Meade Instruments TE636W - Manual (Page 5)

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.
