Mounting/Positioning Remote Sensor; Fahrenheit/Celsius; 12-Hour Time Format - La Crosse Technology BBB86118 Faqs

Mounting/Positioning Remote sensor

First: Place the remote sensor in the desired shaded location and the atomic clock
in the home. Wait approximately 1 hour before permanently mounting the remote
sensor to ensure that there is proper reception.
POSITION
Outdoor:
 Protect the remote 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 remote sensor. Be
sure a box has vents.
 Mount the remote 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.
 Do not mount the remote sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the
effective range.
 Remote sensors are water resistant, not waterproof.
Indoor or Outdoor:
 Mount remote temperature sensor vertically.
 Avoid more than one wall between the remote sensor and the atomic clock.
 The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 200 feet (60 meters).
 Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal objects can
reduce the range.
 Do not mount near electrical wires, transmitting antennas or other items that
will interfere with the signal.
 RF (radio frequency) signals do not travel well through moisture or dirt.
MOUNT
Option 1:
 Install one mounting screw (not included) into a wall.
 Place the remote sensor onto the screw (hanging hole on the backside).
 Gently pull down to lock the screw in place.
Option 2:
 Insert the mounting screw through the front of the remote sensor and into the
wall.
 Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten).
