the lid of the transmitter. Figure 2 displays all four switches in the OFF position (factory default setting). Figure 2 3. Channel Number: The WS-07 supports up to eight transmitters. To set each channel number (the default is Channel 1), change Dip Switches 1, 2 and 3, as referenced in Table 1. 4. Temperature Units of Measure: To change the transmitter display units of measure (°F vs.

5. Insert two AAA batteries. 6. After inserting the batteries, the remote sensor LED indicator will light for 4 seconds, and then flash once per 60 seconds thereafter. Each time it flashes, the sensor is transmitting data. 7. Verify the correct channel number (CH) and temperature units of measure (°F vs. °C) are on the display, as shown in Figure 3. 1 2 3 4 Figure 3 (1) temperature (2) temperature units (°F vs. °C) (3) channel number (4) relative humidity 8. Close the battery door.

Figure 4 All of the LCD segments will light up for a few seconds to verify all segments are operating properly. 3. Replace the battery door, and fold out the desk stand and place the console in the upright position. The console will instantly display indoor temperature and humidity as icon. The remote temperature and humidity will update on designated by the the display within a few minutes on the appropriate channel. While in the search mode, the remote search icon will be constantly displayed.

temperature readings. Although the sensor is water resistant, it is best to mount in a well protected area, such as under an eve. Use a screw or nail (not included) to affix the remote sensor to the wall, as shown in Figure 6. Figure 6 4. Display Features 4.1 Comfort Icon The comfort icon is based on humidity ranges specified in Figure 7 . The icon is displayed for indoor humidity, remote channel 1 humidity and optional remote channels 2 through 8 humidity.

5.1 Min/Max Mode The Min/Max mode displays the minimum and maximum temperature and humidity (since reset of the unit) for the indoor, remote channel 1 through 8 sensors. Prior to entering the MIN/MAX mode, press the CHANNEL/+ button to select the temperature and humidity values you wish to view. 1. Display Maximum. Press the MIN/MAX button once to display the maximum. The MAX icon will be displayed. 2. Clear Maximum.

5.5 Best Practices for Wireless Communication Wireless communication is susceptible to interference, distance, walls and metal barriers. We recommend the following best practices for trouble free wireless communication. 1. Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI). Keep the console several feet away from computer monitors and TVs. 2. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). If you have other 433 MHz devices and communication is intermittent, try turning off these other devices for troubleshooting purposes.

5.6.1 Humidity Calibration Prior to entering the calibration mode, press the CHANNEL/+ button to select the humidity sensor you wish to adjust. To enter the humidity calibration mode, press and hold the ADJUST and MIN/MAX buttons at the same time for 5 seconds and the humidity value will begin flashing. Press the CHANNEL/+ button to increase the humidity and the MIN/MAX/- button to decrease the humidity reading in 1% increments.
PAGE 11
To return the temperature to the actual or uncalibrated measurement, press the ADJUST button. Once the displayed temperature equals the calibrated source, press and hold the ADJUST button for three seconds, or wait 15 seconds for timeout, and the temperature value will stop flashing. Discussion: Temperature errors can occur when a sensor is placed too close to a heat source (such as a building structure, the ground or trees).

Problem Solution There are dashes (--.-) on the display console. If the sensor assembly is too close (less than 5'), move the sensor assembly away from the display console. Make sure the remote sensor LCD display is working and the transmitter light is flashing once per 60 seconds. Install a fresh set of batteries in the remote thermohygrometer. For cold weather environments, install lithium batteries.
