Positioning Sensors Outside
•
Each sensor reads to the weather station independently.
•
Consider the location of the weather station in the house and in relation to each sensor outside.
•
The transmission range is 100 ft (30 m) open air.
•
Obstacles such as walls, concrete and large metal objects can reduce the range by one-half.
•
Place sensors and weather station in desired locations, and wait approximately 15 minutes before permanently mounting to ensure
that there is proper reception.
Wind
•
For most accurate wind readings, mount the wind sensor as the highest item in the area with a 50 foot clearance in all directions.
•
Cup should be on the bottom.
•
Use 4 screws to mount the wind sensor vertically on a piece of wood about 3 inches wide.
Rain
•
Make sure that the rain sensor is level–look inside, there is a built-in level. Make sure the bubble is
centered.
•
Place the protective screen over the top to protect the rain sensor from the debris.
•
Where practical, mount the rain sensor in place with wood screws (not included).
•
Make sure that the rain sensor is in open area where precipitation falls directly into the sensor’s
bucket, ideally 3-6 feet above the ground.
Note:
The rain sensor will need to be cleaned of debris on a regular basis. Mount in an accessible area.
•
The rain sensor should be placed in an open area away from the walls, fences, trees and other coverings
which may reduce the amount of rain falling into the bucket. Additionally, trees and rooftops may be sources
of pollen and debris that may clog the rain sensor.
•
To avoid the rain shadow effects, place the rain sensor horizontally, on the distance corresponding about
two to four times the height of any nearby obstruction.
Thermohygro
•
The remote thermohygro sensor should be placed in the area with a free air circulation and sheltered from direct sunlight and
an extreme weather conditions.
•
While the thermohygro sensor is weather resistant, avoid submersion in water or snow.
•
We recommend that you mount the outdoor temperature sensor on an outside North-facing wall.
•
The remote thermohygro sensor can stand vertically on a flat surface or mounted on the wall in vertical position
•
Use screws when mounting the thermohygro sensor on the wall
•
Avoid placing the thermohygro sensor near sources of heat such as chimneys and heating elements.
•
Avoid areas that collect or radiate heat from the sun, such as metal, brick/concrete structures, paving or patio decks.
Weather Station
•
Make sure that the weather station is locating within the operating range of all remote sensors.
•
Mount the remote sensors within the line of sight of the weather station.
•
Transmission range may be affected by trees, metal structures and electronic appliances.
•
Test reception before permanently mounting all the remote sensors.
•
Mount near an exterior wall with the front or back facing toward Ft. Collins, Colorado for best WWVB reception.
