Battery compartmentSocket forThermo-HygroSensorSocket forAdaptorPC COMPortTX13U Temperature/ Humidity SensorThe TX13U temperature/ humidity sensor is used in conjunction withthe TX12U wind sensor and TX11U rain sensor to gather and transmitinformation to the WS-3610 series wireless weather station. TheTX13U temperature/ humidity sensor measures the temperature andhumidity of the location it is mounted. This sensor then transmits alloutdoor weather information from the three outdoor sensors to thedisplay indoors.INVENTORY OF CONTENTS1. TX13U temp/ humidity sensor2. Mounting hardware3. Instruction manual and warranty cardSETTING UPFirst, choose to use the adaptor (included in this set) or batteries foroperation. Both these methods allow for operation using wireless433MHz transmission or cable connection between the base stationand the sensors and setting up for both methods is as follows:Base Station:SETTING UP USING BATTERIES:Important: To avoid operating problems, please take note ofbattery polarity if inserting any batteries. Also do notpress any buttons after start up until all sensorinformation has been displayed and the radiocontrolled time has set. Doing so may interruptcommunication between the sensors and display orinterrupt the WWVB time reception.1) Pull away the rain cover of the thermo-hygrosensor to reveal the three sockets (for the windsensor, rain sensor and the base station)2) Connect the attached cables of wind and rainsensors to the corresponding sockets of thethermo-hygro sensor by clicking them into place3) Open the battery cover of the thermo-hygrosensor located below the three sockets and insert2 x C, IEC LR14, 1.5V batteries and close thecover4) Open the base station’s battery cover located atthe back of the unit and insert 3 x AA, IEC LR6,1.5V batteries into the battery compartment andclose the battery coverSETTING UP USING THE AC ADAPTOR:1) Power up all the sensors as described in setting up usingbatteries above2) Using the AC adaptor (included), plug it into the mainsoutlet and power up the base station by inserting theadaptor jack into the DC 6.0V socket located on the side ofthe base stationEvery time the thermo-hygro sensor is powered up (for example aftera change of batteries), a random security code is transmitted and thiscode must be synchronized with the base station to receive weatherdata.When the base station is powered up, a short beep will sound and allLCD segments will light up for about 5 seconds before it enters into a15 minute learning mode to learn the sensors security code. After thelearning mode (or by pressing the MIN/MAX key at anytime), the basestation will start the WWVB radio controlled time reception.NOTE FOR WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME:The time and date display is based on the signal provided by thehighly accurate government operated atomic clock in Ft. Collins,Colorado. This radio-controlled clock does not only provide for theweather station’s time and date display but also functions as the timeand date source for all of this weather station’s memory and historyvalues using time and date information.MOUNTING THE THERMO-HYGRO SENSORAn ideal mounting place for the thermo-hygro sensor would be theouter wall beneath the extension of a roof, as this will protect thesensor from direct sunlight and other extreme weather conditions.To wall mount, use the 2 screws to affix the wall bracket to the desiredwall, plug in the thermo-hygro sensor to the bracket and secure bothparts by the use of the supplied screw and ensure that the cables fromthe wind and rain sensors are correctly plugged in otherwise datatransmission errors could occur.NOTE: For best 433 MHz reception mount the thermo-hygrosensor on an outside wall near the location of the base station.BatteryCompartmentBattery CoverThermo-Hygro SensorSensorsocketsRain CoverWall BracketMain UnitSensor sockets
