MOUNT 

Option 1: 

 

Install one mounting screw (not included) into a wall. 

 

Place the remote sensor onto the screw (hanging hole on the backside). 

 

Gently pull down to lock the screw in place.  

 

Option 2:    

 

Insert the mounting screw through the front of the remote sensor and into the 

wall.  

 

Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten). 

 

Position Atomic clock 

 

 

The atomic clock has a pull out stand to sit on a desk or table or can be wall 

mounted.  

 

Place withi

range 

of the remote sensor.  

 

The maximum transmitting range in open air is 300 feet (91 meters).  

 

Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal objects can 

reduce the range. 

 

Choose a location 6 feet or more from electronics such as cordless phones, 

wireless gaming systems, televisions, microwaves, routers, baby monitors, etc., 

which can prevent signal reception. 

 

Be aware of electrical wires and plumbing within a wall. This will interfere with 

RF (radio frequency) signal reception. 

 

Distance/Resistance/Interference 

 

Distance:  

 

The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 300 feet (91 meters) 

between the remote sensor and the atomic clock. This range is in the open air 

with ideal conditions. 

 

Consider what is in the signal path between the atomic clock and the remote 

sensor. 

 

Avoid placing electronics in the signal path between the atomic clock and the 

remote sensor. 

 

Resistance:  

 

Obstacles such as walls, floors, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal 

objects can reduce the range.  

 

When considering the distance between the remote sensor and the atomic clock 

(300 feet open air), cut that distance in half for each wall, window, tree, bush, 

or other obstruction in the signal path.  

 

Closer is better. 

 

Windows reflect the RF (radio frequency) signal.  

 

Metal absorbs the signal and reduces the range. 

 

Stucco has a metal mesh that absorbs the signal. 

 

Do not mount the remote sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the 

effective range.
