  • Page 8: Additional Notes For The Solar Wind Mode

    ADDITIONAL NOTES FOR THE SOLAR WIND SENSOR MODE: IDLE MODE This mode aims to reduce the power consumption of the transmitter. Under this mode, the sensor stops the transmission of signal, checks the battery voltage and detects the solar cell condition. The IDLE mode happens if the battery voltage is low. Note: The sensor will check and charge up the rechargeable battery automatically.
  • Page 9: Mounting The Sensors And Placement Of The Wireless Display

    MOUNTING THE SENSORS AND PLACEMENT OF THE WIRELESS DISPLAY: IMPORTANT: Ensure that all of the sensor data can be received at the intended mounting locations before you drill mounting holes. The outdoor sensors have a wireless range of 50 meters. Keep in mind that the 50 meters range equates to an open air scenario with no obstructions.
