Place your sensor in a well-vented area. Trapped moisture will cause inaccurate readings. 

 

Maximum transmission distance from your Thermo-Hygro sensor to your station, in open air 

is 400 feet (121.92meters).  

 

 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. 

 

This station must operate with the 5 volt power cord in order to receive sensor updates 

and/or to update Wi-Fi data when connected. Operation on battery power will only maintain 

time/date settings if you need to move your station. 

 

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. 

 

WHAT IS DISTANCE | RESISTANCE | INTERFERENCE? 

 

Distance:  

 

The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 400 feet (121.92 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.
