What This Model Is For
The FT-0170 is a wireless thermo-hygrometer with three outdoor sensor channels that measures indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity, then transmits data every 60 seconds over a 433MHz link. It supports alarm thresholds for both temperature and humidity across all three outdoor channels and the indoor space, with min/max tracking and trend indicators. The receiver uses three AAA batteries, while each remote sensor runs on two AAA cells, allowing for flexible placement without wiring. The system is designed for use in homes, greenhouses, and small commercial spaces where multiple points need monitoring.
- Three independent outdoor sensor channels allow monitoring of different zones without additional receivers
- 60 second transmission interval provides timely updates without excessive battery drain
- 433MHz link reaches 100 meters in open air, suitable for a house and adjacent garden
- Alarm thresholds for temperature and humidity can be set independently on each channel
- Min/max records and trend indicators help identify patterns in climate conditions

Where It Is Used
- Greenhouse monitoring where temperature and humidity vary across different sections
- Small commercial buildings needing climate tracking in multiple rooms or zones
- Home use where a single console tracks indoor comfort and three outdoor locations
- Cold storage or warehouse monitoring with alarms for humidity spikes
- Agricultural sheds or hobbyist growing spaces with multiple microclimates
Who It Is For
- Consumer electronics brands adding multi-point climate monitoring to an existing product line
- Distributors replacing a wired system that requires cable runs and complex installation
- Horticultural suppliers bundling sensors with climate control equipment
- Building integrators needing a battery-powered solution for retrofitting older structures
Problems It Solves
- Multiple climate zones requiring separate monitoring but only one console available
- Wired sensors that need trenching or drilling for installation, increasing cost and risk
- Sensors that fail after a few months due to poor RF range or battery life
- Lack of alarm functionality across multiple outdoor points in a single system
- Inability to track historical min/max values without a data logger
Technical Features
- Indoor temperature sensing from 0 to 60 degrees C
- Outdoor temperature sensing from -40 to 60 degrees C across three channels
- Humidity sensing from 10 to 99 percent RH for both indoor and outdoor
- Temperature accuracy of plus or minus 1 degree C across the full range
- Humidity accuracy of plus or minus 5 percent RH
- Transmission every 60 seconds over 433MHz frequency
- Alarm thresholds for temperature and humidity on all three outdoor channels and indoor
- Min/max records and trend indicators for temperature and humidity
- Comfort level indication based on indoor humidity and temperature

Materials and Construction
- Moulded plastic housing for the receiver and outdoor sensors
- Weather sealed battery compartment sized for 2 x AAA cells on each sensor
- Integrated antenna in the outdoor sensor housing
How It Is Made
Sensor and receiver sub-assemblies are populated and soldered on our own assembly line
Each outdoor sensor is tested for RF transmission before final housing
Housings are sealed and checked on rainfall and waterproof test equipment
Every unit is ageing tested before it leaves the factory
Quality Control
- Rainfall and waterproof testing on the assembled sensor housings
- Constant temperature and humidity chamber runs covering the -40 to +60 degrees C range
- Vibration testing to simulate transport and mounting stress
- Smog ageing to verify housing and seal integrity
- Final ageing test on every unit before packing
Customisation Options
- Own-label printing and retail packaging
- Console pairing to a customer's existing UCTECH-protocol display
- Alternative battery configurations on request
- Manual and quick start guide in the destination language
Compared With the Alternatives
vs Single-channel wireless thermo-hygrometers
Three channels eliminate the need for multiple receivers, reducing cost and complexity
vs Wired sensors with multiple probes
No cable runs required, but with a 100m range ceiling and battery-powered sensors
vs LoRa-based multi-sensor systems
433MHz is simpler and lower cost for a single building; LoRa is better for large sites with multiple nodes
Use Guide
- Place the receiver in a central location, away from direct sunlight and heat sources
- Position each outdoor sensor in a shaded area, protected from rain and direct exposure
- Use lithium batteries in outdoor sensors for cold climates below freezing
- Set alarm thresholds based on the specific needs of each monitored zone
- Check battery levels and clear debris from sensor vents every season
FT-0170 Wireless Thermo-hygrometer with 3 Channels Questions
What is the real range between the receiver and outdoor sensors
100 meters in open air. Through walls, trees, or a roof, expect around 30 meters, which covers a typical house and garden.
How often does it update the data
Every 60 seconds, which balances timely updates with long battery life.
Can I use lithium batteries in the outdoor sensors
Yes. Lithium cells are recommended for cold climates or long-term use where battery replacement is difficult.
Can I add more than three outdoor sensors
No. The system is designed for three outdoor channels. For more, consider a different model with higher channel count.
What certifications does it carry
TBC. Ask us for the current certificate set for your destination market before you place the order.
What is the lead time and minimum order
Tell us the quantity and target ship date and we will confirm both by email. Lead time depends on whether own-label printing and packaging are involved.
