Console Pairing
To prompt your Display Console to look for the sensor once it’s
powered up, please refer to the Sensor Search Mode section of
the relevant User Guide. This will lead you through the process
of prompting your CM7058/CM7015 Display Console to search
for the new sensor and allow you measure an additional set of
temperature and humidity readings from a different location. If you
have misplaced your console manual, copies can be found at www.
climemet.com/manuals.
Sensor Placement
Once everything is set up correctly with the Display Console
receiving temperature and humidity readings from your CM7
Sensors, you can re-locate them as desired - ensuring that they
remain within 100-metre transmission range of the console.
To achieve accurate temperature measurements, avoid mounting
the sensor in a position where it will be subject to direct sunlight –
your sensor will measure most accurately in a shaded, North-facing
position.
Exposure to direct sunlight can have a massive impact on what the
CM7 Sensor measures as it will cause the sensor itself to warm up
and retain heat for some time - meaning you won’t be taking a true
air temperature measurement.
Look for a suitable position where the sensor can have shelter
from the sun and will not be inuenced by other external factors.
For example - be sure to avoid spots that might be in the path of an
air conditioning unit, or in the proximity of a dark surface that will
radiate heat on a sunny day.
The CM7 Sensor can be situated either indoors or outdoors, but
when located outside it’s best to consider the long-term effects of
direct sunlight and prolonged rainfall – placement that provides
shelter from both will help to extend the lifespan of your sensor.
The sensor is designed for outdoor use and can be considered
weatherproof, but it is not fully waterproof and is unable to
withstand being submerged.
The sensor can be placed vertically or horizontally if suitable, or
attached more securely using the keyhole hook on the rear side.
Low Battery Indicator
Over time, the batteries in the CM7 Sensor will run down and need
to be replaced. We recommend not using rechargeable batteries,
as these do not tend to be compatible with this type of device. For
the best results, lithium-based batteries will be most dependable
and have the longest lifespan. When the battery power of the CM7
is low, a battery icon will display next to the sensor’s temperature
measurement on the Display Console to indicate that replacements
are required.
Radio Signal:
Transmission Range: 100 metre line of sight, measured in an open
eld. Obstructions such as trees, walls and so on will impact this
range in varying amounts dependent on the type of material:
Medium RF Signal Strength Reduction
Glass (untreated) 5-15%
Plastics 10-15%
Wood 10-40%
Brick 10-40%
Concrete 40-80%
Metal 90-100%
Transmission Frequency: 433 MHz
Update Interval: 60 Seconds from CM7 Sensor

Battery Life:
Dependent upon battery quality, but minimum of 12 months in
normal usage. Lithium batteries will work more-reliably in colder
climates below 20°C.

Conguring Measurement Units
The fourth switch along is responsible for setting the measuring
units of each particular sensor. If it’s left in the UP position it will
measure the temperature in Celsius (°C) whereas moving it to the
DOWN position will prompt the sensor to measure in Fahrenheit
(°F) instead. Be sure to check that this is set as desired before
powering the sensor up in order for it to adjust immediately. If you
wish to change this later down the line, you’ll also need to reset the
sensor (by removing and re-inserting the batteries) to prompt this
change to take effect.
Battery Installation
Once you’ve checked the channel and units of your CM7 Sensor
are set correctly, power it up by inserting 2 x AAA batteries. The
LED indicator will illuminate briey to conrm that the sensor is
operational.
Note: To avoid operating problems please check the polarity when
inserting the batteries, as inserting them incorrectly can potentially
cause permanent damage to the circuitry of the sensor. Use good
quality alkaline or lithium batteries and avoid using rechargeable
varieties, as these are generally unsuitable for this type of device.
Make sure to replace the battery cover and tighten it securely to
prevent any moisture from making its way into the battery port.
