Base Station
With two foldable legs at the back of the unit, the base station can be
placed onto any flat surface or wall mounted at the desired location by
the hanging holes also at the back of the unit. It is important to check
that the 433MHz (if using wireless connection) and the DCF77 radio
controlled time signal can be received before permanently mounting any
of the units. Should the base station not display the 433MHz weather
data from the sensors or the radio controlled time from the desired loca-
tion, then relocate the units. Once the signals are received, the system
can be affixed. Also if you have selected to use cable connection, en-
sure that distances can reach all desired locations before affixing any
unit permanently
Mounting the Wind Sensor onto a mast
Wind-vane
Mast
Wind-fan
Firstly, check that the wind-fan and the wind-vane can rotate freely
before fixing the unit. For correct and accurate readings it is important
to mount the sensor so that the front (marked E) is pointing in East-
West direction. The wind sensor should now be mounted using the
screw provided onto a mast to allow the wind to travel around the sen-
sor unhindered from all directions (ideal mast size should be from
Ø16mm – Ø33mm).
Once the wind sensor is fixed onto the mast, connect the cable to the
corresponding thermo-hygro sensor socket so that operating power
supply can be received and data can be transmitted to the base station.
