MOUNTING: WHERE DO I MOUNT/POSITION MY SENSOR?
•
Watch sensor mounting video:

•
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.
•
Avoid other sources of heat such as soffit vents, and window or door frames.
•
For accurate humidity readings, avoid placement near vegetation and lakes or other bodies
of water when possible.
•
Maximum transmission distance from your thermos-hygro sensor to your station, in open air
is 330 feet (100 meters).
•
Insert the mounting screw through the front of the transmitter and into the wall. Tighten the
screw to snug (do not over tighten).
WHERE TO I PLACE MY STATION?
Your station is designed for flexible placement on a desk or countertop, or to position on the
wall. When the stand is closed, it provides wall mounting holes.
•
Position within reach of an outlet that is always active. Some outlets in living rooms and in
bedrooms may only be active when the light switch is on.
•
Best reception occurs when only one wall is between your station and each sensor outside.
•
Position you station six feet from other electronics and wireless devices. If you suspect RF
(radio frequency) interference, simply move your weather station a few feet.
TIME: DOES THIS STATION HAVE ATOMIC TIME?
Yes:
•
The station will search for the atomic signal at UTC 7:00, 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, and 11:00.
•
If there is no WWVB reception, the station will search for the atomic time signal every 2
hours until the WWVB time is received.
•
The atomic time signal icon will flash while searching. The tower icon will be solid when it
has connected.
•
From normal time display, press the SET button to search for the WWVB time signal.
•
Please be sure you have selected your time zone from the list in the Settings menu.
•
When the Atomic time signal is received, the station will set to the time zone selected.
Default is Eastern Time.
Reception:
•
The WWVB time signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away from Boulder Colorado.
However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during
