Introduction
Thank you for selecting the Five Channel Remote Thermo-hygrometer. This product
measures an air temperature and relative humidity and can be used with the Honeywell
Professional Weather Station TE923W.
In this package you will find:
One Five-Channel Remote Thermo-hygrometer (transmitter) (TS34C)
One User Manual
Standard Package Contents
Picture Components
Thermo Hygrometer Sensor
Installation
All data measured by this remote sensor is transmitted to the main unit wirelessly, with
the operating range up to 328 feet (100 meters) in the open area.
Remote thermo-hygrometers (temperature & humidity sensors) can be placed indoors or
outdoors, depending on the area where the temperature and humidity are intended to be
measured. If you intend measuring outdoor temperature and humidity, place the remote
sensor outdoors.
Note: It is critical to power up and test communication between the remote sensor and the
main unit BEFORE permanently mounting them outside.
Before you begin
•We recommend using alkaline batteries for the remote thermo-hygrometer when
temperatures are above 32°F (0°C) and lithium batteries when temperatures are
below 32°F (0°C).
•Avoid using rechargeable batteries. (Rechargeable batteries cannot maintain
correct power requirements).
•Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity in the battery compartment
•Remove protective plastic screen from LCD display (if any).
•During an initial setup, place the main unit close to the remote sensor.
•After reception is established (the remote readings will appear on the main unit’s
display), position the remote sensor and the main unit within the effective

4
transmission range of up to 328 feet (100 meters). Ideally they should be placed
within the line of sight of the main unit.
•Transmission range may be affected by trees, metal structures and electronic
appliances.
•The effective operating range may be influenced by the surrounding building
materials and how the receiver (main unit) and transmitters (weather sensors)
are positioned.
•Place the remote thermo-hygrometer so that it faces the main unit (receiver),
minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls and furniture.
Note: When the temperature falls below freezing, the batteries in the outdoor
remote thermo-hygrometers may have reduced voltage supply and a shorter
effective range. We recommend using lithium batteries at temperatures of 32°F (0°C)
and below.
Features
•LCD display of measured temperature and humidity
•Five (5) transmission channels selection
•Case can be wall mounted using built-in hanger
A. LED INDICATOR
•Flashes once when the remote sensor transmits a reading to the main unit.
•Flashes twice when battery power is low.
B. BATTERY COMPARTMENT
Holds two AA-size batteries
C. RESET
Resets all readings
D. CHANNEL SWITCH
Selects the desired channel from 1 to 5
E. WALL-MOUNT RECESSED OPENING
Keeps the remote sensor on the wall
Note: Install the batteries and select the channel before mounting the sensor.

Battery installation
•Remove the screws from the battery compartment with a small Phillips
screwdriver.
•Set the channel 1 through 5. The switch is located in the battery
compartment. Channel 1 is typically selected if only one remote
thermo-hygrometer is being used.
•Install 2 “AA” size alkaline batteries (not included) matching the polarities
shown in the battery compartment.
•Replace the battery compartment door and secure the screws.
•Secure the remote thermo-hygrometer in the desired location.
Mounting
•The remote thermo-hygrometer can be placed on the flat surface or mounted on
the wall in vertical position
•Use the wall mount hardware and screws provided when mounting the remote
thermo-hygrometer on the wall
Placement tips:
•The remote thermo-hygrometer should be placed in the area with a free air
circulation and sheltered from the direct sunlight and an extreme weather
conditions.
•Ideally, place the remote thermo-hygrometer above the natural surfaces (such as
a grassy lawn).
•Avoid placing the remote thermo-hygrometer near sources of heat such as
chimneys and heating elements.
•Avoid any areas collecting and radiating a heat from the sun, such as metal,
brick or concrete structures, paving, patios and decks.
•The international standard for the valid air temperature measurements is 4 feet
(1.25meters) above the ground.
Note: To display the readings from the remote thermo-hygrometer you must own the
main display unit of the Honeywell Professional Weather Station TE923W, model
number TE923WD.Additionally it will work with all other Honeywell weather station
models.
Troubleshooting
Q: “The remote sensor display shows dashes “---”
A: Press RESET opening with a paper clip or similar tool.
If this does not work, check the batteries and replace them.
Q: “Main unit display in temperature and humidity portion shows dashes “---“

6
A: The display will show “- - -” when the wireless connection with the remote
thermo-hygrometer is lost for 15 minutes
Check or replace the batteries in remote sensor. Then press and hold DOWN button on
the main unit to enforce a search for the remote signals.
If this does not work, check the wireless transmission path from the remote
thermo-hygrometer to the main unit and change their locations if necessary.
The following may be the cause of reception problems:
•The remote thermo-hygrometer and a main unit are too far from each other.
•The signal shielding materials, such as metal surfaces, concrete walls or dense
vegetation, are in the path of transmission.
•There is interference from the wireless devices (such as cordless phones, radio
headsets and baby listening devices) and electronic appliances.
Precautions
This product is engineered to give you years of satisfactory service if handled carefully.
Here are a few precautions:
•Do not immerse the units in water.
•Do not clean the units with abrasive or corrosive materials. They may scratch
the plastic parts and corrode the electronic circuits.
•Do not subject the product to excessive force, shock, dust, temperature, or
humidity, which may result in malfunctions, shorter lifespan, damaged batteries,
and damaged parts.
•Do not tamper with the product’s internal components. Doing so will invalidate
the warranty and may cause damage. The product contains no user-serviceable
parts.
•Use only fresh batteries. Do not mix new and old batteries.
•Read the user's manual thoroughly before operating the product.
