Where is the ambient air sensor located?
Thermometrics Ambient Air Temperature Sensor measures the temperature outside the passenger compartment and is usually mounted inside or near the front bumper. The sensor provides input to automatic HVAC systems to help control the interior temperature of the automobile.
Where should I place my temperature sensor?
Mount the sensor vertically at least 6 feet off the ground. Provide good airflow around the sensor. Direct sunlight can inflate the temperature reading, so a north-side, shaded location is best. If you have a solar panel on the sensor it will need to be charged.
