MOUNTING
Note: Before permanently mounting, ensure that the Wireless Weather Station is able
to receive WWVB signals from the desired location. Also, extreme and sudden
changes in temperature will decrease the accuracy of the Wireless Weather Station,
and changes in elevation will result with inaccurate weather forecasting for the next 12
to 24 hours. These changes will require a 12 to 24 hour wait before obtaining reliable
data. To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting where direct sunlight can
reach the remote temperature sensor or Wireless Weather Station. While the remote
temperature sensor is weather proof, avoid submersion in water or snow. We
recommend that you mount the remote temperature sensor on an outside North-facing
wall. The sending range is 330ft—obstacles such as walls, concrete, and large metal
objects can reduce the range. Place both units in their desired location, and wait
approximately 15 minutes before permanently mounting to ensure that there is proper
reception. The Wireless Weather Station should display a temperature in the
OUTDOOR LCD within 4 minutes of setting up.
I. THE REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The remote temperature sensor can be mounted in two ways:
• with the use of screws, or
• using the adhesive tape.
A. MOUNTING WITH SCREWS
1) Remove the mounting bracket from the remote temperature
sensor.
2) Place the mounting bracket over the desired location.
3) Through the three screw holes of the bracket, mark the
mounting surface with a pencil.
4) Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. Ensure
that the screws are flush with the bracket.
5) Insert the remote temperature sensor into the bracket.
B. MOUNTING WITH ADHESIVE TAPE
1) With a nonabrasive solution, clean and dry the back of the
mounting bracket and the mounting surface to ensure a
secure hold. The mounting surface should be smooth and
flat.
2) Remove the protective strip from one side of the tape.
3) Adhere the tape to the designated area on the back of the
mounting bracket.
4) Remove the protective strip from the other side of the tape.
5) Position the remote temperature sensor in the desired
location, ensuring that the Wireless Weather Station can
receive the signal.
Note: Mounting with adhesive tape is not recommended as a permanent mounting solution.
Only use the adhesive tape during set-up process.
