 Connected to the thermo-hygro sensor by cable
 Can be installed onto a mast or a horizontal panel
Rain Sensor
Remote transmission of the rainfall data to the Weather Center

at 915 MHz
 To be mounted onto a horizontal panel
When putting the Weather Center into operation, it is important to perform in close proximity (e.g.
on a table about 5 ft apart) a complete wiring and set-up of the system. This step is important to
test all components for correct function before placing and mounting them at their final
destinations (See Positioning below). Spin the wind vane and tip the rain gauge to test.
1. Unwind the cables of the Wind sensor. Connect the Wind sensor to the Thermo-hygro
transmitter by plugging the connector head into the socket of the Thermo-hygro sensor.
Cord should "click" into place.
Sockets for wind sensor
2. First insert the batteries into the Thermo-hygro sensor and Rain sensor "How to install
and replace the batteries into the Thermo-hygro sensor" and "How to install and
replace the batteries into the Rain sensor" below).
3. Then insert the batteries into the Weather Center (see "How to install and replace the
batteries into the Weather Center" below). Once the batteries are installed, all segments
of the LCD will light up briefly and a short signal tone will be heard. It will then display the
time as 12:00, the date as 1.1.05, the weather icons, and air pressure value. "- - -" will be
shown for outdoor data.
