American Marine PINPOINT User manual

American Marine is proud to introduce the PINPOINT™ Wireless
Thermometer. Utilizing a radio wave signal, the remote sensor(s) will
measure the temperature at the waterproof probe tip and send the
information to the PINPOINT Temperature Display Monitor, which will
display the temperature in Fº or Cº degrees. The PINPOINT Wireless
Thermometer can accept a maximum of 4 remote sensors thus
expanding the monitoring capability to 4 separate locations to be
displayed on the same PINPOINT Temperature Display Monitor.
NOTE: The PINPOINT Wireless Display Meter is NOT waterproof and
must be operated on a dry surface. Liquid contact with any of the printed
circuit boards will cause corrosion and void warranty.
•Set-up For a Single Remote Sensor
1)Remove the battery compartment cover (Figure A) on the back of the
PINPOINT Temperature Display Meter and insert 2 AAA batteries in the
proper positions. Replace the cover.
2)On the front of the PINPOINT Temperature Display Meter, slide the
top switch (Figure B) to the ON position then select to display either Fº or
Cº with the middle switch (Figure C). When you see three minus signs
flashing the meter is ready to receive a temperature signal.
3)On the back of the Remote Sensor carefully pry off the pop up stand
(Figure E). Using the supplied screwdriver, remove the 4 philips head
screws (Figure G) and lift off the battery cover. Insert 2 AAA batteries in
the proper positions. Re-install the battery cover.
The Remote Sensor will automatically send a signal to the display meter
within 1 minute. The PINPOINT Temperature Display Meter will display
the temperature of the #1 sensor. Remote sensors can transmit
temperature signal as far as 100 feet (30 Meters) in optimum conditions.
Transmitting distances through walls and other obstacles may reduce the
effective range.
•Using Additional Remote Sensors
After the successful installation of Remote Sensor #1, you may now
install additional remote sensors up to a maximum of 4, if desired. You
can place another sensor to monitor heat inside your lighting, on the
ballast or even put a sensor outside. On the back of Remote Sensor #2
carefully pry off the pop up stand (Figure E). Using the supplied
screwdriver, remove the 4 philips head screws (Figure G) and lift off the
battery cover. Insert 2 AAA batteries in the proper positions. Re-install
the battery cover. Within 1 minute Remote Sensor #2 will automatically
send a signal to the display meter and will be recorded as the #2 remote
sensor. This process can be repeated for up to 4 remote sensors.
•Display a Single Temperature Sensor or
•Scroll Function will Display all the Temperature Sensors
By pressing the remote sensor button (Figure D) on the front of the
PINPOINT Display Meter, you may display any one of the remote
sensors or have the display cycle through all available remote sensors.
Each time you press the Sensor Select button, the display will move to
the next available remote sensor. Its corresponding number will be
shown on the left side of the display. Once you reach the last available
sensor, the Scroll Function Indicator (Fig. J) will be shown and the
display meter will begin to cycle through all available sensors.

Important Points to Remember
•PINPOINT Wireless Thermometer utilizes a remote sensor with a waterproof probe. This device has been fully
tested and is in full compliance of FCC Part 15 Standards. FCC ID #Z9Z687000
•PINPOINT Display Monitor is NOT waterproof and must be operated on a dry surface. The PINOINT Remote
Sensor is weather resistant but must not be submerged under water. Liquid contact with any of the printed circuit
boards will cause corrosion and void the warranty.
•The PINPOINT Remote Sensor has a small red light on the front label that will blink only when the sensor is
transmitting a temperature signal.
•When the PINPOINT Display Meter receives a temperature signal from the Remote Sensor, the tower icon (Fig.
H) will blink on the LCD.
•Check the function of the sensor(s) occasionally by applying heat or cold to the sensor probe tip to observe that
communication is maintained between the remote sensor and the display meter.
•When the batteries are replaced in the PINPOINT Display Monitor, or if the Display Monitor is turned off,the
remote sensor(s) should be re-registered.
•When --- Fº appears on the display or if the temperature on the display is frozen; not reacting to a change in
temperature, this indicates that the remote signal has been lost perhaps due to distance, etc. Re-register this
sensor by pressing the sensor select button (Figure D) until the --- begins to flash. Then remove the batteries
from the remote sensor and reinstall the batteries to reregister the sensor.
•Display Range: -50 Cº to +70 Cº, -58 Fº to +158 Fº Resolution: 0.1 Cº, 0.2 Fº
Replace batteries in the PINPOINT Temperature Display Meter when the LCD display appears dim,
approximately 18 months. Replace batteries in the Remote Sensor when the battery icon on the LCD display
(Fig. I) appears empty, approximately 18 months.
