IMPORTANT NOTES ON SETUP AND OPERATION

• The Thermo-Hygro Sensor should be placed in a dry area.

• The Thermo-Hygro Sensor consumes solar power and internal

rechargeable batteries.

• Fog and mist will not harm the device but direct rain must be avoided.

• The Thermo-Hygro Sensor has a range of 330 feet (100 m). Keep in mind

that the 330 feet is in open air with no obstructions and that radio waves

DO NOT curve around objects. Actual transmission range will vary

depending on what is in the path of the signal. Each obstruction (roof,

walls, floors, ceilings, thick trees, etc.) will effectively cut signal range in

half.

Example: A wireless Weather/ Temperature Station with a 330 feet (100

m) range is mounted on an interior wall, so that the signal has to pass

through one interior wall, one exterior wall, and across the 10 feet (3 m)

width of the room between the 2 walls. The first wall will reduce the range

to 165 feet (50 m), and the second wall will reduce the range to 87 feet

(26.5 m). Factoring in the 10 foot room, this leaves a maximum of 77 feet

(23.5 m) of remaining signal range.

This allowance is typically enough for a frame wall with non-metallic siding;

however certain materials can reduce range even further. Metal siding,

stucco, and some types of glass can reduce signal range by as much as ¾

or more, compared to the ½ reduction typical of most obstructions. It is

possible to receive a signal through these materials, however maximum

range will be much less due to their tendency to absorb or reflect a much

larger portion of the sensor’s signal.

• The Thermo-Hygro Sensor measures and transmits signal about every 8

seconds when its battery voltage is 2.8V or higher.

Note: If the sensor is placed in a dark environment or the battery voltage is

dropped lower than 2.8V, the signal is transmitted every 16 seconds.

• After the batteries of Temperature Station have been installed, the

Temperature Station will search for the signal of Thermo-Hygro Sensor for

duration of few minutes. If the connection process is failed, user shall make

sure the units are within range of each other, or restart the transmitter

starts up procedure again.

IDLE MODE

IDLE MODEIDLE MODE

IDLE MODE

This mode aims to reduce power consumption of the sensor. Under this mode,

the sensor turns off LCD, stops the transmission of signal, checks the battery

voltage and detects the solar cell condition. The IDLE mode happens:

• if the battery voltage is lower than 2.4V, “LO” will be displayed on the LCD

for a short while (around 2 seconds) before the sensor enters into IDLE

mode.

Note: The sensor will check and charge up the internal rechargeable battery

automatically, when it detects the battery voltage rises up to 2.5V, the LCD turns

on and the transmission of signal starts again.

STOP MODE

STOP MODE STOP MODE

STOP MODE

It is the most energy saving mode. Under this mode, the sensor turns off LCD, no

transmission of signal and no checking battery voltage. The sensor shows “StP”

on the LCD for a short while before it enters STOP mode. The STOP mode

happens:

• if the user covers the solar cell for 10 seconds and presses the reset

button.

• if the sensor is placed in the dark environment for 72 hours.

Note: To wake up the Thermo-Hygro Sensor, user has to press the reset button

on the sensor to wake it up again. If the battery voltage is higher than 2.4V, the

LCD turns on and the transmission of signal starts again. However, if the battery

voltage is lower than 2.4V, “LO” will be displayed and then the sensor enters into

IDLE mode. User should place the sensor under a bright environment to charge

up the internal rechargeable batteries.

SETTING UP

SETTING UPSETTING UP

SETTING UP

1. To start the operation, remove the transparent label covered on the Solar

Thermo-Hygro Transmitter and gently press the RESET button once by the

provided plastic reset rod.

Note: It is important to allow sufficient light to reach the solar panel while

activating the transmitter. Place the unit in a bright environment to charge

up the internal rechargeable batteries and do not cover the solar panel with

hands or other objects.

2. All segments of the LCD will light up briefly, the version number, security

code and battery voltage will be displayed sequentially. After a short while,

the instant temperature and humidity display alternatively on the

transmitter, and the transmission of signal to Temperature Station begins.

Note: The displayed battery voltage should be higher than 2.4V to maintain

the normal operation.

3. Insert batteries to the Temperature Station.

IMPORTANT! Make sure the correct polarity when inserting batteries.

4. Once the Temperature Station is powered up, all LCD segments will light

up briefly. The indoor data will be displayed first, and then the outdoor data.

In order to make sure better reception and transmission, the distance

between Solar Thermo-Hygro Transmitter and Temperature Station should

no more than 330 feet (100 meters)

Note: Avoid placing the transmitter onto or in the immediate proximity of

metal window frames. Using other electrical products such as headphones

or speakers operating on the 915MHz frequency may prevent reception of

the transmitted data.

5. If the Temperature Station does not receive signal of the Solar Thermo-

Hygro Transmitter after 5 minutes. Remove all batteries of the Temperature

Station and restart from step 1.

MOUNTING

MOUNTINGMOUNTING

MOUNTING

THE SOLAR THERMO-HYGRO TRANSMITTER

The Thermo-Hygro Sensor can be mounted onto a wall with the use of screws

MOUNTING WITH SCREWS

1. Remove the mounting bracket from the Thermo-Hygro

Sensor.

2. Place the mounting bracket over the desired location.

3. Through the two screw holes of the bracket, mark the

mounting surface with a pencil.

4. Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface.

Ensure that the screws are tight against the bracket.

5. Insert the Thermo-Hygro Sensor into the bracket.

TABLE STANDING OR OTHERS

With the mounting bracket installed at the bottom or the top of the sensor, user

can place it on any flat surface.

Note: Before permanently fixing the remote thermo-hygro sensor, place all units

in the desired locations to check that the outdoor temperature readings are

receivable. In event that the signal is not received, relocate the remote thermo-

hygro sensor or move them slightly as this may help the signal reception.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

• Extreme temperatures, vibration, and shock should be avoided to prevent

damage to the units.

• Clean displays and units with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use solvents or

scouring agents; they may mark the displays and casings.

• Do not submerge in water.

• Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and

damage.

• Opening the casings invalidates the warranty. Do not try to repair the unit.

Contact La Crosse Technology for repairs.
