Choosing a location
NOTE on material damage
Protect the base station and wireless sensor
from dust, impacts, extreme temperatures
and direct sunlight.
Protect the base station from moisture.
Position the base station exclusively in a
dry, closed room. The wireless sensor is
protected against moisture, but must be
protected from direct exposure to moisture,
e.g. rain.
Signal reception between the base station and
wireless outdoor sensor
The maximum distance between the base station
and the outdoor sensor is 60 metres. This range is,
however, only possible with "direct line of sight".
Protective construction materials such as reinforced
concrete reduce or inhibit signal reception between
the base station and outdoor sensor.
Devices such as TVs, cordless phones, computers, and
fluorescent tubes can likewise disrupt signal reception.
Do not place the base station and the outdoor sensor
directly on the ground. This limits the range.
At low temperatures in winter, the performance of the
outdoor sensor batteries can markedly decrease. This
reduces the transmission range.
