87 feet. Factoring in the 10 foot room, this leaves a maximum of
77 feet of remaining signal range.
This allowance is typically enough for a frame wall with non-
metallic siding; however certain materials can reduce range even
further. Metal siding, stucco, and some types of glass can reduce
signal range by as much as ¾ or more, compared to the ½
reduction typical of most obstructions. It is possible to receive a
signal through these materials, however maximum range will be
much less due to their tendency to absorb or reflect a much larger
portion of the sensor’s signal.
The remote temperature/humidity sensor transmits a signal every
4 seconds – with variations during updating periods. After the
batteries have been installed, the intelligent weather station will
search for the signal for the duration of 45 seconds. If there is no
temperature or humidity reading in the OUTDOOR LCD after 5
minutes, make sure the units are within range of each other, or
repeat the battery installation procedure.
If a button is pressed before the intelligent weather station
receives the signal from the remote temperature/humidity sensor,
you will need to follow the battery installation procedure again.
To complete the set up of your new wireless intelligent weather station
after the 5 minutes have passed, please follow the steps in the “Manual
Settings” section.
Note:
If the outdoor transmitter signal reception is not successful on the first
frequency of 915MHz for 45 seconds, the frequency is changed to
920MHz, and the learning is tried for another 45 seconds. If it is still not
successful the reception is tried for 45 seconds on 910MHz. This will
also be done during re-synchronization.
