The remote sensor(s) always displays the un-calibrated or measured value. The purpose of calibration is to fine tune or correct for any sensor error associated with the devices margin of error. The measurement can be adjusted from the console to calibrate to a known source.

To calibrate temperature, we recommend a mercury or red spirit (fluid) thermometer. Bi-metal (dial) and other digital thermometers are not a good source and have their own margin of error. Using a local weather station in your area is also a poor source due to changes in location, timing (airport weather stations are only updated once per hour) and possible calibration errors (many official weather stations are not properly installed and calibrated).

The maximum line of sight communication range is 300’ and 100’ under most conditions. Move the sensor assembly closer to 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.
