* The TX60U-IT sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area. Please avoid a location with direct sun, as that will cause incorrect readings. Fog and mist will not harm the TX60U-IT sensor but direct rain must be avoided. Note: Exposing the TX60U-IT sensor case to extreme humidity may temporarily disrupt data. The sensor case reads humidity, but should not be submerged in water. The included 6 ft. probe can be used for measuring water temperature. The TX60U-IT sensor has a wireless range of 200 feet (60.96 m). Keep in mind that the 200 ft range equates to open air with no obstructions, and that radio waves DO NOT curve around objects. Actual transmission range will vary depending on what is in the path of the signal. Each obstruction (roof, walls, floors, ceilings, thick trees, etc.) will effectively cut signal range in half. Example: lf the TX60U-IT Sensor, with a 200.feet (60.96 m) range, is mounted on an exterior wail, the signal must then pass through one exterior wall, one interior wall, and across the 10 feet (3 m) width of the room between the 2 wails to reach the Weather Direct Gateway. The first wail will reduce the range to 100 feet (30.48 m), and the second wall will reduce the range to 50 feet (15.24m). Factoring in the 10 foot room, this leaves amaximum of 40 feet (12.2 m) of remaining signal range. This allowance ts typically enough for a frame wall with non-metallic siding;
however certain materials can reduce range even further. Metal siding, stucco, and some types of glass can reduce signal range by as much as %
or more, compared to the 4 reduction typical of most obstructions. It is possible to receive a signal through these materials, however maximum range will be much less due to their tendency to absorb or reflect a much larger portion of the sensors signal. The TX60U-IT sensor measures and updates the temperature and humidity on the LCD every 6 seconds. Note: The data is stored on the device every 6 seconds but.is reported to the computer only at the intervals that you have selected in your online account (default is every 2 minutes). BEGIN SET UP First you must have a Weather Direct Gateway registered so that it can communicate with your new TX60U-IT sensor. If you do not already have a Gateway registered, begin by registering your Weather Direct Gateway online at: www.weatherdirect.com After successful online Weather Direct Gateway registration, you will use to following steps to "connect" both devices:
Step 1. Please make sure the TXGOU-IT sensor is 3 to 10 feet away from the Gateway during the registration process. Registration may fail if the device is too close or too far from the Gateway. Step 2. Install batteries into the TXGOQU-IT sensor.
(See Battery Installation below) Step 3. Press and release the button on the TX60U-IT Sensor. Step 4. Press and release the button on the Weather Direct Gateway. Step 5. Wait approximately 10 seconds for the two devices to. make a connection. The LED.on the TX60U-IT sensor will turn ON to signal that it is trying to connect to the Gateway. Step 6. The LED on the TX60U-IT Wireless sensor will turn OFF once the device is successfully connected to the Gateway. Step 7. The channel number for connection will briefly display on the TX60U-IT LCD and the LED will light up for approximately 5 seconds. Then, the LCD will alternate the measurement values for channel 1 and 2:
oO CHANNEL 1: Measurement received by the internal temperature and humidity sensor within the sensor body. CHANNEL 2: Measurement received by the optional external temperature probe. "nC" will be displayed if no probe is attached. Note: If registration fails, the LCD on the TX60U-IT will display "1 and LED will continue to blink in sets of three. If this happens, please return to Step 3 to restart the setup process. OPTIONAL CHANNEL 2 TEMPERATURE PROBE lf the optional probe for the TXG6QU-IT sensor is unplugged, the LCD on the TX60U-IT sensor will display "nC" for the CHANNEL 2 reading. The probe can: be plugged into the TX60U-IT sensor at anytime without resetting the units. ONLINE ACCOUNT SETUP TX60U-IT ONLINE REGISTRATION / CONFIGRUATION Please log in to your account on www.weatherdirect.com and follow the online instructions to register and configure the TX60U-IT sensor so that you may begin collecting measurement logs. You may select your desired transmission period
(2, 5, 10, 20 minutes) and input your alarm settings for temperature and humidity. Note: To delete or reset the TX6QU-IT sensor from your account, press and hold the button on the sensor until the LCD displays a full segment and then delete the record in your Weather Direct account. WARNING: If you do this, you will have to re-register your device. AUTOMATIC SPREADSHEET CREATION OF MEASUREMENT LOG Once your TX60U-IT sensor is set up on your www.weatherdirect.com account and is building a measurement log, you can. download.the data to your computer in the form of a spreadsheet. You have the option to either: save the file to your hard drive" or "open it directly from the website. You must have an application on your computer that supports Microsoft Excel formatted files for this option to work. Please refer to the documentation on www.weatherdirect.com for more information. 1 YEAR OF NOTIFICATIONS IS INCLUDED WITH INITIAL SENSOR ACTIVATION ON YOUR WWW.WEATHERDIRECT.COM ACCOUNT:
Once the TXSOU-IT sensor is set up on your www.weatherdirect.com account, you may choose to activate the optional cell phone / e-mail notifications:
(1) If temperature or humidity exceed your defined range
(2) If connection is lost
(3) lf batteries are low _ BATTERY INSTALLATION 1. Remove the battery cover by sliding the cover down. 2. Observing the correct polarity install 2 AAA, Alkaline batteries. The batteries will fit tightly (to avoid start-up problems make sure they do not spring free). 3. Replace the battery cover by sliding upwards. Be sure battery cover is on securely. LOW BATTERY INDICATOR When baiteries are low, the low battery indicator show up on the LCD. You will receive an e-mail or cellular notification (if notifications have been configured) when the battery power of the TX60U-IT sensor is low. Change the batteries immediately. Note: The LED turns ON briefly after changing batteries. However, the LED turns OFF if there is no Weather Direct Gateway connected. The previously stored information in the TX60U-IT sensor will not be affected or cancelled while you change the batteries. MOUNTING THE TX60U-IT TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY SENSOR The TX60U-IT sensor can be mounted onto a wall with the use of screws MOUNTING WITH SCREWS 1. Remove the mounting bracket from the TX60U-IT sensor. 2. Place the mounting bracket over the desired location. 3. Mark the mounting surface with a pencil through the two Ms | >
screw holes of the bracket,. 4. Screw the mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. Ensure that the screws are tight against the bracket. 5, Insert the TX60U-IT sensor into the bracket. TABLE STANDING AND OTHER MOUNTING OPTIONS With the mounting bracket installed at the bottom or on the top of the TX60U-IT sensor, the user can place it on any flat surface. Note:
Before permanenily fixing the TX60U-IT sensor wall base, place all _ units in the desired locations to check that the outdoor temperature &
humidity readings are receivable. In event that the signal is not received, relocate the TX60U-IT sensor or move them slightly as this may help the signal reception. MAINTENANCE AND CARE e Extreme temperatures, vibration, and shock should be avoided to prevent damage to the units. Clean displays and units with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents; they may mark the displays and casings. Do not submerge the sensor case in water. Avoid kinking the temperature probe cable. Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Opening the casings invalidates the warranty. Do not try to repair the unit. Contact La Crosse Technology for repairs.
