How Do I Set The Channel Number Using The Dip Switches In The Sensor?
To set the dip switches in an 8 channel sensor, there are three dip switches with 8 different combinations.
DIP SWITCH | FUNCTION | |||
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | |
DOWN | DOWN | DOWN | — | Channel 1 |
UP | DOWN | DOWN | — | Channel 2 |
DOWN | UP | DOWN | — | Channel 3 |
UP | UP | DOWN | — | Channel 4 |
DOWN | DOWN | UP | — | Channel 5 |
UP | DOWN | UP | — | Channel 6 |
DOWN | UP | UP | — | Channel 7 |
UP | UP | UP | — | Channel 8 |
— | — | — | DOWN | °F |
— | — | — | UP | °C |
After you set the dip switches, you must always power down and up the remote sensor by removing and reinserting the batteries for the change to take effect.
Why do we do it this way instead of an 8 position switch? The reason is 8 position switches are much more difficult to implement, less reliable and takes up more space.
