Mounting/Positioning Outdoor sensor

First: Place the outdoor sensor in the desired shaded location and the temperature station
in the home. Wait approximately 1 hour before permanently mounting the outdoor sensor
to ensure that there is proper reception.
POSITION
• Mount outdoor temperature outdoor sensors vertically.
• Protect the outdoor sensor from standing rain or snow and from the overhead sun,
which can cause it to read incorrectly.
• Mounting under an eave or deck rail works well.
• If you choose, you can construct a small roof or box for the outdoor sensor. Be sure a
box has vents.
• Mount the outdoor sensor on the North side where to prevent sun from causing
incorrect readings.
• Mount at least 6 feet in the air for a strong RF (radio frequency) signal.
• Outdoor sensors are water resistant, not waterproof.
• Avoid more than one wall between the outdoor sensor and the temperature station.
• The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 300 feet (91 meters).
• Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal objects can
reduce the range.
