Installing your weather station

Setting up the Remote Weather Sensors
Before starting up the main console unit, setup all the remote sensors first.
When placing the sensors, make sure that they are within receiving range of the console unit. Ideally
they should be within the line of sight of the console unit. Transmission range may be affected by
trees, metal structures and electronic appliances. Test reception before permanently mounting your
weather station.
Also make sure that the sensors are easily accessible for cleaning and maintenance.
The remote sensors should be cleaned on a weekly basis, since dirt and debris will affect sensor
accuracy.
Placement tips:
- The sensor should be mounted in an area free of shadows or reflections of sunlight by nearby
coverings and objects.
Setting up the Thermo-Hygro Sensor(s)
1. Open the latch at the base of the thermo-hygro sensor.
2. Set the channel with a slide switch.
3. Insert two 2 x UM-3 or " AA" size 1.5V batteries.
4. Use a pin to press the "RESET" key which is in the battery compartment of thermo-hygro
Sensors after LED flash.
5. Replace the latch and mount unit at desired location.
Placement tips:
- The thermo-hygro sensor should be in an area with free air circulation and sheltered from direct
sunlight and other extreme weather conditions. Place the unit in a shaded area, such as under a
roof.
- Use the wall mount and fittings provided if mounting the unit on a vertical surface.
- Avoid placing the sensor near sources of heat such as chimneys.
- Avoid any areas which collect and radiate heat in the sun, such as metal, brick or concrete
structures, paving, patios and decks.
- Ideally, place the sensor above natural surfaces such as a grassy lawn.
- The international standard height for measurements of air temperature is at 1.25m (4 ft) above
ground level.
Setting up the Anemometer (wind sensor)
1. Assemble the wind cups and wind vane to the anemometer arm
2. Attach the assembled anemometer to the base.
3. Insert two 2 x UM-3 or "AA" size 1.5V batteries into the battery holder in the base.
4. Mount the anemometer onto a vertical surface, using the fittings provided.
5. To allow the main console unit to find the direction which the wind vane is oriented, the
following procedures are required:
i. Insert the batteries
ii. Point the wind vane towards the north. Use a compass or map if necessary.
iii. Use a pin to press the "SET" key which is in the battery compartment of the wind sensor.
Note: Above procedure must be repeated for changing battery.
The "SET" will toggle the direction between two mode:
1. Let the wind direction as manufacturer design. It will be as a default setting after
2. Set the current direction as NORTH.
