Receiver batteries require replacement when the battery icon is shown on the display. Note: Low battery power may result in poor transmission and inaccurate readings.Ideally the transmitter channel should be changed before that on the display unit by the taking the following steps:Remove the batteries. Press and hold the round button whilst at the same time re-installing the batteries. The LED on the front will illuminate. Release the button, then immediately press it the same number of times as the desired channel number e.g. Press 5 times for Channel 5. The LED on the front will then flash (brightly) the same number of times as the channel selected before emitting the normal low intensity flash coincidental with the update rate. The transmitter channel is now redefined.Now change the channel number on the display unit to match the channel number on the transmitter by using the Arrow buttons. Press Oval Button A to store information.Option 008 - Dual TariffThe word dUAL is displayed. Press the left arrow to switch the dual tariff mode ON and the right arrow to switch OFF.If dUAL is ON, you will need to enter the following details:(i) Time off-peak starts(ii) The off-peak unit rate(iii) Time off-peak endsOption 009 – Rotational Mode.‘rot’ will appear on the screen. Select ON to display chosen modes sequentially (4 seconds)NOTE: Display selection is controlled by Option 006.Option 010 – Clear memoryOption 011 – Temperature adjustment.Use this option to calibrate the temperature display against a known standard – i.e. If Eco-eye displays a reading which is known to be 1.5°c too high, select -1.5 and press the oval button. ‘Clr’ will appear on the screen. This will clear all stored history. Press and hold either arrow button followed by the Oval button until - - - - is displayed. Once this has been done data cannot be retrieved. For further information,see the FAQs and Technical Support pagesat www.eco-eye.com Signal StrengthThe handshake icon (bottom left of screen) is used to denote the following:Long on, short off = good signalLong off, short on = weak signalNo icon visible = no signal Improving Eco-eye ReceptionCertain site conditions can give rise to reduced transmission /reception strength which can affect performance or produce rogue readings. This situation can be improved by fitting the optional antenna as shown below using the screw provided.Channel Identification When batteries are installed into the transmitter, the LED flashes to indicate the programmed channel number e.g.: Channel 2 is defaultand will flash twice. See Section 8 for information on changing channels. Note: The channel number on both the transmitter and the display need to be the same.Changing the batteries without losing dataWhen the Eco-eye receiver/display unit indicates that the batteries need to be replaced, follow this procedure in order to retain any collected data.Press and hold the oval button, then press the right arrow button. The message S.toP will appear on the screen which means that transmis-sion has stopped and the unit is in sleep mode. Once the batteries are removed you have 25 seconds to replaced them.

Option 003 - Changing the voltage.If you know the precise voltage of your supply, you can change the default voltage value. Setting the precise value will increase accuracy.
