Page 25: Mounting And Placement Of Sensors And Display
MOUNTING AND PLACEMENT OF SENSORS AND DISPLAY IMPORTANT: Ensure that all of the sensor data can be received at the intended mounting locations before you drill mounting holes. The outdoor sensors have a wireless range of 200- feet. Keep in mind that the 200-foot range equates to an open-air scenario with no obstructions. Each obstruction (roof, walls, floors, ceilings, etc.) will reduce the range. -
Page 26: Wind Sensor
WIND SENSOR The wind sensor must be installed with the front of the sensor (the solar panel) facing true South, or the reported wind direction will not be accurate. Mount within the 200-foot wireless range of the thermo-hygro sensor and on the same side of the house. -
Page 27: Thermo-Hygro Sensor
THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR The thermo-hygro sensor is "weather resistant", but not "water proof". To ensure an extended life for the sensor, mount it in a semi-covered place out of the elements at a minimum height of 6 feet. An ideal location for the thermo-hygro sensor is under the eaves on the North side of the house to avoid the effects of sunlight. -
