15. Detection range
The range for transmitting the radio signals between the external sensor and weather
station amounts up to 100 m in ideal conditions.
However, this range information concerns the so called "free field range".
However, this ideal arrangement is never met in practice (e.g. weather station
and external sensor without trees, houses etc.).
Normally the weather station is installed inside. The external sensor is
installed onto a suitable mast in the outdoor area.
Due to various influences which may effect transmission, no specific range can
be guaranteed.
However, normally operation is possible in a single family home without problems.
Reduce the distance between the weather station and external sensor if the
weather station does not receive any data from the external sensor.
The range can sometimes be significantly reduced by:
• Walls, reinforced concrete ceilings
• Coated/vaporized insulating glass panes.
• Vehicles
• Trees, bushes, earth, fields
• Close proximity to metallic and conducting objects (e.g. heating appliances)
• Close proximity to human bodies
• Broadband interference e.g. in residential areas (DECT telephones, mobile phones,
wireless headphones, wireless loudspeakers, other radio weather stations, baby
monitoring systems etc.)
• Proximity to electric motors, transformers, power supplies
• Proximity to sockets, power cables
• Close proximity to poorly shielded or open computers or other electrical devices.
