When considering the distance between the outdoor sensor and the forecast station (200 feet open
air), cut that distance in half for each wall, window, tree, bush or other obstruction in the signal path.
Closer is better.
Windows reflect the RF (radio frequency) signal.
Metal absorbs the signal and reduces the range.
Stucco has a metal mesh that absorbs the signal.
Do not mount the outdoor sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the effective range.
Interference:
Consider items in the signal path between the outdoor sensor and the forecast station.
Sometimes a simple relocation of the outdoor sensor or the forecast station will correct the
interference.
Windows can reflect the radio signal.
Metal will absorb the RF (radio frequency) signal.
Stucco has a metal mesh that absorbs signal.
Avoid transmitting antennas: (ham radios, emergency dispatch centers, airports, military bases, etc.)
Electrical wires (utilities, cable, etc.)
Vegetation is full of moisture and reduces signal.
It is difficult for RF (radio frequency) signal to travel through a hill.
Channels
The Weather Station will accommodate up to three remote
outdoor transmitters
. The channel selection
(CH) button on the Weather Station allows you to see the temperature in various locations: outdoors,
baby’s room, greenhouse, basement, etc.
Press and release the CH button to view channel 1, 2 or 3 on the display when multiple transmitters
are used.
Note
: You cannot change channels if only one transmitter is connected.
CHANNEL SCROLL- Press and release the CH button until you see the word AUTO appear in the
outdoor data area. The display will automatically rotate through the channels for all connected
transmitters.
Press and release the CH button to lock the display into one channel.
Then view channels individually with a press of the CH button.
Multiple Outdoor Transmitters
To connect multiple remote transmitters to the Weather Station:
Remove the battery cover from all the transmitters (leave off for setup).
Set the
first
outdoor transmitter to channel 1 and insert 2-AA batteries.
Set the
second
outdoor transmitter to channel 2 and insert 2-AA batteries.
Set the
third
outdoor transmitter to channel 3 and insert 2-AA batteries.
Press and hold CH button on Weather Station until a beep sounds.
The Weather Station will search for all outdoor transmitters.
Press the TX button on the back of each outdoor transmitter to transmit RF (radio frequency) signal.
When RF (radio frequency) connection is established, the respective temperature & humidity of the
selected channels will appear on the main unit.
Allow the transmitters and the Weather Station to stay 5-10 feet apart for 15 minutes to establish a
solid connection.
Install the battery covers on each sensor.
After 15 minutes, place the remote transmitters in appropriate locations within
range
of the display.
Press and release the CH button to view channel 1, 2 or 3 on the display when
multiple transmitters
are used.
Forecast Station
How tall are the time numbers?
The time numbers are 0.79 inches tall.
