2.2 Suíomh Braiteora Cianda

Place the wireless remote sensor outdoors in a shaded, dry location, away from direct sunlight and precipitation, to ensure accurate temperature and humidity readings. The transmission range is up to 100 meters (328 feet) in an open area. The main unit supports up to 3 remote sensors (one included).

2.3 Initial Setup and Synchronization

After powering on both the main unit and the remote sensor, the main unit will automatically attempt to synchronize with the remote sensor and the atomic clock signal (WWVB). This process may take 10-15 minutes. Ensure the main unit is placed in an area where it can receive a clear signal for atomic time synchronization.
