you mount the sensor.
• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.
• Do not place the sensor more than 50 metres (164
feet) from the main (indoor) unit.
• Position the sensor so that it faces the main (indoor)
unit, minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls,
and furniture.
• Place the sensor in a location with a clear view to
the sky, away from metallic or electronic objects.
• Position the sensor close to the main unit during cold
winter months as below-freezing temperatures may
affect battery performance and signal transmission.
You may need to experiment with various locations to
get the best results.
