Chaney Instrument model 00737 wireless weather forecasting station and remote sensor Manual Do Utilizador

Acu-Rite instruments are designed to provide accurate and reliable
measurements.  Before setting up the weather station, please read
these instructions thoroughly.

Included with this wireless weather station kit are batteries (2 AA, 2
AAA), wall mounting supplies, the LCD display (main unit), the
remote wireless sensor (sensor unit) and a sensor probe.
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.

 

The main unit and sensor “communicate” using a built-in
random security code.  The main unit will automatically “learn”
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
channels 2 and 3.

 

The sensor can transmit up to 100 feet without outside
interference (e.g. metal surfaces, electrical devices, etc).

 

The sensor unit has a waterproof case.  The 10 ft. detachable
probe can be submerged to measure the temperature in
ponds, aquariums, etc.

Note:  When remote temperatures reach -12°F/-24°C or lower,
bring sensor unit(s) indoors and measure temperature by placing
the detachable probe out a window.   Extremely cold weather can
freeze the batteries and LCD panel, causing malfunctions.

Temperature Ranges:
Main unit:  

   

  32° F-122° F/0° C-50° C

Sensor unit: 

 

  -58 F-158° F/-50° C-70° C

1.  Place batteries in the main unit by removing the battery cover

panel on the back of the unit and inserting 2 AA 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 display 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.

 

If additional sensors are present, the auto scroll feature will
display each channel’s temperature for 5 seconds.  To activate
auto scroll, press the 

 button until the      icon appears on the

LCD display.

 

If the temperature changes more than 1 degree in an hour, 1 of
3 temperature trend icons will appear, indicating steady, falling,
and rising temperatures.

              Steady            Falling  

  Rising

It is important to calibrate the weather forecaster to the
existing outdoor conditions for proper performance.  

 Hold 

the + button on the back of the unit for 3 seconds.  The

weather icon will begin flashing.

 

Select the existing weather condition by pressing the - button
on the back of the unit.  Press the + button to confirm the
setting.

Sunny

                      Cloudy

                           Partly Sunny

 

The weather forecaster will automatically read the atmospheric
pressure and predict the weather conditions for the next 12
hours; this is based on calculations only and may not be
representative of conditions.   After initial set-up, the unit may
need 12-24 hours to read atmospheric pressure.

 

Pressure trend icons indicate steady, falling, or rising pressure.
The pressure trend indicator will refresh every hour.  The arrow
shown indicates:

              Steady            Falling  

  Rising

 

The cloud and rain icon will flash when the sensor detects
stormy conditions.

 

The sun (indicating daytime) will change to the moon and stars
(indicating nighttime) after 9:10 pm (21:10).  The nighttime
indicator will remain until 5:10 am (05:10), at which time the
daytime indicator returns.

             Rainy

 

            Stormy
