EN OR b. Insert 4 type A scraews into the b holes of the sensor connector. Screw firmly into place, i.e. fence. Align the wind vane flat against the small end of the sensor connector, and then slide it until it clicks into place to lock the cover. IMPORTANT Ensure that the wind sensor is pointing north to enable it to record accurate readings. Temperature & humidity Sensor LW301/302 TIP Ideal placements for the sensor would be in any location on the exterior of the home at a height of not more than 1.5 m (5 ft) and which can shield it from direct sunlight or wet 150cm(5ft) conditions for an accurate reading. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the wall mount bracket or table stand. Rain gauge LW301 The rain gauge should be mounted horizontally about 1 meter (3 feet) from the ground in an open area away from trees or other obstructions to allow rain to fall naturally for an accurate reading. To ensure a level plane: Put a few drops of water on the cross at the base of the funnel to check the horizontal level. Water will pool to the centre of the cross when the rain gauge is level. 1 3 2 4 If water remains on 1-4, the gauge is 1 not horizontal. 3 2 If necessary, adjust the level using 4 the screw. NOTE For best results, ensure the base is horizontal to allow maximum drainage of any collected rain. TIP Erase all testing data from application before formal use.
