Mount it about 18” down from the eaves for optimum performance. This ensures that the 
temperature of the air leaving the attic will not affect the weather data collected by the Outdoor 
Sensor. 
 
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”. 
 

NOTE

: Weather Direct was designed first and foremost as an Internet-driven forecast 

station.  Its purpose is to give you a 2-day estimate of your local weather forecast 4 times 
daily.  The option also exists to display National Weather Service alerts.   

The TX50U sensor for Weather Direct provides the convenience of an outdoor 
temperature.  The outdoor temperature does not display continuously on the Weather 
Direct display.  The TX50U will synchronize with your Weather Direct display and show in 
the scrolling window.   You can press the “+” key at any time to view the outdoor 
temperature. 

Add Optional Secure Weather Gateway  

 

 

The Weather Gateway Delivers the Full Weather Direct Experience, Eliminating the Need 
for the USB Transceiver. The Weather Gateway Connects to Your Network Router with 
the Included LAN Cable to Send Secure Wireless Forecasts Up to 330 Ft away to the 
Wireless Display Around the Clock, Providing the Most Current Information Available 
without Turning on a TV or Computer.

Service alert.  This alert service is provided as a convenience to make you aware of a potential 
situation, not as a replacement for local severe weather warning system
