Inaccurate Outdoor Temperature Reading
Explanation: High outdoor temperature readings are generally a location issue. Low
outdoor temperature readings are power related or a sensors going bad.
• The outdoor sensor reads the environment where it is mounted. When mounted
inside the home, it will read inside temperature.
• When the outdoor sensor reads high during the day, but not at night, it is a
positioning
problem.
• Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames or reflected heat.
Side-by-side test: Bring the outdoor sensor in the house and place it next to the projection
alarm for 2 hours.
• Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperatures should be within 4
degrees to be within tolerance.
• If the outdoor sensor reads correctly when next to the projection alarm, try a
different location outside.
Intermittent Outdoor Temperature
Explanation: Intermittent problems are the hardest to resolve. RF (radio frequency)
communication may come and go occasionally. This can be normal in some environments
(e.g. moister climates). If outdoor sensor signal is lost, please wait 2-4 hours for the signal
to reconnect on its own.
• Move the outdoor sensor to a closer location.
•
Distance/Resistance
• Check
Batteries.
Freezer test: Confirm the projection alarm is reading the correct outdoor sensor. Place the
outdoor sensor in the freezer for an hour and watch the temperature drop on the
projection alarm.
Indoor distance test: Please complete the
alarm 5-10 feet apart and inside to establish a strong connection.
• After 15 minutes, if there is a reading in the outdoor temperature area, move the
outdoor sensor to another room with one wall between the outdoor sensor and the
projection alarm.
• Observe to see if the temperature remains on consistently for 1 hour.
• If the temperature remains on while in the house, then it is likely a
issue.
• Move the outdoor sensor to different locations outside to find a location where the
temperature reading will hold.
