Location & Mounting Considerations
The Temperature & Humidity Sensor is designed to be easy to install, and
portable, but before installing the sensor, the following items should be
considered:
While the Temperature & Humidity Sensor is designed for outdoor use, do not
use the sensor outside of the environmental temperature range, per the product
support page).
The sensor body is designed for outdoor use, but do not allow it to be
submerged.
Do not use the sensor near sources of extreme hot or cold, as this can affect
accurate ambient temperature readings, and in some cases may damage the
sensor.
As with most electronic devices, even if intended for outdoor use, the useful
life of the device can be extended if it is protected from the elements.
Direct intense sunlight, rain and snow over an extended period can discolor or
damage the device. Consider placing the sensor where it has overhead cover
and/or protection from the elements.
Place the sensor where it will be out of reach of children.
The Temperature & Humidity Sensor can be installed or mounted in at least one
of four ways:
or placed within an enclosure
2. Hang the sensor from a nail, screw, or hook, using one or all of the three
mounting holes on the rear of the sensor (mounting hardware not included).
3. Secure the sensor to a wall or vertical surface using the magnet feature
with the included metal plate, or by placing it on a suitable surface (that
responds to a magnet) without the included plate
4. Secure the sensor to a wall or vertical surface using alternative
fasteners or adhesive methods, such as double-sided mounting tape or Velcro
(not included).
Wall-mounting method
1. The sensor has a standard “keyhole” notch on the rear, at the top. This
allows for hanging the sensor from a nail or screw. Additionally, there are
two more mounting holes at the bottom of the sensor. The use of the second and
third holes will result in a much more secure mounting method. These holes are
hidden behind the removeable access cover. This cover affords protection
against tampering and device removal and their use is highly
for instructions on how to remove the cover from the bottom of the sensor.
Insert the tip of a slotted screwdriver and then gently twist it to pry off
the battery access cover.
2. If desired, mark or otherwise identify the exact position of your sensor
on the wall, including one or all of the mounting points (keyhole at top, two
screw holes at bottom). Use a level tool to ensure your sensor will be level,
if desired.
Install the Sensor
3. Your mounting hardware (nails, screws, hooks, etc.) will vary. If using
wall anchors, install the anchor(s) at this time, per the wall anchor
manufacturer’s instructions and/or per appropriate method for your
application. Insert the topmost nail, screw, or hook, in the wall, leaving a
gap between the nail/screw head and the surface, as shown.
About 1/8th inch or 3 mm
4. Hang the sensor from this topmost screw/nail/hook. If you will not utilize
the second and third mounting points, ensure the sensor is secure, and proceed
to Prepare to use your sensor.
5. If not already performed in a previous step, verify the sensor is level
prior to pre-drilling or inserting holes for the lower mounting points. Insert
one or both screws through the lower mounting holes, tightening them and
securing the sensor to the wall.
6. Replace the access cover by pushing it back into place, after aligning the
tab on each end with the matching slot in the sensor. Proceed to Prepare to
use your sensor.
Magnet-mounting method
1. The sensor has a built-in magnet in the back, to allow for mounting it
directly to a suitable* metal surface, or the included metal mounting plate
can be used for this purpose. After selecting the sensor location, remove the
plastic backing from the metal plate, to expose the mounting tape’s adhesive
side. Place the plate at the desired location, tape side down, and press
grease/grime, or any substance that will impact the tape’s adhesion to the
surface. It is suggested to clean the surface accordingly, such as with
rubbing alcohol, and dry it well, before this step).
2. Check that the sensor is secure, and does not move easily. If the sensor
does not seem to be secure, please mount your sensor per the wall-mounting
method steps.
*Suitable surfaces are metallic surfaces responsive to magnets, that allow for a good bond with the sensor’s built-in magnet. Uneven, irregular, textured, grooved, etcetera, surfaces may not be suitable. Surfaces subject to vibration and movement are not likely to be acceptable. Verify the surface is suitable and the sensor is secure, as physical damage to the sensor is not covered by the warranty.
Other mounting methods
Follow the manufacturer instructions if mounting your sensor by alternative
methods, such as with Velcro or double-sided mounting tape. If using an
adhesive method, is it recommended to
the possibilty of replacing or relocating the sensor later, when choosing
alternative mounting methods.
Prepare to use your sensor
Allow your sensor around an hour to stabilize and display the correct readings
on the LCD display and in the app. If you believe your sensor readings are
