Indoor Temperature
This measures temperature at the location
of the dial (unlike the electronic temperature which reads remote
temperatures) & is factory set to bring you accurate readings.
If necessary to reset, place temp gauge in a room with a reference
thermometer for about an hour to obtain a stable reading. The
accuracy of setting the thermometer depends upon the accuracy
of the reference thermometer.
To recalibrate, place a coin in the slot
at the back of the movement & adjust to read correct room
temperature. Hold upright & tap thermometer to make sure hand
has settled at the correct reading. Put a piece of tape over the
slot to prevent it from being accidentally moved.
Indoor/Outdoor Temperature
Box contents: 1 temperature meter; 1 sensor probe w/ 50' 3 c.
wire and capsule; 1 power supply.
BENCH TEST PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Before installing take the time to connect it to test that it
was not damaged in shipping.
CAUTION: do not cut
the wire length of the remote sensor. Leave excess coiled up in
attic space, etc.
DO NOT PLUG IN UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS HAVE
BEEN MADE.
Connect wires to terminals on rear of meter - terminals #1 red,
#2 green and #3 black. On all models except 1042, connect
either wire from transformer plug to #6 and #7. On model 1042
only- connect either wire from transformer plug to #10
and #11. Plug in.
Unit should show reading and have two red LEDs indicating what
kind of reading. It will take a short while for the unit to stabilize.
To clear false readings, reset by holding in reset button for
5 seconds.
Operation:
The unit is set to normally read Outdoors- where you located
the remote sensor (it could be outdoors, greenhouse, or some secondary
location other than outdoors). The right push button (as viewed
from the front) changes the location of where you are monitoring
the temperature - the left push button reads high, or low, or
actual- what the temperature is at the present time.
Note: to properly use the push buttons- just push them once momentarily
and release. Repeat this until you read the correct LED. Pushing
the button in and holding it for 5 seconds will reset
or Zero the
memory (it will then be set at the current emperature at that
location). When the button is held in longer than 5 seconds to
clear the memory, the LED will blink once.
To read outdoor actual- the right button should be
momentarily pushed until the LED marked outdoor is lit.
The left button should be momentarily pushed until the LED marked
actual is lit. Note reading.
For outdoor high- assuming that the outdoor
LED is still lit, push the left button until the LED
marked high is lit. Note reading. Because you are testing
this before installation, hold the outdoor sensor in your hand
to change it's temperature. Note the difference.
For outdoor low - push left button momentarily until
the LEDs marked low and outdoor are lit. Note
reading. (Again- during testing this will only read lower if you
can lower the temperature of the sensor.)
To read indoor - the right button should be momentarily
pushed until the LED marked indoor is lit. The left button
should be momentarily pushed until the LED marked actual
is lit. This will give you the actual temperature of the where
the meter is located. You may follow steps above to access high
and low outdoor readings, however during testing the
indoor readings will usually read the same until a day or so has
passed. Indoor temperature should not vary much if your location
is climate controlled.
Now you can install the sensor outdoors and unit where it will
be located.
To install sensor: locate on North side of structure 8 ft. above
the ground (not on roof; away from external sources of heat such
as louvers, vents, etc.). Remove bottom cap and sensor from holder;
remove plastic mounting bracket with screw. Attach bracket with
screw to remote location.
Reassemble, inserting sensor and bottom cap. Do not
add wire to the probe length. All meters are factory calibrated.
Altering may void warranty. After installation, run through the
steps above to check readings for
- outdoor actual
- outdoor high
- outdoor low
Outdoor Temperature
Box contents: 1 temperature meter; 1
temperature sensor with 50’ 2 c wire, 1 6V-AC power supply.
BENCH TEST
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.
Connect probe wires to terminals on rear
of meter - terminal #1 and #2. Connect power wires to terminals
#3 and #4.
DO NOT PLUG
IN UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE.
Plug in; note reading to see that instrument
is working properly. Up to 300 ft. of wire may be added if properly
soldered.
To install sensor: locate on North side of structure
8 ft. above the ground. Do not mount on roof. Mount away from
external sources of heat such as louvers, vents,etc. Attach holder
to location using the screw provided. Hold capsule with cap at
top. Take probe wire and bend from bottom back toward top and
carefully guide into holder aligning the wire into the groove
in holder. Do not damage wire. Recheck wire to be sure it is properly
in groove. All meters are factory calibrated. Altering may void
warranty.
