OUTDOOR SENSOR 915 MHz RECEPTION
The outdoor temperature, humidity, wind data and rainfall are transmitted from the
thermo-hygro sensor about every 4.5 seconds. The Weather Center will then be
synchronized to the thermo-hygro sensor to receive outdoor data. The transmission
range (up to 330 feet) of the thermo-hygro Sensor may be affected by the ambient
temperature. At cold temperatures the transmitting distance may be decreased.
Please keep this in mind when placing the sensor.
If the outdoor data are not being received within 60 seconds after setting up (or the
outdoor display shows “- - -“ in the outdoor section of the Weather Center after
consecutive failed attempts during normal operation). Please check the following
points:
1.
The distance of the Weather Center or sensor should be at least 5 to 6.5 feet
away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.
2.
Avoid positioning the Weather Center onto or in the immediate proximity of
metal doors or window frames.
3.
Using other electrical products such as headphones, speakers, or cordless
phones operating on the same signal frequency (915 MHz) may prevent
correct signal transmission and reception.
4.
Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 915 MHz signal frequency
can also cause interference.
5.
“Visibility” of Weather Center and thermo-hygro sensor (e.g. through a window)
increases the range.
Note:
•
When the 915 MHz signal is received, do not re-open the battery compartment
cover of either the sensor or Weather Center, as the batteries may spring free
from the contacts and force a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then
