Hello Everyone.
I have an Acurite 522 base station, which receives outdoor temperatures from a 606TX sender. The data packet interval is 30 seconds but I would like to reduce that to say 5 seconds. I figure this should not involve much more than altering a resistor or capacitor but Ive had no luck finding a schematic or block diagram and Im very rusty at tracing out PC boards.
If anyone has done this, please share. My goal is to put a blob of insulating epoxy on the sender thermocouple and then attach a thin bare wire attached to a copper pipe on my domestic hot water recirculation system. This should allow someone in the bathroom to see on the base station when hot water becomes available (without running water down the drain) after pressing a momentary switch that runs the hot water recirc. pump for a sufficient period.
Clearly, the 606TX sender batteries will be consumed more rapidly but intend to provide a 110VAC - 3VDC power supply.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
