PLACEMENT

The remote sensor should be placed under eaves or a similar location with free air circulation, sheltered from direct sunlight and extreme weather.

Ideally, place the remote sensor over soil, rather than asphalt, which would cause

false readings.

Avoid placing the remote sensor near sources of heat, such as chimneys or hot air exhaust vents.

Avoid areas that collect heat from the sun and radiate heat, such as metal, brick or concrete structures, paving, and patios.

The international standard for the valid air temperature measurements is 4 feet (1.25 meters) above the ground.

OPERATION

Immediately after batteries are installed, the remote sensor will start transmitting a temperature and humidity data to the main unit.
