8. Positioning of basic unit and transmitter
•
The outdoor sensor unit should be securely placed on a horizontal surface in an
open area. Avoid trees or other coverings where rainfall may be reduced causing
inaccurate reading.
•
Place the basic unit at the final position. Avoid the vicinity of any interfering field
like computer monitors or TV sets and solid metal objects.
•
Check the transmission of the signal from the transmitter to the basic unit (trans-
mission range 30 m free field), within ferro-concrete rooms, especially with metal
parts, the received signal is naturally weakened.
•
If necessary choose another position for transmitter and/or basic unit.
•
With the mountable leg the basic unit can be placed onto any flat surface or wall
mounted by the wall mounting hole.
