USER’S MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the EMR812 Multi-Channel
In-Out Thermometer with 433MHz cable free sensor.
The EMR812 is an easy-to-use, state-of-the-art thermometer. The
basic package comes with a main unit, which is the temperature
station, and a remote unit, the thermo sensor.
The main unit has extra-large read-outs for indoors temperature
and for that collected and transmitted by the remote unit. The main
unit can support up to three remote units.
The main unit is capable of monitoring temperature changes of
remote sites. By setting the upper and lower temperature limits the
alarm will activate when those limits are exceeded. Also, the maxi-
mum and minimum temperature of different sites can also be
retrieved quickly.
No wire installation is required between the main and remote units.
As the EMR812 operates at 433MHz, it can be used in the U.S. and
most places in Continental Europe.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
For best operation,
1. Assign different channels to different remote units.
2. Insert batteries for remote units before doing so for the main unit.
3. Initially place both units close together. This will ensure
synchronization between the remote unit and the main unit.
Then, install batteries for the main unit or reset the main unit.
4. Position the remote unit and main unit within effective
transmission range, which, in usual circumstances, is 30 meters.
Note : Building materials and where the main and remote units are
positioned can vastly affect effective range. Try various set-ups for
best result.
Though the remote units are weather proof, they should be
placed away from direct sunlight, rain or snow.
BATTERY AND CHANNEL
INSTALLATION: REMOTE UNIT
The remote thermo-hygro sensor unit uses two (2) UM-3 or “AA”
size batteries.
Follow these steps to install / replace batteries:
1. Remove the screws on the battery compartment.
2. Select the channel number on the [CHANNEL] slide switch.
3. Select the temperature display unit on the °C/°F slide switch.

section“BEFOREYOUBEGIN”)
Note that once a channel is assigned to a remote unit, you can only
change it by removing the batteries or resetting the unit.
BATTERY INSTALLATION: MAIN UNIT
The main unit uses two UM3 or "AA" size alkaline batteries.
To install them,
1. Slide open the battery compartment door.
2. Insert the batteries strictly according to the polarities shown therein.
3. Replace the battery compartment door.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
Replace the batteries when the low-battery indicator of the indoor
temperature display lights up. (Repeat the steps described in
section"BEFOREYOUBEGIN")
Respectively, for a remote sensor unit, the low-battery icon will
show when the channel is selected.
GETTING STARTED
Once batteries are in place for the remote units, they will start
transmitting temperature readings at 30-second intervals.
The main unit will also start searching for signals for about a
minute once batteries are installed. Upon successful reception, the
individual channel temperatures will be displayed on the top line
and the indoors temperature on the bottom line. The main unit will
automatically update its readings at about 30-second intervals.

simultaneously to enforce another search for about 30 seconds.
This is useful in synchronizing the transmission and reception of
the remote and main units.
Repeat this step whenever you find discrepancies between the
reading shown on the main unit and that on the respective remote
unit.
HOW TO CHECK REMOTE AND
INDOORS TEMPERATURES
The indoors temperature is shown on the bottom line of the
display.
Asfortheremotesitesorchannels,pressCHANNELtogofromone

goes blank “ ”, press CHANNEL and MEM to enforce an
immediate search. If this fails, check the following.
1. The remote unit of that channel is still in place.
2. The batteries of both the remote unit and main unit and replace
as necessary.
Note : When the temperature falls befow freezing point, the
batteries of outdoor units will freeze, lowering their voltage
supply and the effective range.
3. Thetransmissionis withinrangeandthe pathisclearof obstacles

TEMPERATURE TREND
The temperature trend indicator on the screen shows the trend of
readings collected at that particular remote site. Three trends,
rising, steady and falling, will be shown.
If the temperature goes above or below than the temperature meas-
uring range of the main unit or the remote unit ( stated in specifi-
cation), the display will show “HHH” or “LLL”.
