Outdoor Temperature Transmitter

Compatible Outdoor Transmitters

 A TX38U-IT outdoor transmitter is compatible with this Temperature Station.

Power Requirements

 2-AAA batteries power the outdoor transmitter.
 We recommend alkaline batteries for the transmitter.

Dashes shown for Outdoor Temperature

 Dashes means the connection is lost between the Temperature Station and the
outdoor transmitter.
 Batteries often resolve the connection.
 Distance/Resistance can cause loss of connection between the transmitter and
the Temperature Station.
 Reorientation of the Temperature Station 90 degrees towards the outdoor
transmitter may provide better reception.
 Complete a factory restart.

Inaccurate Outdoor Temperature Reading

 The outdoor transmitter reads the environment. When mounted in the home it
will read inside temperature.
 When the transmitter reads high during the day but not at night it is a
positioning problem.
 Side-by-side test: Bring the outdoor transmitter in the house and place it next
to the Temperature Station for 2 hours.
 Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperatures should be within 4
degrees to be within tolerance.
 If the transmitter reads correctly when next to the Temperature Station then try
a different location outside.
 Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames, or reflected
heat.

Intermittent Outdoor Temperature

 RF (radio frequency) communication may come and go occasionally. This can be
normal in some environments (e.g. moister climates). If transmitter signal is
lost, please wait 2-4 hours for the signal to reconnect on its own.
 Move the outdoor transmitter to a closer location.
 Freezer test: Confirm the Temperature Station is reading the correct outdoor
transmitter. Place the transmitter in the freezer for an hour and watch the
temperature drop on the Temperature Station.
 Indoor distance test: Please complete the Restart with transmitter and
Temperature Station 5-10 feet apart and inside to establish a strong connection.
 After 15 minutes if there is a reading in the outdoor temperature area, move the
transmitter to another room with one wall between the transmitter and the
