The following is a table of reception loss vs. the transmission medium. Each
“wall” or obstruction decreases the transmission range by the factor shown
below.
RF Signal Strength Reduction
The solar transmitter
The solar transmitter makes use of solar energy to power the instruments it is connected
to. Note: Use 1.5V LR6 (AA) size batteries. For the solar transmitter to function properly,
make sure the solar receptors on the transmitter are exposed to sunlight and the
connectors on the connection cable are securely plugged in. For best results face the
solar panel north if you reside in the southern hemisphere and south if you reside in the
northern hemisphere.
