In its battery compartment,
the 00955 has a button that selects either °F or °C for its own temperature
display. Regardless of the temperature unit selected on the 00955, the
associated main station displays temperatures in the unit for which it
is optioned. A second button labeled TX in the battery compartment initiates
temperature data transmission. The red LED on the front of the 00955
lights when transmission is occurring. Unlike
some remotes, the 00955 has no channel switch. If you are using multiple 00955s, you power up
the main unit first. You then power up and initiate transmission
from the 00955 you want to be Channel 1. You next do this for the
Channel 2 00955 and finally for the Channel 3 00955 (if used). If you
are using mixed 00955 and other remotes, you'll need to set the
channel switches on the remotes that have them before powering them up and initiating
transmission in the desired channel order. The temperature
measuring range of the 00955 is -4°F to +122°F (-20°C to +50°C) when
equipped with alkaline batteries. Temperature resolution is 0.1°F/C. The
00955 remote sensor can transmit up to 100 feet (30 meters) in an open
area with no interference. Normal walls should not reduce this range by
much, but metal and heavy concrete walls can reduce the range
significantly. Even though the 00955 is water-resistant, it is not
waterproof and should be mounted in a location where it is protected
from direct sunlight and direct precipitation (and this is stated on the back of the
package). For
powering, the 00955 requires two AAA (1.5V) alkaline batteries (not
included). Expected battery life is about 1 year. If temperatures are
expected to remain significantly below freezing for an extended time, we recommend
using lithium AAA batteries instead of alkaline. The display on the remote
may fade, but the remote should continue measuring and sending
temperature data. When the temperature warms back up, the display will
return. This compact remote temperature sensor is ideal for practically any indoor or
outdoor application that does not require a probe. Use it
outdoors or in your wine cellar, garage, basement or crawl space,
children's room, garden, greenhouse, or any other location where remote
temperature readings are beneficial. The Acu-Rite
00955 comes with a wall anchor, a mounting screw, and a 1-year factory
warranty.
