Mounting/Positioning Outdoor sensor
First: Place the Outdoor sensor in the desired shaded location and the atomic clock in the
home. Wait approximately 1 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
range
.
•
Outdoor sensors are water resistant, not waterproof.
Indoor or Outdoor:
•
Mount Outdoor temperature sensor vertically.
•
Avoid more than one wall between the Outdoor sensor and the atomic clock.
•
The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 200 feet (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.
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).
Fahrenheit/Celsius
•
Use the
to switch from Fahrenheit to Celsius.
Supported Time Zones
•
This clock has 7 Time Zones: AST=Atlantic, EST= Eastern, CST= Central,
