The 00782 Indoor/Outdoor Wireless
Thermometer monitors and displays the indoor
temperature plus the temperature in one outdoor or other remote location by means of the included
thermo sensor. Unlike some
temperature stations, the 00782 simultaneously displays the indoor and
outdoor temperatures, so you don't have to actively select one or the
other for viewing.
Temperatures are displayed in °F only. Both the indoor
and outdoor temperature digits are
about 1/2 inch tall, with tenths of a degree about half that size. The
remote temperature sensor that comes with the 00782 Wireless
Thermometer is white to match the main unit. This is a non-displaying
sensor that can either be wall-mounted or placed on a flat surface. Operating
(indoor) temperature range of the main unit is 32°F to 122°F.
Operating temperature range of the included remote
sensor is 0°F to +130°F. As
mentioned above, both the main unit and the remote sensor can be wall-mounted or free-standing.
The main unit has an integral fold-out table stand, and the remote
simply sits on its base. The remote has a water-resistant
(splashproof) case, but for proper operation you must mount the remote
where direct rainfall and sunlight cannot fall
on it. Batteries are
not included with this product. You'll need 4 AAA (1.5V)
alkaline cells--2 for the main unit and 2 for the included remote sensor.
No display means that the batteries in the main unit need to be
replaced. When the remote sensor needs new batteries (or if it is moved
out of transmission range), three dashes (---) are continuously
displayed in the outdoor temperature section of the main unit's display.
You probably already know that alkaline batteries lose power and can
actually freeze as
temperatures fall to near 0°F and
below. Now that AAA lithium batteries are available, you may want to use
them in the remote instead of alkaline batteries when temperatures are
expected to remain below freezing for an extended period of time. If
you need a simple, compact, and inexpensive wireless thermometer that's
really easy to set up and use, the Acu-Rite 00782 is a fine choice. Small enough to fit almost anywhere, the 00782 Wireless Thermometer is perfect for any room in the house--or your office. It comes with a 1-year factory warranty.
