Wireless Outdoor Sensor Installation Options

NOTE: Move the Wireless Outdoor Sensor into its intended location and wait for
10 minutes to make sure the outdoor temperature is still being received by the
Wireless Display. Press the “SNOOZE” Key on your Wireless Display to show
the outdoor temperature. If the display shows - -,-F for the outdoor temperature,
the signal cannot reach the Wireless Display. Find a closer location to mount the
Wireless Outdoor Sensor and wait 10 minutes to check the Wireless Display
again for reception.

DO NOT mount the Wireless Outdoor Sensor in a permanent fashion until
you are sure the signal is being received by the Wireless Display.
To Surface Mount the Outdoor Sensor:
We have provided a mounting plate that you can attach to a surface
with the supplied screws. The Sensor can be positioned on a flat
surface by securing the stand to the bottom by gently pushing the
bottom of the Sensor onto the holding pegs of the stand until they
click into place in the grooves on the Sensor.
To Wall Mount the Outdoor Sensor:
The Outdoor Sensor is weather resistant, but not water proof. To
ensure maximum Sensor life, mount it in a covered place out of the
elements like under the eaves. Placement on the North side of your
home will provide the most accurate readings. Mount it about 18”
down from the eaves for optimum performance. This ensures that the
weather data collected by the Outdoor Sensor will not be affected by
the temperature of the air leaving the attic.
We have provided a mounting plate that you can attach to the wall with the
supplied screws. Gently snap the Sensor onto the holding pegs on the mounting
plate after the plate is screwed to the wall. When the holding pegs are securely
locked into the slots on the Sensor, you will hear a “Click”.
Gateway Installation
The Gateway should be installed indoors in an
easy-to-reach location. Registration requires
that you press the gray button on the
Gateway. It can be mounted securely to the
wall with the included mounting plate and
drywall anchors.
