obstruction (roof, walls, floors, ceilings, thick trees, etc.) will effectively cut signal
range in half.
Example: A Wireless Temperature Station with a 330 feet range is mounted on an
interior wall, so that the signal has to pass through one interior wall, one exterior
wall, and across the 10 feet width of the room between the 2 walls. The first wall
will reduce the range to 165 feet, and the second wall will reduce the range to 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.
To complete the set up of your Wireless Temperature Station after the 15 minutes
have passed please follow the steps that follow in the Detailed Set-Up Guide.
DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE
I. BATTERY INSTALLATION (When one temperature sensor is being
used)
1. First, insert the batteries to the temperature sensor (see “A. Remote
Temperature sensor” below).
2. Within 30 seconds of powering up the sensor, insert the batteries to the
Temperature Station (see “B. Wireless Temperature Station” below). Once
the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly.
Following the indoor temperature and humidity, and the time as 12:00 will
be displayed. If they are not shown in LCD after 60 seconds, remove the
batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them. Once the
indoor data is displayed user may proceed to the next step.
3. After the batteries are inserted, the Temperature Station will start receiving
data signal from the sensor. The outdoor temperature should then be
displayed on the Temperature Station. If this does not happen after 2
minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset
from step 1 and the signal reception icon is no longer shown.
