• 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.
