ThermoPro TX8B/TX8C Wireless Outdoor Humidity and Temperature Monitor
Instruction Manual
Model No. TX8B/TX8C
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the wireless outdoor humidity and temperature monitor. You will now be able to know the outdoor temperature and humidity while sitting inside.
Components
The system includes:
- One remote sensor (Transmitter)
Although the remote sensor is designed to be rain-proof, it still must be always put in a dry place to avoid direct rainfall.
Outdoor Remote Sensor (Transmitter) Features
The outdoor remote sensor has the following features:
- Front: Labeled "REMOTE SENSOR" with a "TX LED" indicator.
- Top: Features a "Wall hanging hole".
- Back: Contains a "RESET" button, a "TX" button (to manually send temperature/humidity data), a channel selector switch for "Channel 1, 2, 3", and the battery compartment for "2*AAA battery".
- Bottom: Equipped with "Vent Holes" to allow environmental sensing.
- General View: Displays the "Therm Pro" logo and a "TXLED" indicator.
- Temperature Range: -58°F ~ 158°F (-50°C ~ 70°C).
- Humidity Range: 10% ~ 99%.
Battery Installation and Setup
Remote Sensor Battery Installation:
- Open the battery compartment of the remote sensor as shown in the figures.
- Slide the channel selector switch inside the battery compartment to your desired channel. For the first remote sensor, you may select any channel; for additional remote sensors, select any unused channel.
- Insert (2) AAA batteries according to the polarity markings (+ and -). Replace the battery compartment cover.
Base Station Battery Installation:
- Open the battery compartment at the back of the base station.
- Insert (2) AAA batteries according to the polarity markings. Replace the compartment door.
Notes on Batteries:
- Do not mix old and new batteries.
- Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon zinc), or rechargeable (nickel cadmium) batteries.
- For maximum performance in normal conditions, use good quality alkaline batteries.
- If the battery power is low, a low battery icon will show on the base station display.
Synchronize Remote Sensors with The Base Station
Please note: Each time the batteries (either base station or remote sensor) are replaced, or if the base station/remote sensor loses connection, make sure to follow the below synchronization process to pair and re-connect the base station and remote sensor.
- Position the remote sensor near the base station.
- Once the batteries are installed in the base station, the RF signal icon [RF signal icon] (located on the upper left of the base station display) will flash for 3 minutes, indicating that the base station is in synchronization mode: it is waiting for remote sensors to be registered.
- If 3 minutes have passed after the batteries were installed in the base station and the RF signal icon is no longer flashing, press and hold the CHANNEL/SYNC button on the back of the base station for 3-4 seconds until the RF signal icon is flashing again to set it back in synchronization mode.
- Install the batteries in the remote sensor and wait for a moment, or just press either the TX or RESET button inside the remote sensor battery compartment. The remote sensor temperature/humidity will show on the base station display, which indicates the synchronization is complete.
- If you have additional remote sensors, repeat the above steps to register the remote sensors (up to 3 remote sensors can be registered with one base station).
Synchronization for ThermoPro TX8B/TX8C with TP220/TP360 Series:
- Place the remote sensor near the base station.
- Press and hold the “CH/ON/OFF” button for 3 seconds to turn on the outdoor sensor.
- Press the ON/OFF/CHANNEL button (on the back of the remote sensor unit) to display channel 1, 2, or 3. The unit is pre-set to Channel 1 and can be left unchanged unless you have purchased more than one remote sensor.
- Press and hold the °C/°F button for 3 seconds to select the temperature unit.
- Once the batteries are installed in the base station, the RF indicator [RF signal icon] will flash for 3 minutes, indicating that the base station is in synchronization mode: it is waiting for remote sensors to be registered.
- Press the °C/°F button on the back of the sensor once, and the LED flashes once. Then wait for a while until the remote sensor on the base station indicates synchronization, showing that the temperature is complete.
- If the synchronization is not successful after 3 minutes when the batteries are installed in the base station and the RF indicator [RF signal icon] no longer flashes, press and hold the CHANNEL/SYNC button on the back of the base station for 3-4 seconds until the RF indicator flashes again to set it back in synchronization mode.
- If you have additional remote sensors, repeat the above steps to synchronize the additional remote sensors (up to 3 remote sensors can be registered with one base station). Please note the additional sensors should be set to a different channel.
Managing Multiple Sensors:
If you have registered more than one sensor, press the CHANNEL/SYNC button on the base station to select the remote channel you want displayed permanently on the base station. Press the CHANNEL/SYNC button until you observe a circular arrow on the base station LCD display under the channel number. The unit will then auto-scroll, changing from channel to channel every 5 seconds.
Place the Base Station and Remote Sensor
Base Station Placement:
- The indoor base station (receiver) should always be placed in a well-ventilated indoor area.
- Locate it away from vents, heating or cooling elements, direct sunlight, windows, doors, or any other openings.
Remote Sensor Placement:
- The remote sensor (transmitter) can be placed on a flat surface, indoors or outdoors.
- Make sure the sensor is within the transmission distance from the base station and with minimal obstructions.
- Although the remote sensor is designed to be rain-proof, the remote sensor must be always placed upwards so that rain won't get inside the sensor through the vent holes on the bottom of the sensor, which functions to let the remote sensor detect the environmental temperature and humidity more precisely and quickly.
Both the base station and remote sensor can be wall mounted.
Warnings
- Do not subject the unit to excessive force, shock, dust, temperature or humidity.
- Do not immerse the unit in water.
- Do not remove any screws.
- Do not dispose of this unit in a fire. IT MAY EXPLODE.
- Keep unit away from children. The unit or parts of the unit might be a choking hazard.
- Dispose of the unit legally and recycle when possible.
