2.
Hang the sensor from a nail, screw, or
hook, using one or all of the three
mounting holes on the rear of the sensor
(mounting hardware not included).
3.
Secure the sensor to a wall or vertical
surface using the magnet feature with
the included metal plate, or by placing it
on a suitable surface (that responds to a
magnet) without the included plate
4.
Secure the sensor to a wall or vertical
surface using alternative fasteners or
adhesive methods, such as double-sided
mounting tape or Velcro (not included).
The X3 Outdoor Temperature & Humidity
Sensor can be installed or mounted in at
least one of four ways:
1.
Lay the sensor flat on any stable
surface, or placed within an enclosure
Location & Mounting Considerations
The X3 Outdoor Temperature & Humidity
Sensor is designed to be easy to install,
and portable, but before installing the
sensor, the following items should be
considered:
While the X3 Outdoor Temperature &
Humidity Sensor is designed for
outdoor use, do not use the sensor
outside of the environmental
temperature range, per the product
specifications (refer to the product’s
support page).
The sensor body is designed for
outdoor use, but do not allow it to be
submerged.
Do not use the sensor near sources
of extreme hot or cold, as this can
affect accurate ambient temperature
readings, and in some cases may
damage the sensor.
As with most electronic devices,
even if intended for outdoor use, the
useful life of the device can be
extended if it is protected from the
elements. Direct intense sunlight,
rain and snow over an extended
period can discolor or damage the
device. Consider placing the sensor
where it has overhead cover and/or
protection from the elements.
Place the sensor where it will be out
of reach of children.

Magnet-mounting method
1.
The sensor has a built-in magnet in
the back, to allow for mounting it directly
to a suitable* metal surface, or the
included metal mounting plate can be
used for this purpose. After selecting the
sensor location, remove the plastic
backing from the metal plate, to expose
the mounting tape's adhesive side. Place
the plate at the desired location, tape
side down, and press firmly for at least
five seconds. (The surface should first
be clean and free of dirt, grease/grime, or
any substance that will impact the tape's
adhesion to the surface. It is suggested
to clean the surface accordingly, such as
with rubbing alcohol, and dry it well,
before this step).
2.
Check that the sensor is secure, and
does not move easily. If the sensor does
not seem to be secure, please mount
your sensor per the wall-mounting
method steps.
*Suitable surfaces are metallic surfaces
responsive to magnets, that allow for a
good bond with the sensor's built-in
magnet. Uneven, irregular, textured,
grooved, etcetera, surfaces may not be
suitable. Surfaces subject to vibration
and movement are not likely to be
acceptable. Verify the surface is suitable
and the sensor is secure, as physical
damage to the sensor is not covered by
the warranty.
Other mounting methods
Follow the manufacturer instructions if
mounting your sensor by alternative
methods, such as with Velcro or
double-sided mounting tape. If using an
adhesive method, is it recommended to
clean and dry the surface, first. Consider
the possibilty of replacing or relocating
the sensor later, when choosing
alternative mounting methods.
Prepare to use your sensor
Allow your sensor around an hour to
stabilize and display the correct readings
on the LCD display and in the app. If you
believe your sensor readings are
inaccurate, first consult the calibration
section of the full installation and user
guide and/or app.
Refer to the full Installation & User Guide
for additional information and to
complete the set-up and settings for
your sensor.
4.
Hang the sensor from this topmost
screw/nail/hook. If you will not utilize
the second and third mounting points,
ensure the sensor is secure, and proceed
to
Prepare to use your sensor
.
5.
If not already performed in a previous
step, verify the sensor is level prior to
pre-drilling or inserting holes for the
lower mounting points. Insert one or
both screws through the lower mounting
holes, tightening them and securing the
sensor to the wall.
6.
Replace the access cover by pushing
it back into place, after aligning the tab
on each end with the matching slot in
the sensor. Proceed to
Prepare to use
your sensor
.
3.
Your mounting hardware (nails,
screws, hooks, etc.) will vary. If using
wall anchors, install the anchor(s) at this
time, per the wall anchor manufacturer's
instructions and/or per appropriate
method for your application. Insert the
topmost nail, screw, or hook, in the wall,
leaving a gap between the nail/screw
head and the surface, as shown.
2.
If desired, mark or otherwise identify
the exact position of your sensor on the
wall, including one or all of the mounting
points (keyhole at top, two screw holes
at bottom). Use a level tool to ensure
your sensor will be level, if desired.
Insert the tip of a slotted screwdriver and
then gently twist it to pry off the battery
access cover
Wall-mounting method
1.
The sensor has a standard "keyhole"
notch on the rear, at the top. This allows
for hanging the sensor from a nail or
screw. Additionally, there are two more
mounting holes at the bottom of the
sensor. The use of the second and third
holes will result in a much more secure
mounting method. These holes are
hidden behind the removeable access
cover. This cover affords protection
against tampering and device removal
and their use is highly recommended.
Refer to the figure below for instructions
on how to remove the cover from the
bottom of the sensor.
