RD65 Remote Display User’s Manual
Thank you for purchasing the RD series remote display. Please read all operating instructions
carefully before use and keep the following points in mind:
* Avoid using in condition of excess variation of line voltage.
* Do not operate near high-power electronic device. These devices emit RF and can cause unstable
readings.
* Ensure the communication data format, protocol, interface selection and setup is correct
before using.

4.2 Installation of suspending way
4.2.1 Install the remote display through a suspender or suspended wire
1) Put a suspender into the rings or put a burly wire through the rings to hang the remote
display; and be careful not to drop the Remote Display.
2) Loosen the locknut, adjust the display window angle and fasten the locknut, and be
careful: don¡t let the lock nut be removed fully during the installation
Fig.10
4.2.2 Install the remote display onto the wall
1) Push two expansion bolts into the wall
2) Screw self tapping screws into expansion bolts and keep 5mm to 8mm out of the wall.
3) Loosen the locknut, move away two hanging-rings, hang the remote display onto self
tapping screws; adjust the display window angle and fasten the locknut.
4) Be careful: don’t let the lock nut be removed fully during the installation

1) Err01：no communication
2) Err02：incorrect format data received.
3) Err03： over displaying range
4) ¯¯¯¯¯ ：over range
5) ______：below range
6 Trouble shooting
Problem Possible cause Check
No display 1）fuse damaged
2）adaptor damaged
Replace fuse or adaptor
Display too dark 1） Low voltage
2） Inner part damaged
Check the input voltage and
replace the damaged part or
main PCB
Err01
(no communication)
1) RD65 data format is different from the host
2) Communication cable is not connected
correctly.
Check cable and the data
format setup
Err02
( in-
correct format
data received)
1)Format switch is not set correctly.
2)Host is not set correctly.
3)unknown host or data format used on host
device
Check whether the protocol
is matched between RD65
and Host.
