the temperature of the air leaving the attic will not affect the weather data collected by the
Outdoor Sensor.
We have provided a mounting plate that you can attach to the wall with the supplied screws.
Gently snap the Sensor onto the holding pegs on the mounting plate after the plate is screwed to
the wall. When the holding pegs are securely locked into the slots on the Sensor, you will hear a
“Click”.
NOTE
: Weather Direct was designed first and foremost as an Internet-driven forecast
station. Its purpose is to give you a 2-day estimate of your local weather forecast 4 times
daily. The option also exists to display National Weather Service alerts.
The TX50U sensor for Weather Direct provides the convenience of an outdoor
temperature. The outdoor temperature does not display continuously on the Weather
Direct display. The TX50U will synchronize with your Weather Direct display and show in
the scrolling window. You can press the “+” key at any time to view the outdoor
temperature.
Gateway Installation
The Gateway should be installed indoors in an easy-to-
reach location. Registration requires that you press the
gray button on the Gateway. It can be mounted
securely to the wall with the included mounting plate
and drywall anchors.
If you require a longer LAN cable to mount the Gateway
in a desired location, any standard Category 5 network
cable will work, but a crossover cable may not work.
Crossover cables designed to connect two computers
without networking hardware may not work with your
Gateway.
NOTE:
Network cables usually have length limitations. The same length limitations will
apply that apply to computers on your home network.
The Gateway sends weather forecasts to your Wireless Display over a maximum 330 ft. range.
Walls and other obstructions between the Gateway and Wireless Display will affect the range.
The Wireless Signal Icon
will indicate the signal strength to let you know if your Gateway and
Wireless Display are within range.
