protected area, at least 6 feet from the ground to avoid damage and ensure accurate readings. The
transmitter is water resistant, not waterproof and should not be placed anywhere it will become
submerged in water or subject to standing water or snow.
Choose a location for the transmitter that is within range of the Projection Alarm and under an overhang
for accuracy. Wireless transmitting range in open air is over 200 feet (60 meters) from outdoor transmitter
to Projection Alarm.
Option 1:
• Install one mounting screw (not included) into a wall leaving approximately ½ of an inch
(12.7mm) extended.
• Place the transmitter onto the screw, using the hanging hole on the backside.
• Gently pull the transmitter down to lock the screw into place.
Option 2:
• Insert the mounting screw (not included) through the front of the transmitter and into the
wall.
• Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten).
To achieve a true temperature reading, mount where direct sunlight cannot reach the outdoor transmitter.
Mount the outdoor transmitter on a North-facing wall or in any well shaded area. Under an eave or deck
rail work well. The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 200 feet (60 meters). Obstacles such
as walls, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal objects can reduce the range. Place the transmitter
at least 6 feet in the air to improve signal transmission.
