First: Place the outdoor sensor in the desired shaded location and the projection alarm in

the home. Wait approximately 1 hour before permanently mounting the outdoor sensor to

ensure that there is proper reception.

POSITION

• Mount outdoor temperature outdoor sensors vertically.

• Protect the outdoor sensor from standing rain or snow and from the overhead sun,

which can cause it to read incorrectly.

• Mounting under an eave or deck rail works well.

• If you choose, you can construct a small roof or box for the outdoor sensor. Be sure

the box has vents.

• Mount the outdoor sensor on the North side to prevent the sun from causing

incorrect readings.

• Mount at least 6 feet in the air for a strong RF (radio frequency) signal.

• Outdoor sensors are water resistant, not waterproof.

• Avoid more than one wall between the outdoor sensor and the projection alarm.

• The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 330 feet (100 meters).

• Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal objects can

reduce the range.

• Do not mount near electrical wires, transmitting antennas or other items that will

interfere

with the signal.

• RF (radio frequency) signals do not travel well through moisture or dirt.

• Do not mount the outdoor sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the

effective range.

MOUNT

Option 1:

 Install one mounting screw (not included) into a wall.

 Place the outdoor sensor onto the screw (hanging hole on the

backside).

 Gently pull down to lock the screw in place.

Option 2:

• Insert the mounting screw through the front of the outdoor sensor and into the wall.

• Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten).
