Operation

 

Verification

   

The following steps verify proper operation of the sensors prior to installing the sensor array.   
1. Verify proper operation of the indoor and outdoor temperature. Verify the indoor and outdoor temperature match 
closely with the console and sensor array in the same location   
(about 3m apart). The sensors should be within 2°C (4°F) (the accuracy is 

±

1°C/2°F). Allow about 30 minutes for 

both sensors to stabilize.   

2.

 

Verify proper operation of the indoor and outdoor humidity. Verify the indoor and outdoor humidity match closely with 

the console and sensor array in the same location (about 3m apart). The sensors should be within 10% (the accuracy is 

±

 

5%). Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize

Communication

 

   

Wireless communication is susceptible to interference, distance, walls and metal barriers. We recommend the following 
best practices for trouble free wireless communication.   
1. 

Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI)

. Keep the console several feet away from computer monitors and TVs.   

2. 

Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). 

If you have other 433 MHz devices and communication is intermittent, try 

turning off these other devices for troubleshooting purposes. You may need to relocate the transmitters or receivers to avoid 
intermittent communication.   
3. 

Line of Sight Rating. 

This device is rated at 100 m line of sight (no interference, barriers or walls) but typically you will
