Product Description

Monitor outdoor temperatures from multiple locations by adding this additional remote sensor to your Taylor digital temperature system. For use with Taylor's digital thermometer models 1453, 1456, and 1461, the digital sensor transmits precise outside conditions to the base unit so users can plan appropriately for brisk or hot weather.

The weatherproof sensor can stand alone or mount on a wall or post via an enclosed bracket. An LCD display indicates temperatures in 2/3-inch high digits, plus includes a low battery indicator. Users may opt to read the temperatures in Celsius or Fahrenheit degrees. Outdoor temperature measurement capabilities range from -4 to +140 degrees F. In colder climates, the use of lithium batteries with the sensor allows users to monitor temperatures as low as -40 degrees F. The sensor can transmit information to the base unit from up to 100 feet. To extend this range, or to detect the temperature of a swimming pool or fish pond, Taylor includes a removable 11-foot cable with the sensor. This product requires the separate purchase of a compatible 1453, 1456, or 1461 base unit and two AA alkaline batteries. The sensor measures 3 by 2-3/4 by 1 inches and weighs 1 pound. This item is covered by a one-year, limited warranty. --Jessica Reuling

Worked for 5 days

Comment:

I ordered the indoor unit and 2 outdoor units. I had trouble from the start getting 2 outdoor units to work properly on 2 channels. one unit I put near my pool under my deck with the probe in the water. The probe worked for a week, the second probe wouldn't work at all. The unit under the deck work for 2 weeks and quit. The other outdoor unit was in a window between the glass and screen to get outdoor temperature. It worked for about a month. Only the indoor unit works now.

Summary: Good Until The Infestation
Comment: I've had the 1457 and an indoor receiver for a little over a year. It work fine until ants nested in it. I assume they entered through the holes in the bottom. It no longer works. I may buy another though, as I was happy with it until it quit.

Taylor Digital Outdoor Thermometers

Comment:

My system consists of 1 'home' (inside) unit (#1453) and 3 remote (outside) units (#1457). The home unit reads its own temperature plus one of the remote unit's. The other remote temperatures are read by repeatedly pushing a 'channel' button to cycle through all 3 remote units (the maximum allowed number of remote units).

I have two complaints with the system, one minor, one major. The first (minor) is that the read-out area on the home unit is small and not illuminated even by a button. The second (major) is that the remote sensors are distance-limited to about 50 feet unless there is a completely clear path between the home and remote units. (The maximum range stated in the instruction booklet is 100 feet.) I had extreme difficulty setting up my remote and home units so that all 3 remote units' signals were received and displayed by the home unit. More design work is needed so the 'next generation' does not suffer from this same limitation.
