    3 Remote Sensor Installation It is recommended you mount the remote sensor on a north facing wall, in a shaded area. Direct sunlight and radiant heat sources will result in inaccurate temperature readings. Although the sensor is water resistant, it is best to mount in a protected area, such as under an eve. Use a screw or nail (not included) to affix the remote sensor to the wall, as shown in Figure 6.
