•
Signals from the sensors can be received by the base station at
points of mounting
•
Radio controlled time signal can be received at the point of
mounting
NOTE: The WWVB receiver is located in the base station.
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 WWVB 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 location, then relocate the units. Once the signals are
received, the system can be affixed. Also if you have selected to use
cable connection, ensure that distances can reach all desired
locations before affixing any unit permanently
NOTE: For reception of WWVB time/date signal, do not mount
the base station closer than 5 feet from a computer, florescent
lights or other electrical appliances. Do not mount the base
station on a wall that has metal heat/AC ductwork in the wall
behind the base station. For best WWVB reception place the
base station near a window facing Colorado. WWVB reception
will be obtained easiest in the nighttime hours when the
WWVB signal is strongest.
Mounting the Wind Sensor onto a mast

Wind-fan
Firstly, check that the wind-fan and the wind-vane can rotate freely
before fixing the unit.
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 sensor unhindered from all directions (ideal mast size
should be from Ø.63" – Ø1.3").
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.
Mounting the Rain Sensor

For accurate results, the rain sensor should be securely mounted
onto a horizontal surface about 2-3ft above the ground and in an open

area away from trees or other coverings where rainfall may be
reduced causing inaccurate readings.
When securing into place, check that rain excess will not collect and
store at the base of the unit but can flow out between the base and
the mounting surface (test by pouring clean water).
For correct and accurate readings it is
