915MHZ RECEPTION CHECK FOR OUTDOOR SOLAR TRANSMITTER
The Solar Station will receive the outdoor data every 48 seconds. If the temperature data is not
being received 2 minutes after setting up (or the display shows “- - -”), then please check the
following points:
1.
The distance of the Solar Station or outdoor transmitter should be at least 6 feet (2 meters)
away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.
2.
Avoid placing the receiver onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window frames.
3.
Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same
signal frequency (915MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception.
4.
Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 915MHz signal frequency can also
cause interference.
Note:
When the 915 MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of the
Solar Station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. Should
this happen accidentally then reset all units (see “
TO INSTALL / REPLACE BATTERY IN THE
SOLAR STATION
” and “
INITIAL SETUP
” above) otherwise transmission problems may occur.
The maximum transmission range is 200 feet (60.96 m) from the outdoor transmitter to the Solar
Station (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference
levels. If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all system units have to
be reset (see “
TO INSTALL / REPLACE BATTERY IN THE SOLAR STATION
” and “
INITIAL
SETUP
”).
POSITIONING THE SOLAR STATION:
Before permanently mounting, ensure that the Solar Station is able to receive 915MHz signals
from the desired location. In addition, the Solar Clock should be placed in a bright environment for
the rechargeable batteries to be able to recharge.
There are two possible ways to mount the solar station:
Table
Stands
Wall
