TempMinder® MRI-213MX Wireless Weather Station Congratulations on having purchased (or received) this fine MRI‐213MX TempMinder®. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us at any time (information below). These instructions are purposely non‐technical (written by Minder’s “non‐engineering” staff members only). Specifications: ‐ Remote Temperature Range: ‐30°C to + 60°C (‐22°F to +140°F) ‐ Remote transmission Distance: Max 65 meters (210 ft) ‐ Temperature Accuracy: +/‐ 1°C (2.0°F) ‐ Humidity Accuracy: +/‐ 5% ‐ Power Supply: 5 “AAA” batteries (not incl.) Or 4.5v AC/DC adaptor (incl.) +2 “AAA” batteries (not incl.) ‐ RCC Auto Set Clock w/5.5 zones (P/M/C/E/A/N) ... - Page 2 Important Note for “Button Pushers”: If you have not read the following instructions and have started pushing buttons, you may find that none of them are working (example pressing the “DOWN” button does not change the temperatures from °C to °F). That is because the unit is searching for a signal from Colorado (A9 icon is flashing)! To rectify this, you may simply wait for 2 or 3 minutes (after which time the unit temporarily stops searching) or press and hold the “DOWN” button for 2 seconds. Either way, you will then have full control of all the buttons. Happy pushing but please read the rest of the instructions! Please do not return the unit to the store because the buttons are not working! If the above does not make sense, call us (Minder Research 772‐463‐6522). We have secret ways of fixing stuff over the phone!!! ...
- Page 3 Auto Setting (RCC Atomic) Clock The MRI-213MX is the first ever Weather Station with an auto setting clock capable of adjusting to 5.5 North American time zones. The zones are “P” – Pacific, “M” – Mountain, “C” – Central, “E” – Eastern, “A” – Atlantic,...
- Page 4 “P/M/C/etc”, you may simply press the “UP” button until you see your correct local time. Remember, this is in the morning after the TempMinder® has received a strong enough signal to set the “Pacific” time. If for some reason the unit has not received the RCC, you may simply wait for another overnight cycle (strongest transmissions run from 1:00AM through 5:00AM), or you can go to the next section and enter your current time and date manually.
- Page 5 releasing the SET button. Sounds complicated, but you will understand once you get started. Whatever happens, do not get frustrated – patience is the key! By the way, if step one below does not work, please read “Important note for “Button Pushers” at the beginning of these instructions! ‐ Press and hold “SET” button for 2 seconds: ‐ Press UP OR DOWN button for the correct YEAR then press SET to confirm. ‐ With the MONTH flashing, press the up or down button then SET to confirm. ‐ Repeat the above for: DAY – LANGUAGE – HOUR – MINUTE – ON/OFF FOR DST* ‐ 12/24 HR ‐ Note: When the day of the week flashes (EN on first set up), press the UP button until you see your language of choice. (EN/GE/FR/IT/DU/SP or DA). If English is your language of choice, simply press SET. ‐ *DST = Daylight Saving Time (leave “ON” if your time zone changes with the seasons). ‐ Congratulations – that’s it!! If you did it in one pass, you must be the engineer who wrote the software. If you did it in two tries, you are probably under 10 years old! Whatever the case, it’s done. Keep these instructions as you will need them in about a year when the batteries require replacement. Alarm Clock Setting: ‐ Press & hold ALARM button for 2 seconds ‐ Press UP or DOWN for desired hour then press ALARM to confirm ‐ Repeat for minutes setting ‐ Press ALARM to activate (bell icon appears above the seconds) press again to de‐activate. ‐ When the alarm sounds, press the SNZ/LIGHT button for another 5 minutes of sleep OR press any other button to turn it off. Temperature Alert Setting (channels 1, 2 or 3): The order is UPPER LIMIT > LOWER LIMIT > EXIT. Starting values are +70C / 158F (upper) and ‐50C / ‐58F (lower). ‐ Select the CHANNEL you wish to program with a Hi/Lo temperature alert. ...
- Page 6 Miscellaneous Information/Hints: Locate the Transmitter out of direct sunlight. Even though the unit is “weather proof” try to keep it out of direct rain or snow as much as possible. Under an eave, window sill or overhang is ideal. If temperatures in your area drop below ‐20°C/‐4°F use Lithium batteries in the transmitter. IF: you lose the signal from the remote transmitter. Press and hold the CHANNEL button for 2 seconds. This will initiate a 3 minute search. If still not found, read below. If your TempMinder has been functioning for 6 months or longer, you will likely resolve the problem by replacing the batteries in both the transmitter(s) and the receiver. If the problem persists, the cause is probably electronic interference from another device. This is very difficult to determine and all we can suggest is moving the receiver and transmitter to various locations. Quite often a move of even a few feet (meters) in one direction or another will resolve the issue. It is interesting to note that RF (Radio Frequency signals) will transmit better through a concrete wall than glass! Weather Forecast: This function mainly considers the change in atmospheric pressure and is fairly accurate within a 10 mile (16 km) radius. This accuracy will be greatly reduced if the TempMinder® is constantly located in an enclosed environment (air conditioned or heated well sealed home). This can be modified somewhat by temporarily placing the receiver near an open window, in the garage or even outside on a protected porch or balcony. Understand that this forecast is not meant to replace the Weather Channel or your local weather man!!! FCC Statement: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
