Signal reception between the base
station and wireless outdoor sensor
The maximum distance between the base station
and the outdoor sensor may be 60 metres. This
range is, however, only possible with "direct line of
sight".
Protective construction materials such as
reinforced concrete reduce or inhibit signal
reception between the base station and outdoor
sensor.
Devices such as TVs, cordless phones, computers,
and fluorescent tubes can likewise disrupt signal
reception.
Do not place the base station and outdoor sensor
directly on the ground. This limits the range.
At low temperatures in winter, the performance
of the outdoor sensor batteries can markedly
decrease. This reduces the transmission range.
Signal reception between the base
station and time signal transmitter
Maintain a distance from TV sets, computers and
monitors. Base stations of wireless phones should
also not be located in the immediate vicinity of the
base station.
The reception is generally better at night. If
the base station did not have reception during
the day, it may well be that the signal will be
immediately and fully received at night.
