Choose A Location For The Temperature/Humidity Station; Testing Transmission From Proposed Location - DAVIS Wireless Temperature/Humidity Station Install Manual

If the LED flashes repeatedly but your console isn't picking up a signal any-
where in the room, it could be related to one of the following causes:
1. The DIP switches were not correctly set on the transmitter.
Review the procedure on page 4.
2. The ID was not correctly set on the console/receiver.
Review the procedure on page 5.
3. Reception is being disrupted by RF (radio frequency) interference.
4. There is a problem with the console/receiver.
See "Contacting Davis Instruments" on page 11.
Note: Remember to set the Test DIP switch OFF when you're finished testing wireless transmission.
If it is left ON, the blinking LED will reduce battery life significantly.
Reassembling Radiation Shield
1. Slide the three open plates over the threaded studs.
2. Slide the two closed plates over the threaded studs.
Ease the antenna through the antenna deployment hole.
3. Place a flat washer, lock washer and wing nut over one of the studs.
4. Finger-tighten the wing nut.
5. Repeat #3. and #4. until all three wing nuts are secure.

HOOSING A
Consider the following factors as you choose a location:
Do not mount the station near any source of cold or heat that might distort tem-
perature measurements.
The station's radiation shield works best in a location with a steady breeze. Mount
it away from fences, buildings, trees, or other obstructions.
Mount the station over plants or soil if possible.
Do not install over or near sprinklers. The radiation shield is not designed to pro-
tect sensors from water that is sprayed upwards.
If mounting on a building, the preferred location is on the north side in the North-
ern Hemisphere and on the south side in the Southern Hemisphere.
Mount it on the side that receives the least sunlight throughout the day.

It is very important to test reception from the proposed location before perma-
nently mounting the temperature/humidity station.
