Figure 4 2.4 Sensor Operation Verification Verify the indoor and outdoor temperature match closely with the console and the remote thermometer in the same location (about 5’ apart). The sensors should be within 4°F (the accuracy is ± 2°F). Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize. 3. Remote Sensor Installation It is recommended you mount the remote sensor on a north facing wall, in a shaded area. Direct sunlight and radiant heat sources will result in inaccurate temperature readings.
