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.
Verify the indoor and outdoor temperature match closely with the console and sensor array in the same
location (about 10’ apart). The sensors should be within 4°F (the accuracy is ± 2°F). 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.
3.2 Wireless Reception Considerations
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).
