QUICK SETUP  
1. Insert two AAA batteries into the Remote  
Control Sender.  
2. Insert two AA batteries into the Indoor  
Temperature Station.  
3. Wait 5-6 minutes, or until the outdoor  
temperature is displayed in the OUTDOOR  
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) of the Indoor  
Temperature Station.  
4. Set the Time (See complete instructions  
for details).  
5. Mount units.  
Note: The Remote Control Sender transmits a  
signal every 3 minutes. After the batteries have  
been installed, the Indoor Temperature Station  
searches for these signals for a duration of 6  
minutes. If there is no temperature reading in  
the OUTDOOR LCD after 6 minutes, make  
sure the units are within range of each other, or  
repeat battery installation process.

DETAILED SETUP GUIDE  
I. BATTERY INSTALLATION  
A. REMOTE CONTROL SENDER  
Battery cover  
Battery compartment  
1. Remove the mounting bracket.  
The bracket snaps on and off with  
minimal effort.  
2. Remove battery cover. To do this,  
remove the flathead screw located  
in the lower-central position of the  
unit. The rubber weather-seal  
creates a tight seal for the battery  
cover, and does not allow the  
3
 
battery cover to fall away from the  
unit. Place the screw partially  
back into the hole and angle it  
slightly, so the threads grab the  
battery cover. With the screw,  
pull the battery cover off.  
3. Observing the correct polarity,  
install 2 AAA batteries. The  
batteries will fit tightly—make  
sure they do not spring free, or  
start-up problems may occur.  
4. Check the LCD screen of the  
Remote Control Sender to see if  
there is a temperature reading. If  
there is no reading check the  
polarity of the batteries or replace  
with new batteries.  
5. Observing that the rubber  
weather-seal is in place; replace  
battery  
cover,  
screw,  
and  
mounting bracket.

VI. READING THE TEMPERATURE  
TREND  
A. The temperature trend indicator is  
displayed in the OUTDOOR LCD.  
1. Ï Indicates that the temperature  
is rising.  
2. Ð Indicates that the temperature  
is dropping.  
3. The absence of an arrow indicates  
that the temperature is stable.  
VII. MOUNTING  
A. THE REMOTE CONTROL  
SENDER  
Note: To achieve a true temperature  
reading, avoid mounting where direct  
sunlight can reach the Remote Control  
Sender. We recommend that you mount  
the Sender on a North-facing wall. The  
sending range is 80ft; obstacles such as  
13  
 
walls, concrete, and large metal objects can  
reduce the range. Place both units in their  
desired location before permanently  
mounting the Remote Control Sender.  
There should be a change of temperature in  
the OUTDOOR LCD within 6 minutes.  
The Remote Control Sender can be mounted in  
two ways:  
with the use of screws or,  
using the adhesive tape.  
1. MOUNTING WITH THE  
SCREWS  
a) Remove the mounting bracket  
from the Remote Control  
Sender (figure 2).  
b) Place mounting bracket over  
desired location. Through the  
three screw holes of the  
bracket, mark the mounting  
surface with a pencil.  
14  
 
c) Where marked, drill holes  
into mounting surface using  
an appropriate size drill bit.  
d) Screw mounting bracket onto  
the mounting surface. Ensure  
that the screws are flush with  
the bracket.  
2. MOUNTING WITH  
ADHESIVE TAPE  
a) With a nonabrasive solution,  
clean and dry the back of the  
mounting bracket and the  
mounting surface to ensure a  
secure hold. The mounting  
surface should be smooth and  
flat.  
b) Remove the protective strip  
from one side of the tape.  
Adhere the tape to the  
designated area on the back of  
the mounting bracket.  
15  
 
c) Remove the protective strip  
from the other side of the  
tape. Position the Remote  
Control Sender in the desired  
location, ensuring that the  
Indoor Temperature Station  
can receive the signal.  
B. THE INDOOR TEMPERATURE  
STATION  
Note:  
Before mounting the Indoor  
Temperature Station make sure that it is  
able to receive signals from the Remote  
Control Sender.  
The Indoor Temperature Station can also  
be mounted in two ways:  
with the table stand or,  
on the wall with the use of a wall  
hanging screw (not included).  
16  
 
1. USING THE TABLE-STAND  
a) The Indoor Temperature  
Station comes with the table  
stand already mounted. If  
you wish to use the table-  
stand all that is required is to  
place the Indoor Temperature  
Station in an appropriate  
location.  
2. WALL MOUNTING  
17  
 
a) Remove the table stand. To  
do this, pull down on the  
stand from the rear and rotate  
forward.  
b) Fix a screw (not included)  
into the desired wall, leaving  
approximately 3/16 of an inch  
(5mm) extended from the  
wall.  
c) Place the Indoor Temperature  
Station onto the screw using  
the hanging hole on the  
backside. Gently pull the  
Station down to lock the  
screw into place.  
VIII.  
USING MULTIPLE REMOTE  
CONTROL SENDERS  
Your WS-7054U Indoor Temperature Station  
can receive signals from five different Remote  
Control Senders (The TX3U features  
temperature data transmission and the TX3UP  
18  
 
offers the same plus a 10’ probe to insert in a  
pool, spa, soil, etc.). Assign a number to each  
Remote Control Sender (i.e. #1 will be for  
outdoors, #2 will be for the basement, etc.).  
This will help you determine which  
temperature, from which Sender, you are  
reading on the Indoor Temperature Station.  
Note: When setting up multiple units it is  
important to insert batteries first into all the  
Remote Control Senders, and in numeric  
sequence. Second install batteries into the  
Indoor Temperature Station.  
Transmission  
problems will arise if this is not done correctly  
and if the total time for set-up exceeds 6  
minutes.  
19  
 
A. SETUP OF MULTIPLE UNITS  
1. It is necessary to remove the  
batteries from all existing units in  
operation.  
2. Remove the battery covers to all  
Remote Control Senders. See  
section I.A.2.

20  
 
5. Install batteries into the Indoor  
Temperature Station. (Refer to  
instructions in I.B.).  
6. Follow directions in section II.A  
to set the time, section III.A to  
select Fahrenheit or Celsius, and  
section VII. A to mount.  
B. VIEWING MULTIPLE REMOTE  
CONTROL SENDERS ON THE  
INDOOR TEMPERATURE  
STATION

now reading the temperature of  
the Remote Control Sender you  
designated as #2.  
21  
 
3. Repeat step 1 to view the 3rd, 4th,  
and 5th (depending on how many  
are set up) temperatures sent by  
the Remote Control Senders.  
Continue to press RESET until you  
return to the first Remote Control  
Sender.  
C. VIEWING THE FEATURES OF  
MULTIPLE REMOTE CONTROL  
SENDERS  
1. Press the RESET button to select  
the Remote Control Sender you  
wish to view.  
2. To

view  
the  
OUTDOOR  
directions in section IV.B. While,  
in this mode press the RESET  
button to toggle through different  
Remote Control Senders and view  
22  
 
their minimum and maximum  
temperatures.  
3. To  
reset  
the  
OUTDOOR  
MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM  
TEMPERATURES, follow step 1  
above and the directions in  
sections V.A. through V.B. This  
will reset the minimum and  
maximum for only the selected  
Remote Control Sender.
