2.4.3 Sensor Operation Verification
Verify the indoor and outdoor humidity match closely with the console and sensor array in the same
location (about 10’ apart). The sensors should be within 10% (the accuracy is ± 5%). Allow about 30
minutes for both sensors to stabilize.

3 Remote Sensor Installation
3.1 Sensor Placement
It is recommended you mount the remote sensor on a north facing wall, in a shaded area, at a height at
or above the receiver. Direct sunlight and radiant heat sources will result in inaccurate temperature
readings. Although the sensor is weatherproof, it is best to mount in a well protected area, such as an
eve.
Use 3 screws (included) to affix the mounting bracket to the wall with a precision screwdriver.
Connect the remote sensor to the wall bracket. It is recommended to drill pilot holes first.

Note: Make sure the sensor is mounted vertically and not lying down on a flat surface. This will
insure optimum reception.

wireless signals will not penetrate solid metal and earth (down a hill, for example).
