BATTERIES: WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BATTERIES?
• Good fresh batteries are important for best performance in your sensors and as backup in
your clock.
• Batteries with an expiration date of 2028, were manufactured in 2018.
• We recommend batteries with an expiration date 6 years in advance of the current year for
best performance.
• A minimum voltage of 1.48 v per battery is required for best performance.
• Lithium batteries may be used in outdoor sensors. Alkaline batteries for the clock.
HARDWARE: SENSORS AND STATION
Your WS-9160UV2 station comes with:
TX141-Bv3 433MHz RF.
WHAT ARE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS STATION?
TX141-Bv3: 2 “AA” batteries
WS-9160UV2: 2 “AA” batteries
SETUP: HOW DO I SETUP MY STATION?
1. Insert 2 “AA” batteries into your sensor and station.
2. Enter Basic Settings.
3. Allow up to 10 minutes for sensors to connect.
4. Place your sensors outside in appropriate locations.
MOUNTING: WHERE DO I MOUNT/POSITION MY SENSOR?
• Watch sensor mounting video: http://bit.ly/TH_SensorMounting
• Place your thermo-hygro sensor at least 6 feet off the ground.
• For accurate temperature readings your sensor needs to be shaded from the sun and in a
well ventilated area. Trapped moisture will cause inaccurate readings.
• Mount your sensor vertically to allow moisture to drain out the bottom.
• Preferred location is on a north facing wall under an eave or deck rail.
• Avoid placing near a metal roof that will cause it to read high on sunny days.
• Avoid other sources of heat such as soffit vents, and window or door frames.
• For accurate humidity readings, avoid placement near vegetation and lakes or other bodies
of water when possible.
• Maximum transmission distance from your thermos-hygro sensor to your station, in open air
is 330 feet (100 meters).
• Insert the mounting screw through the front of the transmitter and into the wall. Tighten the
screw to snug (do not over tighten).
