Mounting under an eave or deck rail works well. 

 

If you choose, you can construct a small roof or box for the remote sensor. Be sure a box has vents. 

 

Mount the remote 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 remote sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the effective

 range

. 

 

Remote sensors are water resistant, not waterproof.  

 

Indoor:  

 

Mount the Remote Sensor indoors to monitor high mold risk areas like in a crawl space or a basement. 

 

Indoor or Outdoor: 

 

Mount remote temperature sensor vertically.  

 

Avoid more than one wall between the remote sensor and the atomic clock. 

 

The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 330 feet (100 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. 

 

MOUNT 

Option 1: 

 

Install one mounting screw (not included) into a wall. 

 

Place the remote 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 remote sensor and into the wall.  

 

Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten). 

 

Position Atomic clock 

 

 

The atomic clock has a pull out stand to sit on a desk or table or can be wall mounted.  

 

Place withi

range 

of the remote sensor.  

 

The maximum transmitting range in open air is 330 feet (100 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. 

 

Distance/Resistance/Interference 

 

Distance:  

 

The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 330 feet (100 meters) between the remote sensor 

and the atomic clock. This range is in open air with ideal conditions. 

 

Consider what is in the signal path between the atomic clock and the remote sensor. 

 

Avoid placing electronics in the signal path between the atomic clock and the remote sensor.
