HI | LO Temperature readings
Explanation:
The atomic clock shows the daily HI | LO temperatures each day
starting at midnight (12:00 AM). The atomic clock automatically resets the HI | LO
temperatures at midnight (12:00 AM).
Press and release the PLUS button to view minimum then maximum temperatures.
Mounting/Positioning Remote sensor
First:
Place the remote sensor in the desired shaded location and the atomic clock
in the home. Wait approximately 1 hour before permanently mounting the remote
sensor to ensure that there is proper reception.
POSITION
Outdoor:
Protect the remote sensor from standing rain or snow and from the overhead
sun, which can cause it to read incorrectly.
Mounting under an eave or deck rail works well.
If you choose, you can construct a small roof or box for the remote sensor. Be
sure the box has vents.
Mount the remote sensor on the North side to prevent the sun from causing
incorrect readings.
Mount at least 6 feet in the air for a strong RF (radio frequency) signal.
Do not mount the remote sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the
effective
Remote sensors are water resistant, not waterproof.
Indoor:
Mount the Remote Sensor indoors to monitor high mold risk areas like in a crawl
space or a basement.
Indoor or Outdoor:
Mount remote temperature sensor
vertically
.
Avoid more than one wall between the remote sensor and the atomic clock.
The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 300 feet (91 meters).
Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal objects can
reduce the range.
Do not mount near electrical wires, transmitting antennas or other items that
with the signal.
RF (radio frequency) signals do not travel well through moisture or dirt.
