hold 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.
a
Secure the sensor connector in the desired location:
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

150cm(5ft)
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.
b
Secure the sensor in the desired location using the wall
mount bracket or table stand.

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.
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 center of the cross when the rain
gauge is level.
If water remains on 1-4, the gauge is not horizontal.
If necessary, adjust the level using the screw.
NOTE For best results, ensure the base is horizontal to
allow maximum drainage of any collected rain.
TIP Press RESET button on base station to erase all
testing data.
