Oregon scientific model no rar186 how to set up outdoors sensor
I have had this Oregon Scientific model RAR186 unit for years and it works great. The only issue I ever have is when the batteries need to be changed in the remote sensor unit (Oregon scientific model #THN122). It never fails that once I change the batteries that the unit does not send a signal to the base unit. I will often hit the reset button and change the channels on the remote sensor before I finally remember that you need to do the following to get the sensor to talk to the RAR186 base unit:
On the base unit (RAR186), hold down the CHANNEL and MEM buttons for at least two seconds.
You will then see a graphic appear above the channel number that shows that it is searching for the sensor.
Within a minute, you will then see the temperature displayed for the sensor showing that they are communicating.
This is buried in the manual that you probably discarded as did I.
Apparently, if your sensor is broken, you can either search to find a new sensor of the same model or also use the following sensors: THC138, THGR122NX, or THN132N
I have not needed to replace the sensor as once I found the instructions to reset the communication between the sensor and base unit, all was fine. Hope this helps someone. I wrote this instruction using a Sharpie on the inside cover of the sensor since you have to remove 3 screws to replace the AAA batteries (2) in hopes I will remember next time and not waste my time searching the internet and not find the answer. Good luck!

Will one of the newer sensors work in place of my 1457 sensor?
It's possible that one of the newer sensors could work in place of your 1457 sensor, but it depends on the specifications of the newer sensors and the compatibility with your base unit. The I MAX1457 sensor, which is a highly integrated analog-sensor signal processor optimized for piezoresistive sensor calibration and compensation. However, I have no information about its compatibility. If you're looking for a replacement sensor, I suggest contacting the manufacturer of your base unit to inquire about compatible sensors. Alternatively, you can check the user manual of your base unit to see if it lists compatible sensors. Garage door opener sensors are not universal. Safety sensors can only communicate with garage door openers from the same brand.
How can I adjust the time on my weather station model #sgr72914?
- Access the Time Setting Mode:
- Locate the 'Set' or 'Settings' button on your weather station. This button is typically found on the front or the back of the unit.
- Press and hold the 'Set' or 'Settings' button for about 3 to 5 seconds. This action should access the time setting mode, where you can adjust the time.
- Adjust Hour and Minutes:
- Once in the time setting mode, use the 'Up' or '+' button to increase the hours and the 'Down' or '-' button to decrease the hours.
- After setting the correct hour, press the 'Set' or 'Settings' button again to move to the minutes setting.
- Use the 'Up' or '+' and 'Down' or '-' buttons to adjust the minutes accordingly.
- Confirm the Time:
- Once you have set the correct time, press the 'Set' or 'Settings' button again to confirm and exit the time setting mode.
- Check the Time Display:
- After setting the time, check the display to ensure that the time is displayed correctly.
