Position the Weather Station
The weather station is free standing with the fold out base stand or can
be wall mounted.
Wall mounted:
Fix three screws (not included) into the
desired wall, leaving the head extended
about 0.2 inches (5mm).
Hang the weather station onto the screws.
Ensure that it locks into place before
releasing the weather station.
Free standing: Simply pull out the stand from the back of
the weather station and place on a flat surface.
Position:
Choose a location 6 feet or more from electronics such
as cordless phones, gaming systems, televisions,
microwaves, routers, baby monitors, etc., which can prevent signal
reception.
Place within range of the outdoor transmitters. The maximum
transmitting range in open air is 200-feet (60 meters).
Be aware of electrical wires and plumbing within a wall. This will
interfere with signal reception.
Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large
metal objects can reduce the range.
For best WWVB reception, place with the front or back facing
Colorado, near and exterior wall.
Position the Outdoor Transmitter
Once the weather station shows the outdoor temperature/humidity,
place it and the transmitter in the desired locations and wait
approximately 1-hour before permanently mounting the transmitter to
ensure that there is proper reception. The transmitter should be
mounted vertically, in a shaded, protected area, at least 6 feet from the
ground to avoid damage and ensure accurate readings. The transmitter
is water resistant, not waterproof and should not be placed anywhere it
will become submerged in water or subject to standing water or snow.
Wireless transmitting range in open air is over 200-feet (60 meters)
from outdoor transmitter to weather station.
Option 1:
Install one mounting screw (not included) into a wall leaving
approximately ½ of an inch (12.7mm) extended.
Place the transmitter onto the screw, using the hanging
hole on the backside.
Gently pull the transmitter down to lock the screw into
place.
Option 2:
Insert the mounting screw (not included) through the
front of the transmitter and into the wall.
Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten).
To achieve a true temperature/humidity reading, mount where direct
sunlight cannot reach the outdoor transmitter. Mount the outdoor
transmitter on a North-facing wall or in any well shaded area. Under an
eave or deck rail work well. The maximum transmitting range in open air
is over 200-feet (60 meters). Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco,
concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range. Place the
transmitter at least 6 feet in the air to improve signal transmission.
