through the process of installing and using a Summit remote. Carefully following these instructions
will help ensure many years of trouble free service from your installation. If you are uneasy about
running wires you should consult a qualified professional. TV antenna, satellite dish, ham radio,
home entertainment and alarm system installers are good choices. You should be able to locate some

Planning the installation
Develop an overall plan
Summit master/remote systems can be used in many ways. Master Summit’s read the wind and
temperature sensors and show the current readings. Summit remotes connect to a master or, another
remote, via a 2400 baud data link and, can show current readings or calculated values. A simple
example is a master in one room and a remote displaying the current readings in a different room.
You can have an unlimited number of remotes connected to a system and, the remotes can be right
next to the master or miles away. The following diagrams illustrate a simple setup and some of the
more complex possibilities. If you are setting up a configuration more complicated than the simple
example, we strongly recommend that you sketch out your plan on paper now.
