Freezer test: Confirm the atomic clock is reading the correct remote sensor (not a
neighbor's sensor). Place the remote sensor in the freezer for an hour and watch the
temperature drop on the atomic clock.
Indoor distance test: Please complete the
10 feet apart and inside to establish a strong connection.
• After 15 minutes, if there is a reading in the remote temperature area, move the remote
sensor to another room with one wall between the remote sensor and the atomic
clock.
• Observe to see if the temperature remains on consistently for 1 hour.
• If the temperature remains on while in the house, then it is likely a
issue.
• Move the remote sensor to different locations outside to find a location where the
temperature reading will hold.
Remote Temperature is stuck or HH.H, LL.L
Explanation: These symbols are error messages indicating the remote sensor is outside of
its readable range.
• Check
Batteries.
Overpowered or underpowered batteries can cause this reading.
• Replace remote sensor.
Remote sensor drains batteries quickly
• Test a new set of alkaline batteries. Write down the date of installation and the voltage
of the batteries.
• When the batteries fail, please note the date and voltage again.
• Check the
distance
Remote sensors at the end of the range may work while batteries are fresh but not
after they drain a bit.
• Check for leaking batteries, which may damage the remote sensor.
• Battery life is over 18 months when using reputable battery brands.
Remote sensor fell. The sensor no longer works
Explanation: If there is no physical damage to the remote sensor, the fall may not have
caused internal damage. A fall can shock the remote sensor or the batteries in the remote
sensor. Batteries that have fallen on a hard surface may be damaged and unable to
function properly.
• Complete a
Restart
• Use
Batteries
dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries dated
earlier than six years from now may still work but may be unstable in performance.
Note: A remote sensor that has fallen into puddle, snow, or other standing water, will likely
have water damage and need to be replaced. Remote sensors are water resistant, not
waterproof.
