humidity or certain conditions. Please wait 2-4 hours for it to reconnect on its own.
RESISTANCE/DISTANCE (walls, windows, metal) reduces range and could cause
interference -Proper distance (up to 330ft/100m without obstructions)
IF NO CHANGE after 30 minutes:
1. Bring sensor 10 ft from station. (recommended batteries with expiration date 6 years in
advance of current year for best performance. TIP: Avoid rechargeable or lithium brands in
display
2. After 15 minutes, move sensor to next room (1 wall separation) from station for 1 hour.
3. If no connection loss in 1 hour, move sensor just outside. After another hour, continue
moving sensor back to original location. Also below proper mounting of the sensor
Sensor Mounting
• Place your thermo-hygro sensor at least 6 feet off the ground.
• For accurate temperature readings your sensor needs to be shaded from the sun
and in a well-ventilated area. Trapped moisture will cause inaccurate readings.
• Mount your sensor vertically to allow moisture to drain out the bottom.
• Preferred location is on a north facing wall under an eave or deck rail.
• Avoid placing near a metal roof that will cause it to read high on sunny days.
• Avoid other sources of heat such as soffit vents, and window or door frames.
• For accurate humidity readings, avoid placement near vegetation and lakes or other
bodies of water when possible.
• Maximum transmission distance from your thermos-hygro sensor to your station, in
open air is 330 feet (100 meters).
• Insert the mounting screw through the front of the transmitter and into the wall.
Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten).
