MOUNTING AND PLACEMENT OF SENSORS AND DISPLAY
IMPORTANT: Ensure that all of the sensor data can be received at the intended mounting
locations before you drill mounting holes. The outdoor sensors have a wireless range of 200-
feet. Keep in mind that the 200-foot range equates to an open-air scenario with no obstructions.
Each obstruction (roof, walls, floors, ceilings, etc.) will reduce the range.
The thermo-hygro sensor measures outdoor temperature & humidity and collects the data from
the wind and the rain sensors and sends all outdoor weather data to the wireless display, so the
thermo-hygro sensor must be within the 200-foot wireless range of the wireless display. This
allows the wind and rain sensors to be placed relative to the thermo-hygro sensor rather than
the wireless display. See the Wireless Connection Diagram below.
• The wind and rain sensors must be mounted within the 200-foot wireless range of the
thermo-hygro sensor and on the same side of the house. In addition, 915 MHz sensors
transmit better at a minimum mount height of 6 feet.
• The wireless display must be within the 80-foot wireless range of the USB transceiver to
send weather data to the PC.
If the sensor wireless icons drop from the display as you move them into their intended
locations, the sensors may be too far from the wireless display. Try moving the wireless display
or the sensors closer and wait a few minutes to see if the wireless icons display again. If the
wireless icons are still not displayed after re-positioning the sensors or the wireless display,
press and hold the /DATE
(▲) button for 2 seconds to re-synchronize the wireless display with
the sensors.
