TX29U -Wireless 915 MHz Temperature Transmitter

The TX-29U temperature transmitter measures the outdoor temperature and

transfers the data to the temperature station.

INVENTORY OF CONTENTS

1. One TX29U Temperature transmitter

2. Mounting hardware

3. Instruction manual and warranty card.

ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT (not included)

• Two fresh AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V Alkaline batteries.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON SETUP & OPERATION

• The temperature transmitter should be placed in a dry, shaded area.

Avoid direct sun, as that will cause incorrect readings.

• Fog and mist will not harm your temperature transmitter but direct rain

must be avoided.

• The temperature transmitter has a range of 330 feet (100 m). Keep in

mind that the 330 feet is in open air with no obstructions and that radio

waves DO NOT curve around objects. Actual transmission range will vary

depending on what is in the path of the signal. Each obstruction (roof,

walls, floors, ceilings, thick trees, etc.) will effectively cut signal range in

half.

Example: A wireless weather/ temperature station with a 330 feet (100 m)

range is mounted on an interior wall, so that the signal has to pass

through one interior wall, one exterior wall, and across the 10 feet (3 m)

width of the room between the 2 walls. The first wall will reduce the range

to 165 feet (50 m), and the second wall will reduce the range to 87 feet

(26.5 m). Factoring in the 10 foot room, this leaves a maximum of 77 feet

(23.5 m) of remaining signal range.

This allowance is typically enough for a frame wall with non-metallic

siding; however certain materials can reduce range even further. Metal

siding, stucco, and some types of glass can reduce signal range by as

much as ¾ or more, compared to the ½ reduction typical of most

obstructions. It is possible to receive a signal through these materials,

however maximum range will be much less due to their tendency to

absorb or reflect a much larger portion of the sensor’s signal.

• The Temperature transmitter transmits a signal about every 4.5 seconds.

After the batteries have been installed, the indoor temperature station will

search for the signal for a duration of few minutes. If there is no

temperature reading in the OUTDOOR LCD after 5 minutes, user shall

make sure the units are within range of each other, or repeat the battery

installation procedure.

• If a button is pressed before the indoor temperature station receives the

signal from the Temperature transmitter, you will need to follow the battery

installation procedure again.

SETTING UP

When one transmitter is to be used

1. First, insert the batteries to the temperature transmitter (see “Battery

Installation” below).

2. Within 2 minutes of powering up the transmitter, insert the batteries to

the Temperature Station (see “Battery Installation” below). Once the

batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly.

Following the indoor temperature and the time as 12:00 will be

displayed. If they are not shown in LCD after 60 seconds, remove the

batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them. Once

the indoor data is displayed user may proceed to the next step.

3. After the batteries are inserted, the Temperature Station will start

receiving data signal from the transmitter. The outdoor temperature

should then be displayed on the Temperature station. If this does not

happen after 5 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both

units and reset from step 1.

4. In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission however, there

should be a distance of no more than 330 feet (100 meters) between the

final position of the Temperature Station and the transmitter.

Adding additional remote transmitters (using more than 1 transmitter)

1. User shall remove all the batteries from the temperature station and

transmitters and wait 60 seconds if setting has been done with one

transmitter before.

2. Insert the batteries to the first transmitter.

3. Within 2 minutes of powering up the first transmitter, insert the batteries

to the Temperature Station. Once the batteries are in place, all

segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the indoor

temperature and the time as 12:00 will be displayed. If they are not

shown in LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at

least 60 seconds before reinserting them.

4. The outdoor temperature from the first transmitter (channel 1) should

then be displayed on the Temperature station. Also, the signal reception

icon will be displayed. If this does not happen after 5 minutes, the

batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1.

5. Insert the batteries to the second transmitter as soon as the outdoor

temperature readings from the first transmitter are displayed on the

temperature station.

Note:

User shall insert the batteries into the second transmitter within 45 seconds of

reception of the first transmitter.

6. The outdoor temperature from the second transmitter and the "channel

2" icon should then be displayed on the Temperature station. If this

does not happen after 5 minute, the batteries will need to be removed

from all the units and reset from step 1.

7. Insert the batteries to the third transmitter as soon as the "channel 2"

icon and outdoor data are displayed on the temperature station. Then

within 5 minutes, the channel 3 outdoor data from the third transmitter

will be displayed and the channel icon will shift back to "1" once the third

transmitter is successfully received. If this is not happen, user shall

restart the setting up from step 1.

Note: User shall insert the batteries into the third transmitter within 45 seconds

of reception of the second transmitter.

8. In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission however, this should

under good conditions be a distance no more than 330 feet (100 m)

between the final position of the Temperature Station and the

transmitter

IMPORTANT:

Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional sensors is not

followed as described above. Should transmission problems occur, it is

necessary to remove the batteries from all units and start again the set-up from

step 1.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Temperature Station

1. Lift up the battery compartment cover.

2. Observing the correct polarity install 2 AA, Alkaline batteries.

The batteries will fit tightly (to avoid start-up problems make sure they do

not spring free).

3. Replace compartment cover.

Remote Temperature transmitter

1. Remove the battery cover by sliding the cover down.

2. Observing the correct polarity install 2 AA, Alkaline batteries. The

batteries will fit tightly (to avoid start-up problems make sure they do not

spring free).

3. Replace the battery cover by sliding upwards. Be sure battery cover is on

securely.

Note:

•

If the signal reception is not successful on the first frequency of 915MHz

for 45 seconds, the frequency is changed to 920MHz and the learning is

tried for another 45 seconds. If it is still not successful the reception is

tried for 45 seconds on 910MHz. This will also be done during re-

synchronization.

•

Detailed Set up procedures of the Temperature Station and the

Transmitter refer to the main operation manual of WS-9021U or 9640U.

MOUNTING

THE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER

The Temperature transmitter can be mounted onto a wall with the use of screws

MOUNTING WITH SCREWS

1. Remove the mounting bracket from the Temperature transmitter.

2. Place the mounting bracket over the desired location.

3. Through the two screw holes of the bracket, mark the mounting surface

with a pencil.

4. Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. Ensure that the

screws are tight against the bracket.

5. Insert the Temperature transmitter into the bracket.
