the weather data collected by the Outdoor Sensor will not be affected by the temperature of the 
air leaving the attic. 
 
We have provided a mounting plate that you can attach to the wall with the supplied screws.  
Gently snap the Sensor onto the holding pegs on the mounting plate after the plate is screwed to 
the wall.  When the holding pegs are securely locked into the slots on the Sensor, you will hear a 
“Click”. 
 
 

Gateway Installation 

 

 
 
The Gateway should be installed indoors in an easy-to-
reach location.  Registration requires that you press the 
gray button on the Gateway.  It can be mounted 
securely to the wall with the included mounting plate 
and drywall anchors.   
 
If you require a longer LAN cable to mount the Gateway 
in a desired location, any standard Category 5 network 
cable will work, but a crossover cable may not work.  
Crossover cables designed to connect two computers 
without networking hardware may not work with your 

Gateway. 

 

 

NOTE:

  Network cables usually have length limitations.  The same length 

limitations will apply that apply to computers on your home network.
