15. Range

The range for radio signal transmission between the outdoor sensor and the weather station
is up to 50 m under best conditions.

This value is the so-called "free field range".
This perfect alignment (e.g. outdoor sensor and weather station on a smooth, level
meadow without trees, houses, etc.), however, is never present in practice.
Usually, the weather station is put up in the house, and the outdoor sensor is
attached, e.g. at the side of a window.
Due to the different influences on radio transmission, no specific range can be
guaranteed for, unfortunately.
Usually, however, any operation in a family home is possible without any problems.
If the weather station does not receive any data from the outdoor sensor (in spite
of new batteries), reduce the distance between the outdoor sensor and the weather
station by changing the site of set-up.
The range may be considerably reduced by:
• Walls, reinforced concrete ceilings
• Laminated/coated insulating glass panes
• Vehicles
• Trees, shrubbery, earth, rocks
• Proximity to metal & conductive objects (e.g. heater)
• Proximity to the human body
• Broadband interference, e.g. in residential areas (mobile phones, radio headphones, radio
speakers, other radio weather stations, baby monitoring systems, etc.)
• Proximity to electrical motors, transformers, mains adapters, computers
• Proximity to badly shielded or openly operated computers or other electrical devices
• Low outdoor temperatures (batteries and rechargeable batteries are sensitive to tempera-
ture!)
