Range - Conrad WS-9720-IT Bedienungsanleitung

15. Transmission range
The transmission range of the radio signals between outdoor sensor and weather station is up
to 30m under optimum conditions. This is often also called "free field range".

However, this ideal arrangement (e.g. weather station and outdoor sensor on
a plain, even meadow without trees, houses etc.) never exists in practice.
Normally, the weather station is installed in the house and the outdoor sensor is mounted
outdoor e.g. next to the window.
The range can sometimes be considerably reduced due to:
• walls, reinforced concrete ceilings
• coated/metallised insulated glass
• vehicles
• trees, bushes, earth, rocks
• proximity to metal & conducting objects (e.g. radiators)
• proximity to human body
• broadband interferences, e.g. in residential areas (DECT telephones, mobiles, radio-
controlled headphones, radio-controlled speakers, other radio-controlled weather sta-
tions, babyphones, etc.)
• proximity to electric motors, transformers, power-supply units, computers
• proximity to badly shielded or openly operated computers or other electric devices

Since local conditions vary from site to site, a definite range cannot be
guaranteed.
However, trouble-free operation is usually possible in a detached house.
If the weather station does not receive any data from the outdoor sensor
(despite new batteries), reduce the distance between outdoor sensor and
weather station, change the installation site.
