Probed Thermometer Assembly
Note: Do not use rechargeable batteries. They have a lower operating voltage and discharge faster than
non-rechargeable batteries and will result in short transmission ranges. We recommend fresh alkaline
batteries for temperature ranges between -4 °F and 140 °F and fresh lithium batteries for temperature ranges
between -40 °F and 140 °F.
Remove the battery door on the back of the sensor by removing the set screw, as shown in Figure
27.

BEFORE inserting the batteries, locate the dip switches on the inside cover of the lid of the

Channel Number: The sensor supports up to eight transmitters. To set each channel number (the
default is Channel 1), change Dip Switches 1, 2 and 3, as referenced in Table 1.
Temperature Units of Measure: To change the transmitter display units of measure (°F vs. °C),
change Dip Switch 4, as referenced in Table 1.
