REMOTE SENSOR (RTHR328N)

This product is shipped with the RTHR328N Remote
Sensor. The main unit can collect data from up to
5 sensors.
The THGR328N and THR228N sensors are also

For best results:
• Insert the batteries and select the unit, channel, and
radio signal format before you mount the sensor.
• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.
• Do not place the sensor more than 30 metres
(100 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.
The transmission range may vary and is subject
