MOUNTING
Note: Before permanently mounting ensure that the Weather Center is able to receive
WWVB signals from the desired location. Extreme and sudden changes in temperature
will decrease the accuracy of the Weather Center, and changes in elevation will result
with inaccurate weather forecasting for the next 12 to 24 hours. These changes will
require a 12 to 24 hour wait before obtaining reliable data. To achieve a true
temperature reading, avoid mounting the TX4U—Remote Thermo-Hygro (or any sensor)
where direct sunlight can reach the sensor. We recommend that you mount the sensor on
a North-facing wall. The sending range is 80-ft (25m) however obstacles such as walls,
concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range. Place both units in their desired
location, and wait approximately 15 minutes before permanently mounting to ensure that
there is proper reception. The Weather Center should display a temperature in the
OUTDOOR DISPLAY within 5 minutes of setting up. If the Weather Center loses the
signal from the sensor, it will display the last temperature reading for 15 minutes. After
15 minutes of not receiving any signals the OUTDOOR DISPLAY of the Weather Center
will display “- -.-”.
THE TX4U—REMOTE THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR
The TX4U—Remote Thermo-Hygro Sensor can be mounted in two ways:
• with the use of screws or,
• using the adhesive tape.
A. MOUNTING WITH THE SCREWS
1. Remove the mounting bracket/receptor from the packaging plastic.
2. Place the mounting bracket over the desired mounting surface. Through the
2 screw holes of the bracket, mark the mounting surface with a pencil.
3. Where marked, start the screw holes using the provided screws. Remove
screws from the mounting surface.
4. Align the mounting bracket with the started screw holes.
5. Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. The screws should be
flush with the bracket.
