BATTERIES: WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BATTERIES?
•
Good fresh batteries are important for best performance in your sensors and as backup in
your clock.
•
Batteries with an expiration date of 2028, were manufactured in 2018.
•
We recommend batteries with an expiration date 6 years in advance of the current year for
best performance.
•
A minimum voltage of 1.48 v per battery is required for best performance.
•
Lithium batteries may be used in outdoor sensors. Alkaline batteries for the clock.

•
Place your thermo-hygro sensor at least 6 feet off the ground.
•
For accurate temperature readings your sensor needs to be shaded from the sun and in a
well ventilated area. Trapped moisture will cause inaccurate readings.
•
Mount your sensor vertically to allow moisture to drain out the bottom.
•
Preferred location is on a north facing wall under an eave or deck rail.
•
Avoid placing near a metal roof that will cause it to read high on sunny days.
