English
Choosing a location
NOTE on material damage
 Protect the base station and wireless sensor
from dust, impacts, extreme temperatures
and direct sunlight.
 Protect the base station from moisture.
Position the base station exclusively in a dry,
closed room. The wireless sensor is protected
against moisture, but must be protected
from direct exposure to moisture, e.g. rain.
General
The base station and outdoor sensor exchange data over a
radio frequency. Location is therefore a determining factor
for the range of the wireless connection.
Pay attention to the following:
 The maximum distance etween the base station
and the outdoor sensor is 60metres. This range is,
however, only possible with “direct line of sight”.
 Protective construction materials such as reinforced
concrete reduce or inhibit signal reception between
the base station and outdoor sensor.
 Devices such as TVs, cordless phones, computers, and
uorescent tubes can likewise disrupt signal reception.
 Do not place the base station and the outdoor sensor
directly on the ground. This limits the range.
 At low temperatures in winter, the performance of the
outdoor sensor batteries can markedly decrease. This
reduces the transmission range.
