•
Maximum transmission distance from your thermos-hygro sensor to your station, in open air is
330 feet (100 meters).
•
Insert the mounting screw through the front of the transmitter and into the wall. Tighten the
screw to snug (do not over tighten).
Distance:
•
The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 330 feet (100 meters) between your sensor
and your station.
•
Consider the signal path from your station to your sensor as a straight line.
•
Consider the distance the station is from other electronics in the home.
Resistance:
•
Each obstacle: walls, windows, vegetation, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects will reduce
the effective signal range by about one-half.
•
Mounting your sensors on a metal fence can significantly reduce the effective signal range.
Interference:
•
Consider electronics in the signal path between your sensor and your station.
•
Simple relocation of your sensor or the station may correct an interference issue.
•
Windows can reflect the radio signal.
•
Metal will absorb the RF (radio frequency) signal.
•
Stucco held to the wall by a metal mesh will cause interference.
•
Transmitting antennas from: ham radios, emergency dispatch centers, airports, military bases,
etc. may cause interference.
•
Electrical wires, utilities, cables, etc. may create interference if too close.
TIME: DOES MY STATION HAVE ATOMIC TIME?
•
No. The time needs to be set manually on your station.
