AcuRite 00734 Thermometer - Manual

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Wireless Thermometer with Sensor
Model 00734
Acu-Rite instruments are designed to provide accurate and reliable
measurements. Before setting up the thermometer, please read
these instructions thoroughly.
Included with this wireless thermometer kit are wall mounting
supplies, the LCD display (main unit) and the remote wireless
sensor (sensor unit). Additional sensors can be purchased at
www.chaneyinstrument.com.
Both the main unit and the sensor unit can be displayed on a
desktop or hung on a wall. For desktop display pull out the foldable
stand located on the back of the unit. To hang on a wall, slide the
hanging slot located at the top center of the unit over a nail or
screw (not provided) in the wall .
Main unit:
ß
The main unit and sensor ìcommunicateî using a built-in
random security code. The main unit will automatically ìlearnî
the random code of the sensor unit and assign this sensor to
Channel 1. Up to two more sensor units can be purchased
separately (model 00739). If additional sensors are purchased
the main unit will automatically assign these sensors to open
channels.
Sensor unit:
ß
The sensor can transmit up to 100 feet without outside
interference (e.g. metal surfaces, electrical devices, etc)
ß The sensor unit case is waterproof.
ß Extremely cold weather (temperatures below -12 ∞F/-24∞C.) can
freeze the batteries, causing malfunctions.
Temperature Ranges:
Main unit:
32 ∞ F-122∞ F/0∞ C-50∞ C
Sensor unit: -58 F-158 ∞ F/-50∞ C-70∞ C
THERMOMETER SET-UP:
1. Place batteries in the main unit by removing the battery cover
panel on the back of the unit and inserting 2 AAA alkaline
batteries.
2. Insert 2 AAA alkaline batteries into the sensor unit. Note: The
battery panel is located behind the foldable stand/ mounting
plate, which can be gently pried from the back of the unit. A
small screwdriver is required to open the battery panel.
Before replacing the battery cover press the reset or the Tx
button to send a signal to the main unit.
3. On the main unit, select between Celsius and Fahrenheit
temperature readings by pressing the + C/F button.
4. To add an additional sensor make sure batteries are in the
main unit first, then place batteries in the additional sensor and
press the reset or Tx button. The main unit automatically
searches for an open channel to register the signal for the new
sensor.
Low Battery Indicator:
The low battery indicator will appear on the LCD displays of both
the main and sensor units. To replace the batteries, follow the set-
up procedure above.
The main unit and the sensor unit have an average battery life of 6
months, depending on usage. Note: Alkaline batteries are
recommended.
Auto Scroll:
ß
If additional sensors are present, the auto scroll feature will
display each channelís temperature for 5 seconds. To activate
auto scroll, press the
- button until the icon appears on the
LCD display.
MIN/MAX/MEMORY:
The main unit automatically stores the high and low temperature.
ß Pressing the max/min button will display the maximum
temperature for 5 seconds. Press the button again to display
the minimum temperature for 5 seconds.
ß To clear the stored max/min temperatures, press the clear
button while the value you wish to clear (max or min) is
displayed.
TEMPERATURE ALERT:
Minimum and maximum temperature alerts can be programmed.
To turn the feature on or off, press the alert button located at the
back of the unit. When the Icon is displayed this feature is on.
Setting Cycle:
ß
To set the temperature at which the alert will sound, press the
alert button for 3 seconds until the outdoor temperature and
the upper/lower icon flash. Press the + or - button to select the
desired channel; press the alert button to confirm the channel
selection.
ß The upper pointer and temperature will begin to flash. Enter
the desired upper limit temperature by pressing the +/- buttons;
press alert to confirm.
ß The lower pointer and temperature will begin to flash. Enter
the desired lower limit temperature with the +/- buttons; press
alert to confirm and exit the temperature alert mode.
ß When the temperature reaches either the upper or lower limit,
the pointers and the temperature begin to flash and an alarm
will sound. Press any key to stop the alarm. The temperature
will continue to flash until the temperature changes from the
upper or lower limit temperature.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
ß At times, the main unit may display м---м in the remote
temperature screen if outside interference is occurring. Most
of the time the unit will re-sync the signal on itís own.
However, if this should continue to occur, the following may
also be the reason:
A. Low battery indicator(s).
B. The sensor has been placed outside of the effective
transmission range (more than 100 feet). Move the
sensor closer to the main unit.
C. Sensor units may have outside interference that is
preventing proper transmission. Sources of interference
include but are not limited to metal surfaces, electrical
devices, etc. The sensor may need to be relocated if
interference continues.
