INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Wireless Weather Station with Sensor

Model 00737

Acu-Rite instruments are designed to provide accurate and reliable

measurements. Before setting up the weather station, please read

these instructions thoroughly.

Included with this wireless weather station kit are batteries (2 AA, 2

AAA), wall mounting supplies, the LCD display (main unit), the

remote wireless sensor (sensor unit) and a sensor probe.

Additional sensors can be purchased at

www.chaneyinstrument.com.

Both the main unit and the sensor unit can be displayed on a

desktop or hung on a wall. For desktop display pull out the foldable

stand located on the back of the unit. To hang on a wall, slide the

hanging slot located at the top center of the unit over a nail or

screw (not provided) in the wall.

Main unit:

The main unit and sensor "communicate" using a built-in

random security code. The main unit will automatically "learn"

the random code of the sensor unit and assign this sensor to

Channel 1. Up to two more sensor units can be purchased

separately (model 00739). If additional sensors are purchased

the main unit will automatically assign these sensors to

channels 2 and 3.

Sensor unit:

The sensor can transmit up to 100 feet without outside

interference (e.g. metal surfaces, electrical devices, etc).

The sensor unit has a waterproof case. The 10 ft. detachable

probe can be submerged to measure the temperature in

ponds, aquariums, etc.

Note: When remote temperatures reach -12°F/-24°C or lower,

bring sensor unit(s) indoors and measure temperature by placing

the detachable probe out a window. Extremely cold weather can

freeze the batteries and LCD panel, causing malfunctions.

THERMOMETER SET-UP:

Place batteries in the main unit by removing the battery cover

panel on the back of the unit and inserting 2 AA alkaline

batteries.

Insert 2 AAA alkaline batteries into the sensor unit. Note: The

battery panel is located behind the foldable stand/ mounting

plate, which can be gently pried from the back of the unit. A

small screwdriver is required to open the battery panel.

Before replacing the battery cover press the reset or the Tx

button to send a signal to the main unit.

On the main unit, select between Celsius and Fahrenheit

temperature readings by pressing the + C/F button.

To add an additional sensor make sure batteries are in the

main unit first, then place batteries in the additional sensor and

press the reset or Tx button. The main unit automatically

searches for an open channel to register the signal for the new

sensor.

32° F-122° F/0° C-50° C

-58 F-158° F/-50° C-70° C

Low Battery Indicator:

The low battery indicator will appear on the LCD display of both the

main and sensor units. To replace the batteries, follow the set-up

procedure above.

The main unit and the sensor unit have an average battery life of 6

months, depending on usage. Note: Alkaline batteries are

recommended.

Auto Scroll:

If additional sensors are present, the auto scroll feature will

display each channel's temperature for 5 seconds. To activate

auto scroll, press the

button until the

LCD display.

Temperature Trend Indicator:

If the temperature changes more than 1 degree in an hour, 1 of

3 temperature trend icons will appear, indicating steady, falling,

and rising temperatures.

Steady

Falling

WEATHER FORECASTER SET-UP:

It is important to calibrate the weather forecaster to the

existing outdoor conditions for proper performance.

Hold the + button on the back of the unit for 3 seconds. The

weather icon will begin flashing.

Select the existing weather condition by pressing the - button

on the back of the unit. Press the + button to confirm the

setting.

Sunny

Partly Sunny

Rainy

The weather forecaster will automatically read the atmospheric

pressure and predict the weather conditions for the next 12

hours; this is based on calculations only and may not be

representative of conditions. After initial set-up, the unit may

need 12-24 hours to read atmospheric pressure.

Pressure Trend Indicator:

Pressure trend icons indicate steady, falling, or rising pressure.

The pressure trend indicator will refresh every hour. The arrow

shown indicates:

Steady

Falling

Storm Alert:

The cloud and rain icon will flash when the sensor detects

stormy conditions.

Day/Night Icon:

The sun (indicating daytime) will change to the moon and stars

(indicating nighttime) after 9:10 pm (21:10). The nighttime

indicator will remain until 5:10 am (05:10), at which time the

daytime indicator returns.
