EN WIND SENSOR Press SELECT until the selected area icon is in the top right display area. • Wind speed: Gently rotate the wind vane and confirm a numerical reading on the base station, e.g., . • Wind direction indicator. Move the direction of the wind indication and verify the icon moves in the same direction . TEMPERATURE / HUMIDITY SENSOR a. Align the back of the sensor connector to an existing pole. Secure in place by inserting the ends of the U-bolt into the holes on the sensor connector and securing it with washers and bolts. OR b. Insert 4 type A screws into the holes of the sensor connector. Screw firmly into place, i.e., fence. Slide wind vane onto the smaller end of the sensor connector. IMPORTANT Ensure that the wind sensor is pointing North to enable it to record accurate readings. TEMPERATURE / HUMIDITY SENSOR 1. Press SELECT until the selected area icon is in the bottom left display area. 2. Press UP / DOWN to select channel 1 and verify a numerical reading. 1.5 m (5 ft) RAIN GAUGE 1. Press SELECT until the selected area icon is in the middle right display area. 2. Press MODE until is displayed. 3. Tilt the tipping funnel on the rain gauge several times and verify a numerical reading on the base station. 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 conditions for an accurate reading. TIP If no reading is displayed for a sensor, press the SEARCH button on the base station to initiate a wireless sensor search. MOUNTING / PLACING OF SENSORS WIND SENSOR NOTE The sensor should be positioned in an open area away from trees or other obstructions. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the wall mount bracket or table stand. a b Secure the sensor connector in the desired location: RAIN GAUGE The base station and rain gauge should be positioned within an effective range: about 100 meters (328 feet) in an open area. 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. 5
