SETTING UP: Wireless transmission at 915 MHz - thermo-hygro sensor to the Weather Center Weather Center Rain Sensor Wind Sensor Cable connection between Cable connection between the wind sensor and the the rain sensor and the thermo-hygro sensor thermo-hygro sensor Note: When putting the Weather Center into operation, it is important to perform in close proximity (e.g. - Page 5 displayed on the Weather Center. If this does not happen after 30 seconds, the batteries will need to be removed from both units. You will have to start again from step 1. You may then check all cables for correct connection and all components for correct function by manually turning the wind-gauge, moving the weather-vane, tilting the rain sensor to hear the impact of the internally moving seesaw, etc (See Positioning below).
- Page 6 After batteries are installed, there will be synchronization between Weather Center and the sensor. At this time, the signal reception icon will be blinking. When the signal is successfully received by the Weather Center, the icon will be switched on. (If it is not successful, the icon will not be shown in LCD) So the user can easily see whether the last reception was successful (icon on) or not (icon off).

Signals from the sensors can be received by the base center at points of mounting La Crosse Technology Sensor Extension Cable When you require additional cable length to mount your sensor, you can use La Crosse Technology extension cable. The extension cable is 32 feet in length and comes with the appropriate connecter attached. - Page 27 Thermo-hygro Sensor Rain Cover Main Unit Wall Bracket An ideal mounting place for the thermo-hygro sensor would be the outer wall beneath the extension of a roof, as this will protect the sensor from direct sunlight and other extreme weather conditions. To wall mount, use the 2 screws to affix the wall bracket to the desired wall, plug in the thermo-hygro sensor to the bracket and secure both parts by the use of the supplied screw and ensure that the cables from the wind and rain sensors are...

Rain Sensor For best results, the rain sensor should be securely mounted onto a horizontal surface about 1 meter 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). - Page 29 Wind speed : 0 to 111.8 mph (0 to 50 m/s) (displayed "OF.L" when > 50m/s) Wind chill : -40°F to +139.8°F (-40ºC to +59.9ºC) (displayed "OF.L" if outside this) Relative pressure pre-set range : 27.14 to 31.90 inHg (919 to 1080 hPa) Rainfall : 0"...
