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

Comment:
We have been using this product for about 7 years. This purchase was to add an additional station. We live in a very well insulated apartment with 2 balconies, one facing east, the other south. Were it not for this system, I would have no idea what the outside temperature is. The only maintenance seems to be to replace the batteries every couple of years.

Summary:
Incorrect temp reading
|
Comment:
I purchased this remote sensor for use in my hot tub, which is outside. I had had one before and it was great. However this unit indicates a temp of 8 to 10 degrees higher than what it actually is. Once you get used to that, than knowing that your hot tub is heated and at the correct temp before you run out into the cold to get into it is great. It is also good to monitor the temp in case your heating unit fails.

Annoyingly innacurate

Comment:
By the time I could prove it, it was out of warrantee. The outside temp reads 4 degrees high. We have the sensor for a different brand hanging right next to the Taylor and it is perfect when compared to a calibrated mercury thermometer. Also, the display contrast just isn't high enough to read from across the room.
We're looking for a different one.

Comment:
I've owned this product for 2 years, bought form Amazon. I got it to replace a LaCross system that died in 1 year. As a basic indoor outdoor it works fine - measured against a scientific mercury thermometer and an old Sunbeam bimetal dial and it is quite accurate. Battery life on both units is good. Drawbacks - when outside unit fails to register it is difficult to determine which units batteries have died. Today I replaced the outside unit batteries first as display inside was still strong. That required removal of 4 small screws and careful handling of an o-ring gasket, but as it turned out the problem was the batteries on the base unit needed replacing. The product would be better with an AC adapter for inside and a better gasket for the outside unit. Overall, I'm pleased with the unit. I don't want more complex systems as I can see whether or not it's raining or windy by looking out the window and the base unit is above the microwave and don't need another clock.
