sudden changes in temperature will decrease the accuracy of the indoor
weather station, and changes in elevation will result with inaccurate
weather forecasting for the next 12 to 24 hours. These changes will require
a 12 to 24 hour wait before obtaining reliable data. To achieve a true
temperature reading, avoid mounting where direct sunlight can reach the
remote temperature sensor or indoor weather station. While the remote
temperature sensor is weather proof, avoid submersion in water or snow.
We recommend that you mount the remote temperature sensor on an
outside North-facing wall. The sending range is 330ft—obstacles such as
walls, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range. Place both
units in their desired location, and wait approximately 15 minutes before
permanently mounting to ensure that there is proper reception. The thermo
station should display a temperature in the OUTDOOR LCD within 4
minutes of setting up.
I. THE REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The remote temperature sensor can be mounted in two ways:
•
with the use of screws, or
•
using the adhesive tape.
A. MOUNTING WITH SCREWS
1)
Remove the mounting bracket from the remote
temperature sensor.
2)
Place the mounting bracket over the desired location.
3)
Through the three screw holes of the bracket, mark the
mounting surface with a pencil.
4)
Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface.
Ensure that the screws are flush with the bracket.
5)
Insert the remote temperature sensor into the bracket.
B. MOUNTING WITH ADHESIVE TAPE
1)
With a nonabrasive solution, clean and dry the back
of the mounting bracket and the mounting surface to
ensure a secure hold. The mounting surface should
be smooth and flat.
2)
Remove the protective strip from one side of the
tape.
3)
Adhere the tape to the designated area on the back of
the mounting bracket.
