Situating your CM7 Sensor
Your CM7 Sensor can now been relocated as desired, ensuring it also remains within
100-metre transmission range of the Display Console.
To achieve accurate temperature measurements, avoid mounting the sensor in a position
where it will be subject to direct sunlight – your sensor will measure most accurately in
a shaded, North-facing position.
Exposure to direct sunlight can have a massive impact on what the CM7 Sensor measures
as it will cause the sensor itself to warm up and retain heat for some time - meaning you
won’t be taking a true air temperature measurement.
Look for a suitable position where the sensor can have shelter from the sun and will not
be influenced by other external factors. For example - be sure to avoid spots that might
be in the path of an air conditioning unit, or in the proximity of a dark surface that will
radiate heat on a sunny day.
The CM7 Sensor can be situated either indoors or outdoors, but when located outside
it’s best to consider the long-term effects of direct sunlight and prolonged rainfall –
placement that provides shelter from both will help to extend the lifespan of your sensor.
The sensor is designed for outdoor use and can be considered weatherproof, but it is not
fully waterproof and is unable to withstand being submerged.
The sensor can be placed vertically or horizontally if suitable, or attached more securely
using the keyhole hook on the rear side.
