3.1 PUTTING THE DEVICE INTO OPERATION
The communication between the base station (receiver) and the outdoor
sensor (transmitter) is wireless, simplifying the installation. The outdoor
sensor transmits data to the base station, with an operating range of up
to 30 metres (100 feet) in an open area. The outdoor sensor can be
placed indoors or outdoors, depending on the area where the tempera-
ture is intended to be measured. If you intend to measure outdoor condi-
tions, place the sensor outdoors.
START UP THE COMMUNICATION:
• It is important to power up the base station before powering up the
outdoor sensor. Immediately after batteries are installed, the outdoor
sensor will start transmitting temperature data to the base station.
• It is strongly recommended that you power up and test communica-
tion between the outdoor sensor and the base station before perma-
nently mounting the sensor outside.
• During initial set up, place the outdoor sensor within 1 metre of the
base station, in the same room, with both the receiver and transmitter
far from any other electronic device.
• After reception is established (remote readings will appear on the
base station’s display), position the outdoor sensor and the base sta-
tion within the maximum transmission range of up to 30 metres (100
feet).
Note:
• Avoid pressing any button on the base station before the remote
readings are displayed.
• Transmission or reception range may be affected by trees, metal
structures, electronic appliances, surrounding building materials and
how the base station and outdoor sensor are positioned.
