Sensors placed is shade on the north side of the house will experience lower daily highs and higher daily
lows because of the radiant heat (and cooling) of the walls and structure around it. This is known as thermal
mass and has a time averaging affect (just like the temperature of your pool will respond faster than a lake).
Optional Sensor Radiation Shields (Item SRS100LX) are available from Ambient Weather for mounting the
sensor in an open area.

Note: We recommend fresh alkaline batteries for temperature ranges between -4 °F and 140 °F and
fresh lithium batteries for temperature ranges between -40 °F and 140 °F. The solar panel does not charge
the batteries, so rechargeable batteries are not needed or recommended.
