You can permanently damage the outdoor sensor
Note: We recommend lithium batteries for cold weather climates, but alkaline
batteries are sufficient for most climates. We do not recommend rechargeable
batteries. They have lower voltages, do not operate well at wide temperature ranges,
and do not last as long, resulting in poorer reception.
3.5. Mount assembled outdoor sensor package
3.5.1 Before you mount
Before proceeding with the outdoor mounting detailed in this section, you may want
to skip to setup instructions in section 6.2 and onwards first, while you keep the
assembled outdoor sensor package nearby (although preferably not closer than 5 ft.
from the console). This will make any troubleshooting and adjustments easier and
avoids any distance or interference related issues from the setup.
After setup is complete and everything is working, return here for outdoor mounting.
If issues show up after outdoor mounting they are almost certainly related to distance,
obstacles etc.
3.5.2 Mounting
You can attach a pipe to a permanent structure and then attach the sensor package
to it (see Figure 9). The U-Bolts will accommodate a pipe diameter of 1-2 inches
(pipe not included).
