La Crosse Technology Outdoor Temperature/Humidity Sensor TX7U - Manual (Page 2)

Note: Outdoor temperature/humidity sensors will not usually read the
same temperature. This is due to variants such as drafts and handling.
This is normal.
3.
Observe the correct polarity and install 2 AA alkaline batteries in
each unit in sequential order. The batteries will fit tightly—make
sure they do not spring free. This may cause start-up problems.
4. Replace the battery cover, screw and mounting bracket.
5. Observing the correct polarity, install batteries into the indoor
display station (refer to the indoor display station’s manual).
Replace battery cover.
6. Wait 15 minutes or until both indoor and outdoor temperature and
humidity are shown on the LCD of the indoor display station.
7. Refer to indoor display station’s instruction manual for more
specific details.
II. MOUNTING
Note: Obstacles such as walls, concrete, and large metal objects can
reduce the effective range of the temperature/humidity sensor. Before
permanently mounting, place units in their desired location to see if a
reading is obtained. There should be a change of temperature in the
OUTDOOR LCD within 6 minutes. If the indoor display station loses
the signal from the outdoor temperature/humidity sensor, it will display
the last temperature reading for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes of not
receiving any signals the OUTDOOR LCD of the indoor display station
will display “- -. –”.
The outdoor temperature/humidity sensor can be mounted in three
ways:
• with the use of screws
•
using the adhesive tape
•
using the mounting bracket as a stand
A.
MOUNTING WITH THE SCREWS
1. Remove the mounting bracket from the outdoor
temperature/humidity sensor.
2. Place mounting bracket over desired location. Through
the 3 screw holes of the bracket, mark the mounting
surface with a pencil.
3. Where marked, drill holes into mounting surface using
an appropriate size drill bit.
4. Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface.
Ensure that the screws are flush with the bracket.
