SELECT A LOCATION TO MOUNT SENSOR

• Select a location protected f rom water and other
precipitation. T he case is w ater resi stant, not water proof.

• Place the sensor in a dry, shaded area. Avoid locations with
direct sun, to prevent in accurat e r eading s.

• Fog and mist will not harm the sensor bu t direct precipitat i on
must be avoided.

• Note: Exposing the sensor case to extreme humidity may
tem por arily dis rupt dat a. The sensor case reads humidity,
but should not be submerged in water.

• Select a location within range of the Internet gateway
(see “IMPORTANT SETUP & OPERATION NOTES”).

CONFIRM CONNECTION BEFORE MOUNTING

• IMPORTANT: Before permanently mounting…Test sensor
in the desired mounting location for at least 1 hour to

confirm good reception. Confirm consistent readings on your
account at
mounting. Move the sensor closer to the Internet
Gateway if the signal is lost or not received.

• Mount the sensor after the activation process
(see “SETUP AND ACTIVATION”).

the sensor and place i t on any fl at surface.

PLACEMENT OF TEMPERATURE PROBE (Optional)

• Confirm that the end of the probe cable is secured in the
socket inside the sensor (See Diagram 1).

• Insert the dr y temperature probe MODEL #: D000.101.BG
on 6 F t . cable i nto a refriger ator or freezer , or dry soil, etc.
for a separate reading of air or soil temperature.

• The d ry temperature probe wire is not for use i n wat er .

IMPORTANT SETUP & OPERATION NOTES

• The sensor has a wi rel ess range of 20 0 f eet (60.96 m). The
200 ft. range equates to open air with no obstructions, and
that radio waves DO NOT curve around objects. Actual
transmission range will vary depending on what is in the path
of the signal. Each obstruction (roof, walls, floors, ceilings,
etc.) wi ll effecti vely cut signal range in half.

• Metal, stucco, and some ty pes of glass ca n redu ce signal
range by as muc h as ¾ or m ore, compared to the ½
reduction typical of most obstructions. It is possible to
receive a signal through these materials, however maximum
range will be reduced due to their tendency to absorb or
reflect a much larger portion of the sensor’s signal.

• The sensor meas ures and updates th e tem peratur e and
humidi ty on t he LCD every 6 second s.

Note: The new measurement is reported to your account at
intervals that you select using your online account.
