MOUNTING
Note: Before permanently mounting ensure that the indoor 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
indoor 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. We recommend that you mount the remote
temperature sensor on a North-facing wall. The sending range is 80ft—
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 indoor 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.
Through the three screw holes of the bracket, mark
the mounting surface with a pencil.
3) Where marked, start the screw holes into mounting
surface.
4) Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface.
Ensure that the screws are flush with the bracket.
B. MOUNTING WITH ADHESIVE TAPE
