4. Weather Station Installation
4.1 Pre Installation Checkout
Before installing your weather station in the permanent location, we recommend operating the weather
station for one week in a temporary location with easy access. This will allow you to check out all of
the functions, insure proper operation, and familiarize you with the weather station and calibration
procedures. This will also allow you to test the wireless range of the weather station.
4.2 Site Survey
Perform a site survey before installing the weather station. Consider the following:
1. You must clean the rain gauge once per year and change the batteries every two years.
Provide easy access to the weather station.
2. Avoid radiant heat transfer from buildings and structures. In general, install the sensor array at
least 5' from any building, structure, ground, or roof top.
3. Avoid wind and rain obstructions. The rule of thumb is to install the sensor array at least four
times the distance of the height of the tallest obstruction. For example, if the building is 20'
tall, install 4 x 20' = 80' away. Use common sense. If the weather station is installed next to a
tall building, the wind and rain will not be accurate.
4. Wireless Range. The radio communication between receiver and transmitter in an open field
can reach a distance of up to 330 feet, providing there are no interfering obstacles such as
buildings, trees, vehicles, high voltage lines.
buildings.
5. Radio interference such as PCs, radios or TV sets can, in the worst case, entirely cut off radio
communication. Please take this into consideration when choosing console or mounting
locations.

4.3 Final Installation of Sensor Array
Mount the weather station in the permanent location. To calibrate the wind direction, align the wind
direction pointer with the ―N‖ marking on the side of the wind direction sensor, as described in
Section 3.3. Rotate the upper pole until the vane pointer, marking, and true north wind direction are
aligned.
5. Console Operation
Note: You can also program the weather station console through the PC software (recommended).
Note: The display console has six keys for basic operation:
