Hardware Installation
NOTE:
Hardware installation is only intended to be performed after you have registered
your Gateway and Wireless Display, inserted batteries into the Wireless Outdoor
Temperature Sensor, and have confirmed successful reception of weather data.
Wireless Outdoor Sensor Installation Options
NOTE:
Move the Wireless Outdoor Sensor into its intended location and wait for 10
minutes to make sure the outdoor temperature is still being received by the Wireless
Display. Press and release the “” “DISPLAY” Key on your Wireless Display to show the
outdoor temperature. NOTE: you will toggle from seconds, date, indoor temperature then
outdoor temperature showing in the right side of the scroll line. If the display shows - -,-F
for the outdoor temperature, the signal cannot reach the Wireless Display. Find a closer
location to mount the Wireless Outdoor Sensor and wait 10 minutes to check the Wireless
Display again for reception.
DO NOT mount the Wireless Outdoor Sensor in a permanent fashion until you are
sure the signal is being received by the Wireless Display.
To Surface Mount the Outdoor Sensor:
We have provided a mounting plate that you can attach to a surface with the
supplied screws. The Sensor can be positioned on a flat surface by securing the
stand to the bottom by gently pushing the bottom of the Sensor onto the holding
pegs of the stand until they click into place in the grooves on the Sensor.
To Wall Mount the Outdoor Sensor:
The Outdoor Sensor is weather resistant, but not water proof. To ensure maximum
Sensor life, mount it in a covered place out of the elements like under the eaves.
Placement on the North side of your home will provide the most accurate readings.
Mount it about 18” down from the eaves for optimum performance. This ensures that
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.
