What is the maximum distance between the outdoor transmitter and the weather clock
?
The maximum open-air distance is 100 metres in a straight line although you should take into account the environment,
distance and interferences. Subtract 6 to 10 metres for an exterior wall or any other similar obstruction, in width or
composition. Subtract 3 to 10 metres for an interior wall or any obstruction that is similar in width or composition. (An
obstruction would include anything that is between the line of sight like a roof, walls, floors, ceilings, trees, etc.) Also
keep your units away from electronic appliances like TV’s, microwaves, computers, refrigerators and speakers.
Does the outdoor transmitter have any trouble transmitting through specific materials ?
Yes and No… We have trouble maintaining a signal through metal siding, stucco walls and UV glass. You can get the
outdoor sensor to transmit through these materials, but it will take a little bit of trial and error. Reset the weather
clock as mentioned hereunder and change the angle that the ourdoor transmitter transmits through the siding or glass
until an outdoor temperature remains on the display for an extended period of time. Keep in mind that the signal from
the ourdoor transmitter must travel through some space (10 cm of air minimum) before reaching a wall or glass window.
Where can I mount the remote sensor?
In order to get an accurate reading and to prolong the life of your sensor we recommend that you have it in a sheltered
area out of the sun and direct rain. Fog and Mist will not affect the sensor, but a soaking in water may.
You can mount it outside under an eve of your house or any other suitable place that will keep it out of the sun and rain.
Do not wrap the sensor in plastic or seal it in a plastic bag.
