Testing the Sensor

2

• If possible, place the sensor at least 5 feet from any surface which is

exposed to direct sunlight because the heat from this surface may affect air
temperature readings in the vicinity.

• Place the sensor in a location at least 10 feet away from lights or lamps.
• If you are unsure about a location's exposure to the night sky, check for dew

at that location on a light dewy morning. If the area is dry, the location
should work well.

• Keep the sensor and most of the cable at least 10 feet from 110 Vac, 60Hz

utility power. Do not run the sensor cable parallel to house wiring. Mount
the sensor at least 30 feet from high-voltage power lines and transformers.

Typical Standard GroWeather/EnviroMonitor Installation
The illustration on the next page shows a typical installation for the
GroWeather (used to measure air temperature), Energy EnviroMonitor, or the
Health EnviroMonitor. The sensor cable attaches to connector S2 on the sensor
interface module (SIM). On GroWeather systems, the sensor can also attach to
connector S3 to measure a second temperature (such as soil temperature).
