Mount Your Weather Envoy
You can place your Envoy on your desktop or install it on a wall near your router.
Envoy Location
You should place the Envoy in a location where it is easily accessible and can be easily
connected to a router. For more accurate readings, follow these suggestions:
• Avoid placing the Envoy in direct sunlight. This may cause erroneous inside temperature
and humidity readings and may damage the unit.
• Avoid placing the Envoy near radiators or heating/air conditioning ducts.
• If you are mounting the Envoy on a wall, choose an interior wall. Avoid exterior walls
that tend to heat up or cool down depending on the weather.
The range of the radio transmission that the Envoy can receive from the wireless ISS
depends on several factors. Try to position the Envoy as close to the transmitting
weather station as possible for best results.
Typical maximum ranges are:
• Line of sight: 1000 feet (300 m).
• Under most conditions: 200 - 400 feet (60 - 120 m).
Other range and transmission considerations include:
• Range may be reduced by walls, ceilings, trees, foliage, a metal roof or other large metal
structures or objects such as aluminum siding, metal ducts, and metal appliances, such as
refrigerators.
• Transmission between wireless units may be obscured by something unidentifiable, or by
some obstacle that can’t be worked around.
Note: For best results, orient the ISS antenna and the Envoy antenna so that the orientation and angles
of the antennas are parallel to each other.
For better reception over greater distances or for weaker signals, consider using a
Wireless Repeater (#7626 or 7627) or Long-Range Repeaters (# 7654) to strengthen the
signal or increase the distance between your ISS and the Weather Envoy.
