Indoor or Outdoor: 

 

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 196 ft. (60 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 

interfere 

with the signal. 

 

RF (radio frequency) signals do not travel well through moisture or dirt. 

 

Position Weather station 

 

 

The weather station has a stand to sit on a desk or table or can be wall 

mounted.  

 

Place withi

range 

of the outdoor sensor.  

 

The maximum transmitting range in open air is 196 ft. (60 meters).  

 

Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal objects can 

reduce the range. 

 

Choose a location 6 feet or more from electronics such as cordless phones, 

wireless gaming systems, televisions, microwaves, routers, baby monitors, etc., 

which can prevent signal reception. 

 

Be aware of electrical wires and plumbing within a wall. This will interfere with 

RF (radio frequency) signal reception. 

 

For best WWVB reception, orientate the forecast station with the front of the 

back facing Ft. Collins Colorado. 

 

Distance/Resistance/Interference 

 

Distance:  

 

The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 196 ft. (60 meters) 

between the outdoor sensor and the weather station. This range is in open air 

with ideal conditions. 

 

Consider what is in the signal path between the weather station and the outdoor 

sensor. 

 

Avoid placing electronics in the signal path between the weather station and the 

outdoor sensor. 

 

Resistance:  

 

Obstacles such as walls, floors, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal 

objects can reduce the range.  

 

When considering the distance between the outdoor sensor and the weather 

station 196 ft. (60 meters) open air, cut that distance in half for each wall, 

window, tree, bush or other obstruction in the signal path.   

 

Closer is better. 

 

Windows reflect the RF (radio frequency) signal.  

 

Metal absorbs the signal and reduces the range. 

 

Stucco has a metal mesh that absorbs the signal. 

 

Do not mount the outdoor sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces 

the effective range.
