Option 1
Install one mounting screw into a wall leaving some extended.
Place the transmitter onto the screw; gently pull the transmitter down to lock the screw
into place.
Option 2
Insert the mounting screw through the front of the transmitter and into the wall.
Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten).
Mount the temperature/humidity sensor on a north-facing wall or in any well-shaded
location. Sun will make it read high.
Under an eave or deck rail is preferred.
Be sure the TH sensor is mounted vertically to drain moisture.
Avoid mounting under a metal roof and use stainless screws for best transmission.
The maximum wireless transmission range to your station is over 330 feet (100 meters)
in open air.
TX233RW Multi-sensor:
For most accurate wind speed and rainfall readings, mount the Multi-sensor in an open
area clear for 50 feet in all directions.
Mount with the solar panel facing south so the wind direction is correct.
See N, S, E W, embossed on the top of the sensor.
Use the bubble level on the top of the sensor to ensure it is level, for accurate rainfall
readings.
The maximum wireless transmission range to the station is over 330 feet (100 meters)
in open air, not including walls or trees.
Cups should be on the top of the sensor.
Attach to mounting surface with screws through the mounting bracket.
With the mounting bracket, the sensor can attach from the bottom or from the side.
Note: you will occasionally need to clear debris from the rain sensor.
Use your own mounting pole:
Insert your own mounting pole (1.25 or less diameter) into the sensor.
Tighten screws
Mounting bracket would not be used.
SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE: MOUNTING THE MULTI-SENSOR
•
For the system to work correctly, the Multi-Sensor’s solar panel must face south for
correct wind direction readings. Not to worry, the sensor should still get plenty of
sunlight even in the southern hemisphere and facing south.
•
The wind directional vane is not reversible.
•
Keep in mind, that the solar panel does not run the sensor on its own; it simply extends
the life of your batteries. So be sure to face it south so your direction is correct!
WHAT IS DISTANCE/RESISTANCE/INTERFERENCE?
Distance:
•
The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 400 feet (121.92 meters) between
each sensor and your weather station.
•
Consider the signal path from your weather station to each sensor as a straight line.
