Once the sensor is a ct ivated and bu i ldi ng a measur emen t log,
you can download the data as a comma separated values
(CSV) file. You must use an application such as Microsoft
Excel® or Google Docs® that supports comma separated
values ( CSV) form att ed files to view the t able d ata.
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”).

MOUNT TO WALL WITH SCREWS
1. Remove the mounting bracket
2. Place bracket over the desired location.
3. Mark mounting surface with a pencil through
the 2 holes of t he bracket.
4. Scr ew bra c ket o nto surface an d
tighten screws to bracket.
5. Ins ert the sensor back into the bracket.
FREE STANDING
Attach the mo unting bracket t o t he bo t tom or top of
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 .

• Loo sely coil and secu re extra cord with a t wist t ie or secu re
with tape (n ot includ ed).
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.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the bat tery cover by sliding the cover down.
2. Observing the correct polarity install 2-AAA batteries. The
batteries will fit tightly (to avoid start-up p roblems m ake s ure
they do n ot spring f ree).
3. Do not mi x old and new b att er ies.
4. Do not mix alkaline, lithium, standard or rechargeable
batteries.
5. Replace the battery cover by sliding upwards and check that
it is securely fitted.

The LED light turns OFF when not needed to save battery
power. The previously stored information in the temperature
and humidity sensor will not be affected or cancelled while you
change the batteries.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
• Avo id ext reme temperatures, vibration and shock.
• Clean the sensor wi th a soft, damp cloth. Do not use
solvents or scouring agents.
• Do not submerge the sensor case in water.
