INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Wireless Weather Station with Sensor
Model 00737
A
cu-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
A
AA), wall mounting supplies, the LCD display (main unit), the
remote wireless sensor (sensor unit) and a sensor probe.
A
dditional 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:
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.
Sensor unit:
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
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 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.
Auto Scroll:
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.
Temperature Trend Indicator:
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
WEATHER FORECASTER SET-UP:
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 Indicator:
Pressure trend icons indicate steady, falling, or rising pressure.
The pressure trend indicator will refresh every hour. The arrow
shown indicates:
Steady Falling Rising
Storm Alert:
The cloud and rain icon will flash when the sensor detects
stormy conditions.
Day/Night Icon:
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

TIME:
Clock and Calendar Setting:
Hold the CLK/CAL button on the back of the main unit for 3
seconds to enter the clock setting mode. Use the +or -
buttons on the back of the main unit to adjust settings. Press
the set button to confirm each setting. The settings will be in
the following sequence:
12/24 hour mode
Hour and minute settings
Hour offset allows the time to be set ahead (to maintain correct
time, keep at 0)
Year, day and month.
Alarm Setting:
Hold the clear button for 3 seconds. Press + or -to enter the
desired hour. Press clear again and use the + or -to enter the
desired minutes. Press clear again to confirm the time for the
alarm.
A bell icon will appear in the time panel to show that the alarm
is set. To view the time the alarm is set for, press the clear
button. The alarm time will display for 5 seconds and then
switch back to normal clock mode.
When alarm goes off, the alarm will sound for 1 minute. Each
time you press the snooze button the alarm will “snooze” for
ten minutes, and then sound again.
To turn the alarm and snooze alarm off, press the +button.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
The main unit may display “---“ if outside interference is
occurring. Typically, the main unit will “reconnect” to the
remote sensor on its own. If it doesn’t, try bringing the sensor
closer to the main unit. If the problem continues possible
reasons include:
A. Low batteries.
B. The sensor has been placed outside of the effective
transmission range (more than 100 feet) and needs to be
relocated.
C. Sensor 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.
The weather forecasting feature relies on barometric trend
changes for its forecasts, which produces results that are
accurate 70-80% of the time. The weather forecasting feature
predicts conditions up to 12 hours in advance. If the
forecasting icon is not updating according to the weather,
recalibrate the main unit (see initial set-up procedures).
