Base Unit Remote Sensor
Base unit location –
Place the unit indoors in a well-ventilated location away from direct sunlight.
Remote sensor location –
The transmission range of the remote sensor is 100 feet.The effective
transmission range is vastly affected by obstacles such as walls, sheds,
trees,etc.Try various set ups for the best results. Shorten the distance
between receiver and remote units when necessary. Place indoor in a
well ventilated location away from direct sunlight. Place the sensor in
a dry, shaded area. Direct sunlight will heat the casing and inflate temperatures readings.
Important: Though the remote unit is weather proof, it should be
placed away from direct sunlight, rain, snow and should never be submerged in water.
A maximum of 3 remote sensor units can be registered. One
remote sensor is included.To purchase additional Remote
Sensors (Taylor model 1534), please visit www.partshelf.com.
