LATALM001 - Temperature and Humidity Wireless Alert System.
(TX60U-IT Wireless 915 MHz Temperature and Humidity Sensor)
TX60U-IT sensor measures:
(A) Ambient air temperature and humidity (Channel 1)
(B) Probe temperature (Channel 2): Use the included 6 Ft. detachable waterproof temperature probe
to measure water, soil, or even the conditions inside of a refrigerator or aquarium. The TX60U-IT
sensor sends the collected outdoor temperature and humidity measurements to the Gateway with a
wireless range over 200 Ft. (60.96 m). The Gateway uses your high-speed internet connection to
upload the temperature and humidity measurement log to your web account. Login to your account
and view your temperature and humidity measurement log anywhere in the world with an Internet
connection.
SUGGESTED USES
Note: The base unit cannot get wet, and may be affected by high humidity conditions. Use the
detachable probe for wet or high humidity environments.

PACKAGE LIST OF CONTENTS
1. One TX60U-IT wireless temperature & humidity sensor
2. Mounting hardware
3. Instruction manual
ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT (NOT INCLUDED)
• Two fresh AAA, IEC LR03, 1.5V Alkaline batteries
• PC with high speed internet to configure the TX60U-IT sensor
IMPORTANT SETUP & OPERATION NOTES
• The TX60U-IT sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area. Please avoid a location with direct
sun, as that will cause incorrect readings.
• Fog and mist will not harm the TX60U-IT sensor but direct rain must be avoided. Note: Exposing the
TX60U-IT sensor case to extreme humidity may temporarily disrupt data. The sensor case reads
humidity, but should not be ‘submerged’ in water. The included 6 ft. probe can be used for measuring
water temperature.
• The TX60U-IT sensor has a wireless range of 200 feet (60.96 m). Keep in mind that the 200 ft range
equates to open air with no obstructions, and that radio waves DO NOT curve around objects. Actual
transmission range will vary depending on what is in the path of the signal. Each obstruction (roof,
walls, floors, ceilings, thick trees, etc.) will effectively cut signal range in half.
Example: If the TX60U-IT Sensor, with a 200 feet (60.96 m) range, is mounted on an exterior wall,
the signal must then pass through one exterior wall, one interior wall, and across the 10 feet (3 m)
width of the room between the 2 walls to reach the Gateway. The first wall will reduce the range to
100 feet (30.48 m), and the second wall will reduce the range to 50 feet (15.24 m). Factoring in the 10
foot room, this leaves a maximum of 40 feet (12.2 m) of remaining signal range. This allowance is
typically enough for a frame wall with non-metallic siding; however certain materials can reduce range
even further. Metal siding, stucco, and some types of glass can reduce signal range by as much as ¾
or more, compared to the ½ reduction typical of most obstructions. It is possible to receive a signal
through these materials, however maximum range will be much less due to their tendency to absorb
or reflect a much larger portion of the sensor’s signal.
• The TX60U-IT sensor measures and updates the temperature and humidity on the LCD every 6
seconds. Note: The new measurement is reported to the computer at intervals that you select using
your online account. Your online account will be updated with the new measurements based on the
time interval that you select.

(A)
BEGIN SET UP
First you must have a Gateway registered so that it can communicate with your new TX60U-IT
sensor. If you do not already have a Gateway registered, begin by registering your Gateway online at:
www.weatherdirect.com. After successful online Gateway registration, you will use to following steps
to "connect" both devices:
Step 1. Please make sure the TX60U-IT sensor is 3 to 10 feet away from the Gateway during the
registration process. Registration may fail if the device is too close or too far from the Gateway.
Step 2. Install batteries into the TX60U-IT sensor. (See “Battery Installation”)
Step 3. Press and release the button on the TX60U-IT Sensor.
Step 4. Press and release the button on the Weather Direct® Gateway.
Step 5. Wait approximately 10 seconds for the two devices to make a connection. The LED on the
TX60U-IT sensor will turn ON to signal that it is trying to connect to the Gateway.
Step 6. The LED on the TX60U-IT Wireless sensor will turn OFF once the device is successfully
connected to the Gateway.
Step 7. The channel number for connection will briefly display on the TX60U-IT LCD and the LED will
light up for approximately 5 seconds. Then, the LCD will alternate the measurement values
for channel 1 and 2:
o CHANNEL 1: Measurement received by the internal temperature and humidity sensor within the
sensor body.
o CHANNEL 2: Measurement received by the optional external temperature probe. "nC" will be
displayed if no probe is attached.
Note: If registration fails, the LCD on the TX60U-IT will display “1” and LED will continue to blink in
sets of three. If this happens, please return to Step 3 to restart the setup process.
OPTIONAL CHANNEL 2 TEMPERATURE PROBE
If the optional probe for the TX60U-IT sensor is unplugged, the LCD on the TX60U-IT sensor will
display "nC" for the CHANNEL 2 reading. The probe can be plugged into the TX60U-IT sensor at
anytime without resetting the units.

sensor until the LCD displays a full segment and then delete the record in your account.
WARNING: If you do this, you will have to re-register your device.
AUTOMATIC SPREADSHEET CREATION OF MEASUREMENT LOG
Once the TX60U-IT sensor is set up on your www.weatherdirect.com account and is building a
measurement log, you can download the data to your computer in the form of a spreadsheet. You
have the option to either: "save the file to your hard drive" or "open it directly from the website". You
must have an application on your computer that supports Microsoft® Excel formatted files for this
option to work. No subscription required.
