SETUP: HOW DO I SETUP MY STATIONS?
1.
Insert 2-AA batteries into your Outdoor Sensor.
2.
Insert the 5 volt power cord into an outlet, then into your S75617. Optional: Insert 3-AA
batteries for backup. Insert batteries into your 308-148.
3.
Once the sensor is reading to both stations, place it outside in a shaded location to
protect it from the sun’s heat. Allow up to 10 minutes for sensors to connect.
MOUNTING: WHERE DO I MOUNT/POSITION MY SENSOR?
•
Watch sensor mounting video:

•
Place your thermo-hygro sensor at least 6 feet off the ground.
•
For accurate temperature readings your sensor needs to be shaded from the sun and in a
well ventilated area. Trapped moisture will cause inaccurate readings.
•
Mount your sensor vertically to allow moisture to drain out the bottom.
•
Preferred location is on a north facing wall under an eave or deck rail.
•
Avoid placing near a metal roof that will cause it to read high on sunny days.
•
Avoid other sources of heat such as soffit vents, and window or door frames.
•
For accurate humidity readings, avoid placement near vegetation and lakes or other bodies
of water when possible.
•
Maximum transmission distance from your thermos-hygro sensor to your station, in open air
is 330 feet (100 meters).
•
Insert the mounting screw through the front of the transmitter and into the wall. Tighten the
screw to snug (do not over tighten).
WHERE TO I PLACE MY STATIONS?
S75617:
Your station is designed for flexible placement on a desk or countertop, or to position on the
wall. When the stand is closed, it provides wall mounting holes.
•
Position within reach of an outlet that is always active. Some outlets in living rooms and in
bedrooms may only be active when the light switch is on.
Both Stations:
•
Best reception occurs when only one wall is between your station and each sensor outside.
•
Position you station six feet from other electronics and wireless devices. If you suspect RF
(radio frequency) interference, simply move your weather station a few feet.
TIME: DOES THIS STATION HAVE ATOMIC TIME?
308-14
No, time is manually set.
S75617
Yes:
•
The station will search for the atomic signal at UTC 7:00, 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, and 11:00.
