•
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 Weather Station
•
The weather station has a pull out stand to sit on a desk or table or can be wall
mounted.
•
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 weather station. This range is in open air with ideal
conditions.
•
Consider what is in the signal path between the weather station and the remote
sensor.
•
Avoid placing electronics in the signal path between the weather station and the
remote sensor.
Resistance:
•
Obstacles such as walls, floors, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal objects can
reduce the range.
•
When considering the distance between the remote sensor and the weather station
(330 feet open air), cut that distance in half for each wall, window, tree, bush or other
obstruction in the signal path.
•
Closer is better.
•
Windows reflect the RF (radio frequency) signal.
•
Metal absorbs the signal and reduces the range.
•
Stucco has a metal mesh that absorbs the signal.
•
Do not mount the remote sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the
effective range.
Interference:
•
Consider items in the signal path between the remote sensor and the weather station.
