any building, structure, ground, or roof top.
3. Avoid wind and rain obstructions. The rule of thumb is to install the sensor array at least four times the
distance of the height of the tallest obstruction. For example, if the building is 20’ tall and the mounting pole is
6’ tall, install the sensor array 4 x (20 – 6)’ = 56’ away.
4. Mount the sensor array in direct sunlight for accurate temperature readings.
5. Installing the weather station over sprinkler systems or other unnatural vegetation may affect temperature and
humidity readings. We suggest mounting the sensor array over natural vegetation.
6. Wireless Range. Radio communication between receiver and transmitter in an open field can reach up to 1,000
feet, providing there are no interfering obstacles such as buildings, trees, vehicles and high voltage lines.
Wireless signals will not penetrate metal buildings. Under most conditions, the maximum wireless range is
300’.
7. Radio Interference. Computers, radios, televisions and other sources can interfere with radio communications
between the sensor array and tablet. Please take this into consideration when choosing tablet or mounting
locations. Make sure your display tablet is at least five feet away from any electronic device to avoid
interference.
