Note: Heat index will be the same number as the temperature until the remote
temperature is above 26.7°C (80°F).
Dew Point Temperature:
•
Dew Point Temperature is the saturation point of the air, or the temperature to which
the air has to cool in order to create condensation.
•
The higher the dew points, the higher the moisture content of the air at a given
temperature.
View Dew Point Temperature: From the default time display, press the HEAT/DEW
button twice and Dew Point will show instead of the remote ambient temperature. The
words “Dew Point” will show near remote temperatures.
Note: Dew Point is lower than the actual temperature.
Mounting/Positioning Remote sensor
First: Place the remote sensor in the desired shaded location and the weather station 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
•
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 weather station.
•
The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 330 feet (100 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
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.
