• Use a screw or nail to affix the remote sensor to the wall, as shown in Figure 5 (a) or
• Hang the sensor using a string or zip tie, as shown in Figure 5 (b).

Note: Make sure the sensor is mounted vertically and not lying down on a flat surface. This will
insure optimum reception. Wireless signals are impacted by distance, interference (other weather
stations, wireless phones, wireless routers, TVs and computer monitors), and transmission barriers,
such as walls. In general, wireless signals will not penetrate solid metal and earth (down a hill, for
example).
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.
