If a miss happens:
•
If sensor loses connection to the station for any reason, the station will show NO after 30
minutes.
•
The station will search for 5 minutes every hour to reconnect with sensor.
•
. Manually search for your sensor.
Try this:
•
Bring your sensor within 10 feet of your station and make sure it is connected to the station.
•
After 15 minutes move the sensor into the next room with a wall between the sensor and the
station for 1 hour.
•
If there is no loss of signal in that hour, move the sensor just outside.
•
Continue moving the sensor back to its original location.
•
If you lose connection, look for sources of
WHAT IS DISTANCE | RESISTANCE | INTERFERENCE?
Distance:
•
The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 330 feet (100 meters) between each
sensor and your station.
•
Consider the signal path from your station to each sensor as a straight line.
•
Consider the distance the station is from other electronics in the home.
Resistance:
•
Each obstacle: walls, windows, vegetation, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects will
reduce the effective signal range by about one-half.
•
Mounting your sensors on a metal fence can significantly reduce the effective signal range.
Interference:
•
Consider electronics in the signal path between the sensors and your station.
•
Simple relocation of the sensors or the station may correct an interference issue.
•
Windows can reflect the radio signal.
•
Metal will absorb the RF (radio frequency) signal.
•
Stucco held to the wall by a metal mesh will cause interference.
•
Transmitting antennas from: ham radios, emergency dispatch centers, airports, military
bases, etc. may cause interference.
•
Electrical wires, utilities, cables, etc. may create interference if too close.
CAN I CHANGE BATTERIES IN MY SENSORS WITHOUT
LOSING DATA?
We designed this station for convenience, so that a simple change of batteries does not lose
data or require you to power down your station.
•
When Battery Indicator shows in the Outdoor Sensor area, replace batteries in your Outdoor
Sensor.
•
Then hold the +/OUT button for 3 seconds and your station will search for your sensor.
