USER’S MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of Oregen Scientific's Cable-Free
Thermo-Hygro sensor.
Enclosed with this package is one (1) main display unit and one (1)
cable-free remote thermo-hygro sensor unit.
The main unit has an extra-large multifunction 2-line LCD that
shows recordings for indoor and outdoor temperatures, humidity,
maximum and minimum recordings and trend indicators. The unit
supports up to three 433MHz remote thermo-sensors or thermo-
hygro sensors. A variety of additional sensors can be purchased
separately.
In addition to monitoring maximum and minimum temperature and
humidity readings, the unit also has an alarm that can be set to
activate once readings exceed a given variance.
No wire installation is required between the main and remote units.
As the EMR963HG operates at 433MHz, it can be used in the U.S.
and most places in Continental Europe.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
To ensure proper functioning of the EMR963HG follow this setup
procedure.
For best operation:
1. Assign different channels to different remote units.
2. Insert batteries for remote units before doing so for the main unit
(see instructions for battery installation).
3. Place the main unit as close as possible next to the remote unit,
reset the main unit after installing batteries. This will ensure
easier synchronization between the transmission and reception
of signals.
4. Positiontheremoteunitandmainunitwithineffectivetransmission
range, which, in usual circumstances, is 20 to 30 meters.
Note that the effective range is vastly affected by the building
materialsandwherethemainandremoteunitsarepositioned.
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: MAIN UNIT
1. Remove the screws on the battery compartment.
The main unit uses two (2) UM-3 or “AA” size alkaline batteries.
2. Select the channel number on the CHANNEL slide switch.
3. Select the temperature display unit on the °C/°F slide switch.
Follow these steps to install / replace batteries:
1. Slide open the battery compartment door.
2. Insert the batteries strictly according to the polarities shown
therein.
3. Replace the battery compartment door.
4. Insert the batteries strictly according to the polarities shown
therein.
5. Replace the battery compartment door and secure its screws.
Replacethebatterieswhenthelow-batteryindicatoroftheparticular
channel lights up on the main unit. (Repeat the steps described in
section “BEFORE YOU BEGIN”)
Replace the batteries when the low-battery indicator of the indoors
temperature lights up. (Repeat the steps described in section
“BEFORE YOU BEGIN”)
Note that once a channel is assigned to a remote unit, you can
only change it by removing the batteries or resetting the unit.

Also, for approximately a 3-minute duration, the main unit will
automatically search for signals once batteries are installed. Upon
successful reception, the individual channel temperature reading
will be displayed on the top line and the respective humidity reading
on the bottom line. The main unit will automatically update its
readings at about 40-second intervals.

To display temperature / humidity readings from the main unit:
•
Press IN / REMOTE until a dot is displayed in the box under the
kinetic-wave.
If no signals are received, blanks “ --- ” will be displayed and the
kinetic wave icon will not show.

15 minutes, blanks “ --- ” will be displayed until further readings are
successfully searched. Check the remote sensor to ensure that it is
secure and that the correct channel has been selected. Optionally,
press and hold IN/REMOTE for 2-seconds to enforce a search.
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 respective remote
unit.

Upper and lower temperature and humidity limits for channel-1 can
be set so that an alarm activates when the limits are exceeded.
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
The high and low temperature and humidity displays are selected by
sequentially pressing HI/LO.
The maximum and minimum recorded temperature and humidity
readings will automatically be stored in the memory.
The high-low displays are as follows:

To disable an alarm:
Note:
1. Enter the setting mode by pressing HI/LO.
2. Then, press AL ON/OFF.
The temperature range is from -50°C (-58°F) to +70°C
(158°F).
The alarm has been disabled and will not sound at the previously set
limit.
Ifthisisthefirsttimeyousetthelimits,thelowerlimitwillstart
from -50°C (-58°F) and the upper limit +70°C (158°F).
Otherwise, the reading will start from the temperature last
selected.
To disable a sounding alarm:

DISCONNECTED SIGNALS
If without obvious reasons the display for a particular channel goes
blank, press IN/REMOTE to enforce an immediate search.
3. Repeat the steps to set the upper humidity setting and the lower
temperature and humidity settings.
4. When finished, press HI/LO to set another limit or wait
16-seconds and the unit will automatically return to the normal
display. The respective HI, LO or both indicators will light up
to signify the status of the alarm.
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.
If in another channel other than channel one is selected, when the
alarm activates the display will switch to channel-1 and the display
will flash. If left untouched, the alarm will activate for a 1-minute.
Press any key to momentarily stop the alarm. The alarm will activate
again if the limit continues exceeds the set limit.
Note that when the temperature falls below freezing point, the
batteries of outdoor units will freeze, lowering their voltage
supply and the effective range.
Note: If a second limit is passed while an alarm is active, the
first alarm will complete its 1-minute cycle and the alarm will
continue to activate for a second minute to indicate that a
second limit has been surpassed.
