1. Information regarding transmittal from remote sensor to display unit e It is very important that you activate the batteries in the remote sensor BEFORE activating the batteries in the display unit As soon as the batteries are inserted in the remote sensor it will begin sending thermo measurement data The display unit will start receiving data as soon as its batteries are activated Before mounting the sensor at its final position we strongly recommend ensuring the successful communication which means checking the data on the display unit To do so place the sensor within a radius of approx one meter of the display unit Make sure there are no sources of disturbance in the vicinity of the two devices e As soon as the measurement data appears on the display unit you may mount the sensor within the maximum distance of 30m at a position of your choice REMARK e Before operating the device wait until data from the sensor appears on the display unit e The effective receiving radius may be limited by building structures e g reinforced concrete walls metal surfaces or grates electronic devices as well as the position of the sensor and or the receiver Placement of the sensor and the display unit e Place the sensor so that the back or front side is facing the receiver If possible avoid shields or disturbances in the line of transmission The remote sensor is weatherproof Avoid direct sunlight rain or snow Preferable are measuring p2.
