First, set everything up in the house to be sure it works before mounting the sensor
outside.

Place the outdoor sensor in the desired shaded location and the weather station in the
home. Wait approximately one hour before permanently mounting the outdoor sensor to
ensure that there is proper reception.
POSITION
Outdoor:
•
Protect the outdoor sensor from standing rain or snow and from the overhead sun,
which can cause it to read incorrectly.
•
Mounting under an eave or deck rail works well.
•
If you choose, you can construct a small roof or box for the outdoor sensor. Be sure a
box has vents.
•
Mount the outdoor sensor on the North side where to prevent sun from causing
incorrect readings.
•
Mount at least 6 feet in the air for a strong RF (radio frequency) signal.
•
Do not mount the outdoor sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the
effective
•
Outdoor sensor are water resistant, not waterproof.
•
Mount outdoor temperature sensor vertically.
•
Avoid more than one wall between the outdoor sensor and the weather station.
•
The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 300 feet (91 meters).
•
Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal objects can
reduce the range.
•
Do not mount near electrical wires, transmitting antennas or other items that will
with the signal.
•
RF (radio frequency) signals do not travel well through moisture or dirt.
MOUNT
Option 1:
•
Install one mounting screw (not included) into a wall.
•
Place the outdoor sensor onto the screw (hanging hole on the backside).
•
Gently pull down to lock the screw in place.
Option 2:
•
Insert the mounting screw through the front of the outdoor sensor and into the wall.
•
Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten).
DISTANCE/RESISTANCE/INTERFERENCE
Distance:
•
The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 300 feet (91 meters) between the
sensor and the weather station.
•
Consider what is in the signal path between the weather station and the sensor.
•
Consider the distance the weather station is from other electronics in the home.
