Wireless Outdoor Sensor Installation Options 

 



 

NOTE:  Move the Wireless Outdoor Sensor into its intended location and wait for 
10 minutes to make sure the outdoor temperature is still being received by the 
Wireless Display.  Press the “+” Key on your Wireless Display to show the 
outdoor temperature. If the display shows - -,-F for the outdoor temperature, the 
signal cannot reach the Wireless Display.  Find a closer location to mount the 
Wireless Outdoor Sensor and wait 10 minutes to check the Wireless Display 
again for reception.  

 



 

DO NOT mount the Wireless Outdoor Sensor in a permanent fashion until 
you are sure the signal is being received by the Wireless Display. 

To Surface Mount the Outdoor Sensor: 

We have provided a mounting plate that you can attach to a surface 
with the supplied screws.  The Sensor can be positioned on a flat 
surface by securing the stand to the bottom by gently pushing the 
bottom of the Sensor onto the holding pegs of the stand until they 
click into place in the grooves on the Sensor. 

 

To Wall Mount the Outdoor Sensor: 

 

The Outdoor Sensor is weather resistant, but not water proof. To 
ensure maximum Sensor life, mount it in a covered place out of the 
elements like under the eaves. Placement on the North side of your 
home will provide the most accurate readings. Mount it about 18” 
down from the eaves for optimum performance. This ensures that the 
weather data collected by the Outdoor Sensor will not be affected by 

the temperature of the air leaving the attic. 
 
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”. 
 

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.
