Thank you for selecting the Oregon ScientificTM UV Sensor (UVN800). This sensor is compatible with main units that carry this logo .
Keep this manual handy as you use your new product. It contains practical step-by-step instructions, as well as technical specifications and warnings you should know.
The UV sensor measures the UV Index. It transmits data to the main unit every 73 seconds and has a maximum transmission range of 100 metres (330 feet).
NOTE
To get the most accurate readings, place the sensor in a position that has minimum obstructions (i.e. walls and doors) between it and the main unit. The sensor should be placed in an upright position, away from any shade or shadows that may affect how accurate the sensor provides readings.
For best results:
The transmission range may vary depending on many factors. You may need to experiment with various locations to get the best results.
Standard Alkaline batteries contain significant amounts of water. Because of this they will freeze in low temperatures of approximately -12°C (10°F). Consumer grade Lithium batteries have a much lower threshold for temperature with an estimated freezing range of below -30°C (-22°F).
Wireless ranges can be impacted by a variety of factors such as extremely cold temperatures. Extreme cold may temporarily reduce the effective range between the sensor and the base station. If the unit's performance fails due to low temperature, the unit will resume proper functioning as the temperature rises to within the normal temperature range (i.e. no permanent damage will occur to the unit due to low temperatures).
To reset the unit, use a thin blunt object to press RESET.
