MOUNTING
Note:
Before permanently mounting ensure that the indoor weather station is able to receive WWVB
signals from the desired location. Also, extreme and 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
indoor weather 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. Through the three screw holes
of the bracket, mark the mounting surface with a pencil.
3) Where marked, start the screw holes into mounting surface.
4) Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. Ensure that the screws are flush
with 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. Adhere the tape to the
designated area on the back of the mounting bracket.
3) Remove the protective strip from the other side of the tape. Position the remote
temperature sensor in the desired location, ensuring that the indoor temperature
station can receive the signal.
I.
THE INDOOR WEATHER STATION
The indoor weather station can be mounted in several ways:
•
With the use of screws
•
Using its foldout stand
A. MOUNTING WITH SCREWS
1)
Fix a screw (not included) into the desired wall, leaving
approximately 3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended from the
wall.
2)
Place the indoor weather station onto the screw using the hanging hole on the
backside.
3)
Gently pull the indoor weather station down to lock the screw into place.
