Install the Controller Module on a nearby rafter close to the underside of the roof with the provided mounting screws. (fig 2a & 2b) The Controller Module has vents on either side of the housing that allow the temperature and humidity sensors to work, so it is important to locate the Controller Box with at least 1 inch of space between it and the underside of the roof.
