The instructions says you can change the presets. Can both sensors be set up as, say, freezer monitors?

I would guess they could be, but I could never get the main unit to read either sensor properly. I know this as I had several analog and digital thermometers in the refrigerator and freezer units and they gave the same reading while the sensor did not a reading even close to them. I returned my unit (and replacement unit). Sorry.

I believe it can. The default is sensor 1 set to frig and 2 the freezer. I switched it around. So you should be able to set your temp ranges to whatever you want.

I am not using that feature, but it should not matter if you want to use both of them....just a guess on my part at this point. It seemed totally arbitrary as to which one is used for the freezer. I just put them in based on position. #1 to the upper freezer, #2 to the lower fridge. I will check the instructions and let you know if it is different from what I just said.

Yes, you can use both as freezer monitors. If you wanted to use the alarms to alert you you would just need to manually set the min/max values for each of the alarms.

Yes, They are numbered ! & 2 and I have both in different freezers myself. Very happy with the monitors. They are very accurate, after reseting high and lows I saw the frost free cycle temp swing. I made one freezer colder to make ice-cream harder.

I believe you technically can by customizing the settings. The initial set up is for sensor 1 to be min 33F/ max 40F and sensor 2 is min -22F/ max 0F. I just tried making sensor 1's max lower than 0F and it didn't give me an error. That's all I can tell you.

YES! If you haven't purchased the unit yet, go to the Acu-Rite website (www.acurite.com which is also called Chaney Instrument Co.), find the model and download the instructions that come with the unit (this is a good idea anyway and that's what I did before ordering). Or, read the other Amazon reviews for additional info especially on what batteries can be used.

While I haven't tried to do it, I believe that you can add a sensor to this unit. I can't find it on Amazon, but here's the link to Home Depot. Again, I haven't tried it, but this is clearly the sensor that's with this unit. http://www.homedepot.com/p/t/202216934?productId=202216934&storeId;=10051&langId;=-1&catalogId;=10053&ci;_sku=202216934&cm;_mmc=shopping%2d%5f%2dgoogleads%2d%5f%2dpla%2d%5f%2d202216934&ci;_gpa=pla

no, the sensor is housed in that little thing sticking up out of the unit in the photo. it's connected by a short wire to the unit so i imagine you could cut it and attach your own sensor to it.

Yes I have been trying to use 2 of these, one for the Ref/Freezer in the kitchen and an another unit's single sensor in a freezer in the garage. Unfortunately they try to talk to each other and get messed up with which sensor to read and display. For example, I get the same reading for the freezer outside in the garage as I do inside the house, but I know they should be different readings. I also tried using one sensor in the garage freezer and another to read the ambient temperature outside, but still had the same kind of problems. Both would show the fridge temperature instead of separate readings for in the house and outside. I've been looking for alternatives (wireless) but have had no luck yet. The manufacture needs to add a switch to change the transmit frequency used for unit one and unit two.

Nope. The sensors and switches are all built in.Very easy to install the unit. Pick up some weather calking before installing unit. Takes 10 minutes to install.

I tried using another sensor from a different set along with the sensor that came with the receiver it did not work. Sorry.

YOU CAN. There is a cheaper way, just by an additional sensor and hook it up to the same HS-700. I have four sensors hooked up to mine.

you should be able to. I don't think there is a temperature limit on the sensor.

You are better off replacing both and this kit will do it. I had the same issue in which I only needed one. But you are hard pressed to find just one sensor that will work. Save yourself the headache and use a kit.

The system is armed, not specific sensors. What you could do is remove specific sensors from the sensor & add it back later, but takes a bit of effort.

You can definitely set your temps/alerts to "custom" settings, but be warned, you are looking at an addition $15 expense every three months or so to replace the P.O.S. probes...

The unit as is has presets. At The CoolerGuys site they reference an add-on Programmable. Should be able to find it with a bit of effort

The sensors come with various plastic 'filter - shields' to be inserted to control the pattern area to which they respond. I gave up on these years ago as a lot of screwing around with them was a drill in futility. I use the sensors as-is. I think if you fashioned a filter shield to severely attenuate the signal, this might be accomplished, To wit: screen wire or cheesecloth.

I contacted my home security company to get a list of sensors that are compatible with my existing security system. This one was one of those in the list. I would suggest you to do the same.

I don't see why you couldn't. As long as you are not placing the contact sensor inside of the freezer. Some sensors will malfunction at extreme temperatures.

Yes. I could be wrong but I believe you can actually hook up 16 sensors to the same unit. There are 4 channels so you can definitely at least hook up 4. But it's my understanding that you can actually do 4 sensors per channel, although I haven't tried it yet. It's an awesome system!! I love it. I currently have 4 sensors and just ordered 3 more so I'm gonna find out soon if it can handle more than 4.

Yes you can. Just be sure to sync one before you turn the other one on. Hope this helps.
