Before you begin configuring your wireless indoor sensor,
you should be familiar with its features and with the display
and the location and operation of the sensor buttons. Your
thermostat consists of two parts: the sensor cover and the
base.

INSTALLATION
INDOORS SELECT SENSOR LOCATION
Proper location insures that the remote sensor will provide a
comfortable home or building temperature. Observe the
following general rules when selecting a location:

ATTACH WIRELESS REMOTE SENSOR BASE TO WALL
CHECK WIRELESS INDOOR SENSOR OPERATION
Refer to the thermostat user manual for complete details.
1. Remove the packing material from the sensor. Gently
pull the front cover straight off the base. Forcing or prying
on the sensor will cause damage to the unit.
2. Place base on wall and mark mounting hole locations
using base as a template.
3. Move base out of the way. Drill mounting holes.
4. Fasten base loosely to wall, as shown above, using two
mounting screws. Place a level against bottom of base,
adjust until level, and then tighten screws. (Leveling is for
appearance only and will not affect sensor operation.) If
you are using existing mounting holes, or if holes drilled
are too large and do not allow you to tighten base snugly,
use plastic screw anchors to secure subbase sensor to
operate properly with your system.
5. Place two AAA batteries in the batteries holder base
location.
6. Replace the cover by lining up the cover with the base
and press until the cover snaps onto the base.

1. The remote sensor can be located a maximum of 150
feet from the thermostat.
2. Locate sensor about 5 ft. above the room floor level.
3. Install sensor on a partitioning wall, not on an outside
wall.
4. Never expose sensor to direct light from lamps, sun,
fireplaces or any temperature radiating equipment.
5. Avoid locations close to windows, adjoining outside
walls, or doors that lead outside.
6. Avoid locations close to air registers or in the direct path
of air from them.
7. Make sure there are no electrical wires, metal, pipes or
duct work in that part of the wall chosen for the sensor
location.
8. Avoid locating the sensor on a concrete wall, junction
box or metal plate.
9. Never locate sensor in a room that is normally warmer or
cooler than the rest of the home (such as the kitchen) or
building.
10. Avoid locations with poor air circulation, such as behind
doors or in alcoves.
11. In the home, the bedroom, the living or dining room is
normally a good location, provided there is no cooking
range or refrigerator on opposite side of wall.
NOTE
This sensor must be attached to a wall during operation.
Moving the sensor around is strictly prohibited.

CONFIGURATION MENUS
The configuration menus allow you to set certain thermostat operating characteristics to your system or personal requirements.
Two configuration menus are available User Configuration Menu and Installer Configuration Menu.
User Configuration Menu
In the normal mode, press and keys at the same time momentarily to enter the User menu. To scroll through the
menu momentarily press the and keys at the same time. To exit the menu scroll through all menu items. If no
buttons are pushed for 3minutes, the control will return to normal operation.

User configuration menu
The User Configuration Menu table summarizes the configuration options. An explanation of each option follows.
1) Select keypad lockout OFF or ON – Selecting LOCK ON will cause the keypads to lock in the normal operation mode. This
will prevent the user from adjusting the sensed temperature in the normal operation. Selecting LOCK OFF will cause the
keypads to unlock in the normal operation mode. Display will indicate LOCK in the display when the keypad is in lockout.
2) Select temporary adjust temperature hold time – Select the length of time for the temporary temperature adjustment.
Hold time default is 4 hours and can be set from 1 to 8 hours in 1 hour increments.
3) Select temperature display adjustment higher or lower – allows you to adjust the room temperature display 1° to 4° higher
or lower. Your sensor was accurately calibrated at the factory but you have the option to change the display temperature to
match your previous sensor.
4) Select display temperature OFF or ON –SelectingOFFallowsyoutodisabledisplayingthesensedtemperatureinthenormal
operation. Instead the sensor will display PWR with the word (on) to indicated normal operation.
5) Select display backlight OFF or ON -. The display backlight improves display contrast in low lighting conditions. Selecting
dL ON will keep the light on for a short period of time after any key is pressed. Selecting OFF will keep the light off.
6) Select temperature display to oF or oC- Changes the display readout to Celsius or Fahrenheit as required.

Installer Configuration Menu
In the normal mode, press and keys for a minimum of five seconds at the same time to enter the Installer menu.
To scroll through the menu momentarily press the and keys at the same time. To exit the menu scroll through all
menu items. If no buttons are pushed for 3minutes, the control will return to normal operation.

Installer Configuration Menu
The Installer Configuration Menu table summarizes the configuration options. An explanation of each option follows.
1) Select learn mode OFF or ON – Selecting LEARN on enables the sensors learning mode. In the learning mode the sensor
will transmit the information once every 10 seconds for a period of 10 minutes. The LEARN icon will be displayed in normal
operation during the learning mode. The transmitter icon will be displayed for a short period of time with each transmission.
For more information about the learning mode, please refer to the thermostat’s user manual.
2) Select sensor identification from A to O –Formultiplesensorssystems,eachsensormusthaveadesignatedidentification.
For indoor sensors you may select A, B or C. For outdoor sensor you must select O.
3) Select transmitter frequency offset – The sensor’s transmitter operates on 418MHz radio frequency by default. Interfer-
ence may occur if another device or equipment operates on the same frequency. The interference may degrade the
communications between the sensor and the thermostat. To avoid interference, you may select a different radio frequency
for your sensor. This menu item allows you to select a radio frequency offset from 1 to 9MHz from the base frequency. For
example; if the you selected an offset of 4, the transmitter radio frequency will be 418MHz + 4MHz = 422MHz. Note that
the sensor’s transmitter and the thermostat’s receiver must operate on the same frequency to communicate. To change
thermostat’s receiver frequency please refer to the thermostat’s user manual.
SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS
1) Low Battery power: The sensor will display the word LO along with BATT icon to indicate a low battery power condition.
The batteries must be replaced to ensure a proper sensor performance. For optimum performance, we recommend
replacing batteries once a year with fresh “AAA” Energizer ®alkaline batteries.
2) Bad wireless remote temperature Sensor: If the sensor’s temperature device fails the sensor will display E1. If the sensor’s
transmitter device fails the sensor will display E0. In both cases the sensor must be replaced.
OPERATION
The sensor monitors the temperature and sends information to the thermostat. Updated information is sent to the thermostat
when the temperature changes 3/16 degree or more from the last update.
The room temperature can be adjusted hotter or cooler without changing the thermostat setpoint by pressing or
on the remote. The temperature can be adjusted 1° to 4°F for the length of time set for temporary hold in the User configura-
tion menu. When the or keys are pressed to adjust the temperature the comfort adjust bar graph will show 1 to 4
bars up with H to indicate hotter or 1 to 4 bars down with C to indicate cooler.
