POWER THE BASE STATION

1. Insert the 3 AA batteries (included) to the battery compartment of the base station
for back-up usage, matching the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside.
2. Connect the supplied power adapter to the Micro USB power jack, and then plug
into a standard AC outlet.

each battery replacement.

MOUNTING THE ALL-IN-ONE SENSOR

The sensor is capable of transmitting data to the base station wirelessly within an
approximate operating range of 300 m (1000 feet). Ideal locations for the sensor would
be in any location on the roof of a building that is in an open area away from trees or
other obstructions preventing from the wind flow for an accurate reading. Additionally,
locate the sensor in direct sunlight for optimal power supply to the solar panel.

Secure the all-in-one sensor connector in the desired location:
1. Align the back of the sensor connector to an existing pole.
2. 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.
3. Securely locate the pole in your desired outdoor area.
NOTE
• Make sure the water bubble in the level indicator on the top surface stays within
the circle. Check the balance status regularly for an accurate rainfall rate reading.
• Ensure the wind sensor is pointing North to enable it record accurate readings.
Press and hold SET NORTH
calibrate the direction. You can use a compass to look for an accurate direction of
north if necessary.
• Press RESET button on the main unit to erase all testing data.
