REMOTE SENSOR (THN122N)
This pr duct is shipped with a THN122N Therm meter
Sens r that c llects Temperature data. The main unit
can be c nnected t nly 1 rem te sens r.
SET UP SENSOR
1. Open the rem te sens r battery c mpartment with
a small Phillips screwdriver.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the p larity (+ and -)
as sh wn in the battery c mpartment.
3. Set the channel switch t any channel. The switch is
l cated in the battery c mpartment.
4. Place the sens r near the main unit. Press RESET
n the sens r. Then, press and h ld SEARCH n
the main unit t initiate signal sending between the
sens r and the main unit. The recepti n ic n n the
main unit will blink f r appr ximately 3 minutes while
it is searching f r the sens r. (Refer t the Data
Transmissi n secti n f r m re inf rmati n.)
5. Cl se the rem te sens r battery c mpartment.
6. Secure the sens r in the desired l cati n using the
wall m unt r table stand.

F r best results:
• Insert the batteries and bef re y u m unt the
sens r.
• Place the sens r ut f direct sunlight and
m isture.
• D n t place the sens r m re than 98 feet (30
meters) fr m the main (ind r) unit.
• P siti n the sens r s that it faces the main
(ind r) unit, minimizing bstructi ns such as
d rs, walls, and furniture.
• Place the sens r in a l cati n with a clear view
t the sky, away fr m metallic r electr nic
bjects.
• P siti n the sens r cl se t the main unit during
c ld winter m nths as bel w-freezing
temperatures may affect battery perf rmance and
signal transmissi n.
Y u may need t experiment with vari us l cati ns t
get the best results.
Standard Alkaline batteries c ntain significant am unts
f water. Because f this they will freeze in l w
temperatures f appr ximately 10°F. Disp sable Lithium
batteries have a much l wer thresh ld f r temperature
with an estimated freezing range f bel w -40°F. The
Liquid Crystal Display in utd r therm meters will
remain perati nal t -20°F with adequate p wer.
Wireless ranges can be impacted by a variety f fact rs
such as extremely c ld temperatures. Extreme c ld may
temp rarily reduce the effective range between the
sens r and the base stati n. If the unit's perf rmance
fails due t l w temperature, the unit will resume pr per
functi ning as the temperature rises t within the n rmal
temperature range (i.e. n permanent damage will ccur
t the unit due t l w temperatures).
DATA TRANSMISSION
Data is sent fr m the sens r every 40 sec nds. The
