When the 915 MHz signal is received, do not
If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all system units have to be reset (see Setting up).
POSITIONING:
Prior to permanently affixing any of the units, please ensure the following points are considered:
•Cable lengths of the units meet with your distance requirements at the point of fixing
•Signals from the sensors can be received by the base station at points of mounting
La Crosse Technology Sensor Extension Cable
When you require additional length to properly mount your sensor, you can use La Crosse Technology extension cable. The extension cable is 32 feet in length and comes with the appropriate connecter attached.
Please visit your local retailer or www.greatbigoutlet.com to purchase.
