Introduction Thank you for selecting a Meade Instruments 5-channel thermo-hygro sensor! Meade Instruments is the world’s leading designer and manufacturer of telescopes for professional and amateur astronomers – famous for its innovative, high performance telescopes at affordable prices. Meade Instruments now brings that same passion innovation and high performance to its own line of precision, feature rich weather stations.
Note: It is critical to power up and test communication between the remote sensor and the main unit BEFORE permanently mounting them outside. Before you begin • We recommend using alkaline batteries for the remote thermo-hygrometer when temperatures are above 32ºF (0ºC) and lithium batteries when temperatures are below 32ºF (0ºC). • Avoid using rechargeable batteries. (Rechargeable batteries cannot maintain correct power requirements).
Features • LCD display of measured temperature and humidity • Five (5) transmission channels selection • Case can be wall mounted using built-in hanger E 1 A C D B WIRELESS THERMO HYGRO A. LED INDICATOR • Flashes once when the remote sensor transmits a reading to the main unit. • Flashes twice when battery power is low. B. BATTERY COMPARTMENT Holds two AA-size batteries C. RESET Resets all readings D. CHANNEL SWITCH Selects the desired channel from 1 to 5 E.
Battery installation • Remove the screws from the battery compartment with a small Phillips screwdriver. • Set the channel 1 through 5. The switch is located in the battery compartment. Channel 1 is typically selected if only one remote thermo-hygrometer is being used. • Install 2 "AA" size alkaline batteries (not included) matching the polarities shown in the battery compartment. • Replace the battery compartment door and secure the screws. • Secure the remote thermo-hygrometer in the desired location.
Troubleshooting Q: "The remote sensor display shows dashes "---"" A: Press the RESET opening with a paper clip or similar tool. If this does not work, check the batteries and replace them. Q: "Main unit display in temperature and humidity portion shows dashes "---"" A: The display will show "- - -" when the wireless connection with the remote thermo-hygrometer is lost for 15 minutes Check or replace the batteries in remote sensor.
