SEARCH FOR SENSOR
SWITCH OPTION
To search for a sensor, press and hold MEMORY and
CHANNEL (on the main unit) for 2 seconds.
Channel Channel 1-3. If you are using more than
one sensor, select a different channel for
each sensor.
NOTE If the sensor is still not found, check the batteries,
obstructions, and remote unit location.
3. Set the channel. The switch is located in the battery
compartment.
NOTE Signals from household devices such as doorbells,
electronic garage doors, and home security systems
may cause temporary reception failure. This is normal
and does not affect general product performance. The
reception will resume once the interference ends.
4. Place the sensor near the main unit. Press RESET
on the sensor. Then, press and hold MEMORY and
CHANNEL on the main unit to initiate signal sending
between the sensor and the main unit. The reception
icon on the main unit will blink for approximately 3
minutes while it is searching for the sensor. (Refer to
the “Sensor Data Transmission” section for more
information.)
CLOCK
The clock automatically synchronizes the current time
and date when it is brought within range of the radio
signal DCF77 generated from Frankfurt, Germany for
Central Europe (model BAR629HG) or MSF60 generated
from Rugby, England (model BAR629HGU).
5. Close the remote sensor battery compartment.
6. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the
wall mount or table stand.
For best results:
NOTE The signals are collected by the main unit when
it is within 1500 km (932 miles) of a signal.
•
Insert the batteries and select the channel before
you mount the sensor.
Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes, and is initiated when
you first setup the unit, and whenever you press RESET.
Once complete, the reception icon will stop blinking. The
icon is shown in the Clock Area.
•
•
Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.
Do not place the sensor more than 30 metres
(98 feet) from the main (indoor) unit.
Position the sensor so that it faces the main
(indoor) unit, minimizing obstructions such as
doors, walls, and furniture.
