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.

General

The base station and outdoor sensor exchange data over a
radio frequency. Location is therefore a determining factor
for the range of the wireless connection.
Pay attention to the following:
‚ The maximum distance etween 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.
