PLACEMENT • The remote sensor should be placed under eaves or a similar location with free air circulation, sheltered from direct sunlight and extreme weather. • Ideally, place the remote sensor over soil, rather than asphalt, which would cause false readings. • Avoid placing the remote sensor near sources of heat, such as chimneys and heating elements. • Avoid areas that collect heat from the sun and radiate heat, such as metal, brick or concrete structures, paving, and patios. • The international standard for the valid air temperature measurements is 4 feet (1.25meters) above the ground. OPERATION Immediately after batteries are installed, the remote sensor will start transmitting a temperature data to the main unit.
