REMOTE SENSOR (THGR122NX)
This product is shipped with a THGR122NX Thermo /
Hygro Sensor that collects Temperature and Humidity
data. Data can be collected from up to 3 sensors.
Additional sensors sold separately.
SETUP SENSOR
1. Open the remote sensor battery compartment with a
small Phillips screwdriver.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarity (+ and -) as
shown in the battery compartment.
SWITCH OPTION
Channel Channel 1-3. If you are using more than
one sensor, select a different channel for
each sensor.
GETTING STARTED
BATTERIES
Batteries are supplied with this product:
Main unit 3 x UM-3 (AA) 1.5V batteries
Remote unit 2 x UM-4 (AAA) 1.5V batteries
Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity
(+ and -) as shown in the battery compartment. For best
results, install batteries in the remote sensor before the
main unit. Press RESET after each battery change.
NOTE Do not use rechargeable batteries.

3. Set the channel. The switch is located in the battery
compartment.
4. Place the sensor near the main unit. Press RESET
on the sensor. Then, press and hold MEM and
CHANNEL on the main unit to initiate signal sending
between the sensor and the main unit. The reception
icon on the main unit will blink for approximately 3
minutes while it is searching for the sensor. (Refer to
the"DataTransmission"section formore information.)
5. Close the remote sensor battery compartment.
6. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the
wall mount or table stand.
For best results:
• Insert the batteries and select the channel before
you mount the sensor.
• Placethe sensorout ofdirect sunlightand moisture.
• Do not place the sensor more than 30 metres (98
feet) from the main (indoor) unit.
• Position the sensor so that it faces the main
(indoor) unit, minimizing obstructions such as
doors, walls, and furniture.
• Place the sensor in a location with a clear view to
the sky, away from metallic or electronic objects.
• Position the sensor close to the main unit during
coldwinter monthsas below-freezingtemperatures
may affect battery performance and signal
transmission.
You may need to experiment with various locations to
get the best results.
DATA TRANSMISSION
Data is sent from the sensor(s) every 40 seconds. The
reception icon shown in the Temperature and Humidity
Areas show the status.
SEARCH FOR SENSOR
To search for a sensor, press and hold MEM and
CHANNEL (on the main unit) for 2 seconds.
NOTE If the sensor is still not found, check the batteries,
obstructions, and remote unit location.
NOTESignals fromhouseholddevices suchas doorbells,
electronic garage doors, and home security systems
may cause temporary reception failure. This is normal
and does not affect general product performance. The
reception will resume once the interference ends.
CLOCK
The clock automatically synchronizes the current time
and date when it is brought within range of the radio
signal DCF77 generated from Frankfurt, Germany for
CentralEurope(modelBAR628HG)or MSF60generated
from Anthorn, England (model BAR628HGU).
NOTE The signals are collected by the main unit when
it is within 1500 km (932 miles) of a signal.
Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes, and is initiated when
you first setup the unit, and whenever you press RESET.
Once complete, the reception icon will stop blinking. The
icon is shown in the Clock Area.
To force a manual search for clock signals, press and
hold for 2 seconds. If no signal is found, check the
batteries.
