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 a box has vents.
Mount the remote sensor on the North side where to prevent 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
range
.
Remote sensors are water resistant, not waterproof.
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 200 feet (60 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
will
interfere
with the signal.
RF (radio frequency) signals do not travel well through moisture or dirt.
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).
Fahrenheit/Celsius
Use the
to switch from Fahrenheit to Celsius.
12-Hour Time Format
Clock is 12-hour time only.
