USER'S MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the RMR183/RMR183U

Long-Range (60 meters) Multi-Channel In-Out Thermometer with

433MHz cable free sensor and radio-controlled calendar clock.

Thebasicpackagecomeswithamainunit,whichisthetemperature

and calendar clock station, and a remote unit, the thermo sensor.

The main unit has a large display for indoor temperature,

calendar clock and temperatures collected and transmitted by the

remote unit. The main unit can support up to three remote units.

The main unit is capable of keeping track of the maximum and

minimum temperature of different sites. No wire installation is

required as the RMR183/RMR183U operates at 433MHz.

As for the calendar clock, it is radio-controlled. It automatically

synchronizes its current time and date when it is brought within an

approximate 1500km radius of the radio signal generated from

Frankfurt, Germany (DCF77) (or Radio signal MSF-60 from

Rugby, England for UK version).

You can also set the calendar clock manually when it is off range.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

For best operation,

1. Assign different channels to different remote units.

2. Insert batteries for remote units before doing so for the main

unit.

3. Place the main unit as close as possible next to the remote unit

and reset the main unit after installing batteries. This will

ensure easier synchronization between the transmission and

reception of signals.

4. Position the remote unit and main unit within effective trans-

mission range, which is 60 meters in open area.

Black

Note:

1. Replace batteries when the low-battery indicator of a

particular channel activates on the main unit.

2. Once a channel is assigned to a remote unit, it can only be

changed by removing the batteries or resetting the unit.

BATTERY INSTALLATION: MAIN UNIT

1. Open the battery compartment door.

2. Install 2 batteries (UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V) strictly according

to the polarities shown.

3. Replace the battery compartment door.

LOW BATTERY WARNING

When it is time to replace batteries, the low-battery indicator will

show up when the corresponding channel is selected. The battery

level of the main unit will be shown on the indoor temperature

when it is running low.

Note that the effective range is vastly affected by the building

materials and where the main and remote units are positioned. Try

various set-ups for best result.

Though the remote units are weather proof, they should be placed

away from direct sunlight, rain or snow.

BATTERY INSTALLATION AND

CHANNEL SETTING: REMOTE UNIT

The remote unit uses two (2) UM-4 or “AAA” size 1.5V batteries.

Installation:

1. Remove the screws on the battery compartment.

2. Select the channel on the CHANNEL slide switch.

3. Insert the batteries strictly according to the polarities shown.

4. Replace the battery compartment door and screws.

THE RESET BUTTON

This button is only used when the unit is operating in an unfavor-

able way or malfunctioning. Use a blunt stylus to hold down the

button. All settings will return to their default values.

GETTING STARTED

Once batteries are in place for the remote units, they will start

transmitting temperature readings at 30 second intervals.

The main unit will also start searching for signals for about a

minute once batteries are installed. Upon successful reception,

the individual channel temperatures will be displayed on the top

line and the indoor temperature on the second line. The main unit

will automatically update its readings at about 30-second inter-

vals.

If no signals are received, blanks "----" will be displayed and the

kinetic wave icon will show " ". Press [CHANNEL] and

[MEMORY] simultaneously to enforce another search for about

30 seconds. This is useful in synchronizing the transmission and

reception of the remote and main units.

Repeat this step whenever you find discrepancies between the

reading shown on the main unit and that on the corresponding

remote unit.

HOW TO USE THE TABLE STAND

OR WALL MOUNTING

The main unit has a removable table stand, which when installed,

can support the unit on a flat surface. Or you can remove the stand

and mount the unit on a wall using the recessed screw hole.

As for the remote unit, it comes with a wall-mount holder and a

removable stand. Use either to hold the unit in place.

HOW TO CHECK REMOTE AND

INDOOR TEMPERATURES

The indoor temperature is shown on the second line of the display.

As for the remote sites or channels, press [CHANNEL] to go from

one channel to another. The kinetic wave display on the channel

number indicates if the reception of that particular channel is in

good order.

If no readings are received from one particular channel for more

than two minutes, blanks “---” will be displayed until further

readings are successfully searched. Check if the remote unit

is sound and secure. You can wait for a little while or press

[CHANNEL] and [MEMORY] simultaneously to enforce an

immediate search. Of course no reading will be shown if no remote

unit is assigned to that channel.

If the temperature goes above or below the temperature measuring

range of the main unit or the remote unit (stated in specification),

the display will show “HHH” or “LLL”.

TEMPERATURE TREND

The temperature trend indicator on the screen shows the trend of

samplings collected at that particular remote site. Three trends,

rising, steady and falling, will be shown.

MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM

TEMPERATURES

The maximum and minimum recorded indoor temperatures and

those of outdoor channels will be automatically stored in memory.

To display them:

1. Select the channel to be checked.

2. Press [MEMORY] once to display the maximum temperature

and again the minimum temperature. The respective indicators,

MAX or MIN will be displayed.

Toclearthememory,holddown[MEMORY]for two seconds.The

maximum and minimum temperatures will be erased. If you press

[MEMORY] now, the maximum and minimum temperatures will

have the same values as the current ones until different readings

are recorded.

NOTE ON °C AND °F

The unit of temperature display is selected with the °C/°F slide

switch. Select °C for Centigrade or °F for Fahrenheit.

HOW TO READ

THE KINETIC WAVE DISPLAY

The kinetic wave display shows the signal receiving status of the

main unit. There are three possible forms:

DISCONNECTED SIGNALS

If without obvious reasons the display for a particular channel

goes blank, press [CHANNEL] and [MEMORY] to enforce an

immediate search. If that fails, check:

1. The remote unit of that channel is still in place.

2. The batteries of both the remote unit and main unit. Replace as

necessary.

Note: When the temperature falls below freezing point, the

batteries of outdoor units will freeze, lowering their voltage

supply and the effective range.

3. The transmission is within range and path is clear of obstacles

and interference. Shorten the distance when necessary.

TRANSMISSION COLLISION

Signals from other household devices, such as door bells, home

security systems and entry controls, may interfere with those of

this product and cause temporary reception failure. This is normal

and does not affect the general performance of the product. The

transmission and reception of temperature readings will resume

once the interference recedes.

CALENDAR AND ALARM TIME DISPLAY

The calendar and alarm time share the same section of display. The

calendar is displayed in day-month format. When the calendar is

displayed, pressing [ALARM] once will change the display to the

alarm time. Another press on the button will activate the alarm. A

third press will deactivate it.

To display the calendar, press [MODE] once.

ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION

The RMR183/RMR183U is designed to automatically synchronize

its calendar clock once it is brought within range of the Frankfurt

DCF77radio signal. (Rugby MSF-60 Radio signal forUKversion).

When the RMR183/RMR183U is within range, the radio-con-

trolled mechanism will override all manual settings.

When the unit is receiving radio signal, the radio-reception Signal

will start to blink. Generally, complete reception take 2 to 10

minutes depending on the strength of the radio signal.

The unit is in searching mode.

Temperature readings are

securely registered.

No signals.

To enable the feature again, hold down the [ ] and [ ] buttons

again. The radio-reception signal will start blinking to initiate

reception automatically.

HOW TO SET THE CALENDAR CLOCK

MANUALLY

When the calendar is displayed, press [MODE] for two seconds.

The month digits will start to blink.

Enter the month using the [ ] and [ ] buttons. Hold down either

button to rapidly increase or decrease the value.

Press [MODE] to confirm and proceed to set the day, display
