    CM7015 3. CM7 Temperature & Humidity Sensor Overview The CM7 Temperature & Humidity Sensor is used to take remote measurements that are wirelessly transmitted to the Display Console. It can be used either indoors or outdoors, but is best-placed in a sheltered position within 100 metres of the console.

    Display Console. Before doing so though, there are a few steps worth following in order to customise your setup and get the most out of your CM7015. We’d recommend running through the setup guide in this order as this will ensure that nothing important is missed.
  • Page 10 CM7015 The battery compartment is located at the front of the Rain Gauge, facing away from the mounting panel. Remove the protective cover to access the battery port, as pictured below. Place 4 x AAA batteries into the battery compartment, making sure that these are inserted correctly.
  • Page 11 CM7015 Up to eight CM7 Sensors can be used at once, so if you’re looking to use more than one please ensure they are each set to different Channel IDs (numbered from 1 to 8) in order to be successfully received by the Display Console. The selected Channel ID will be shown on the small screen on each sensor, as well as on the console next to the measurements it’s transmitting.
  • Page 12 Power Adaptor If you have the additional power adaptor for use with the CM7015, follow the above process but simply plug the Display Console in using mains power instead. You can still keep batteries inserted into the console too, as this will allow it to remain powered up when mains power is not available –...
  • Page 13 CM7015 Confirming Connections Once the searching phase has been completed by the Display Console, make sure that you are receiving the following readings: • Remote information from the CM7 Sensor • Internal information measured by the Display Console • A signal from the Rain Gauge (confirmed by data shown in the Rain field)
  • Page 14 CM7015 When you’ve decided on a location, you can use the mounting recess found at the back of the Rain Gauge’s base to fasten this to a mounting pole, fence post or other suitable support of up to 35mm in diameter. Use the two U-bolts and four nuts included in order to secure this in place.
  • Page 15 CM7015 Situating your CM7 Sensor Your CM7 Sensor can now been relocated as desired, ensuring it also remains within 100-metre transmission range of the Display Console. To achieve accurate temperature measurements, avoid mounting the sensor in a position where it will be subject to direct sunlight – your sensor will measure most accurately in a shaded, North-facing position.
  • Page 16 CM7015 Situating your Display Console The Display Console can receive data from the CM7 Sensors at a maximum distance of 100 metres, but this may be impacted slightly by trees, or walls made from certain materials. If your readings are intermittent, it may be worth experimenting with the placement of the console to ensure all sensors are being picked up successfully, otherwise some channels may not be present.

  • Page 17: Display Console

    CM7015 5. Display Console Using the Console The Display Console receives information wirelessly from the outdoor Rain Gauge and the CM7 Sensor, as well as measuring indoor temperature and humidity information using sensors located within the console itself. Once the Rain Gauge and any CM7 Sensors are operational and positioned suitably, it’s worth taking some time to...
  • Page 18 CM7015 Console Key Tone On/Off The beeping sound emitted by the console can be helpful in making sure that key presses have been registered. However, this can be turned off if preferred. To do so, simply press and hold the HISTORY key for 3 seconds while on the home screen until BUZZ is displayed at the top of the console confirming this has been disabled.
  • Page 19 CM7015 If your Rain Gauge signal is lost – press and hold the CHANNEL key for 3 seconds to enter the Sensor Search Mode as before. The Channel ID will be flashing, but this time press the key once to scroll to the ‘RAIN’ setting instead. Once this option is flashing, press the SET key to prompt the Display Console to seek to re-establish a connection with your Rain Gauge.

  • Page 21 CM7015 Min/Max Clearing: The Min/Max Clearing feature causes the console to automatically reset all minimum and maximum values at midnight. Enabling this feature can therefore make it easier to check the highs and lows for temperature and humidity each day. If you’d prefer to manually reset these measurements to take readings over a different...

    CM7015 6. CM7 Temperature & Humidity Sensor Configuring Channels The Channel ID of each sensor can be changed at any time using the Channel Selector found underneath the battery cover. When setting or changing the Channel ID of a sensor, please note you’ll also need to remove and re-insert the sensor batteries in order for this change to take effect.
  • Page 25 CM7015 Remove the batteries from the sensor, then carefully move the first three DIP switches to either the UP or DOWN positions (it may be easiest to use a narrow implement such as a pencil to do this) in order to set the Channel ID as desired. Each numbered channel uses a different combination of up and down switches, as shown: Note: Remote alarms can only be used with a CM7 Sensor set to Channel 1 - if you’re...
  • Page 26 Adding More Sensors Adding extra CM7 sensors to your CM7015 later down the line is as straightforward as inserting batteries into a new sensor and ensuring that it is set to a different channel to any others currently in place. Once the sensor is powered up, use the Sensor Search Mode detailed on Page 17 to prompt the console to look for any available sensors.

  • Page 29: Alarm Mode

    CM7015 Min/Max Clearing Mode The Min/Max Clearing feature will prompt the CM7015 to automatically clear all minimum and maximum records each day at midnight. This means you will not need to clear these manually, and can simply take readings at whatever point in the day is desired.
  • Page 30 CM7015 Each time you press the SET key, the next available parameter will be flashing to indicate this is selected, along with either ‘HI’ or ‘LOW’ shown in the top row of the console to indicate which type of alarm this will be.
  • Page 31 CM7015 As an example, to set an alarm for when indoor humidity reaches as high as 80%: • Press and hold the ALARM key for 3 seconds to enter the Alarm Mode. Then, press and hold the SET key for 3 seconds to enter the menu for setting •...

  • Page 32: Calibration

    Please also keep in mind that calibrating the CM7015 to match another instrument will not guarantee identical readings at all times. A measurement accuracy of +/- 1°C for both instruments would mean of a difference of 2°C is still within expected range for...
  • Page 33 CM7015 To move to the outdoor temperature calibration, instead of pressing SNOOZE/LIGHT, press the SET key again and this parameter will now begin to flash. As before, you can keys to enter an adjustment value as desired. Pressing the SET key...

    CM7015 12. Support Often, problems that appear to develop with this type of device actually have a cause that may be easy to miss, but should be straightforward to resolve. Below is a list of the most common problems and the steps we’d suggest in order to address them.
  • Page 37 CM7015 Temperature readings appear to measure too high Check the placement of your CM7 Sensors. If the sensor is receiving any direct sunlight during the day, this will heat up the case of the sensor. As this heat is retained, it will also affect the temperature being measured and lift it above the true value.
  • Page 38 CM7015 Indoor and remote humidity readings do not match when placed in the same location Similar to the temperature readings, the console and CM7 Sensor should produce the same readings if placed next to each other in an identical environment. The sensor accuracy is +/–...
