The Fan-Aspirated Wireless Temperature/Humidity Station, referred to in this manual as the Aspirated Temp/Hum Station, combines fan aspiration and pas- sive shielding to minimize the effects of solar radiation, increasing the accuracy of temperature measurement. This instruction manual takes you step-by-step through the process of installing and mounting your station.

Check the Junction Board cable connections: SIM Sensor, SIM Power (SIM), Motor, Temp/Hum Sensor, and Solar Panel (SOL). Install the Junction Board Cover as show below. The Junction Board Cover presses easily into place when you are installing it. To remove the cover, press gently in on both sides to release the latches holding it in place.
If you aren’t picking up strong signals where you intend to place your console, better to move the station now than after it has been mounted. Experiment to find the best reception. Page 10 Wireless Temperature/Humidity Station...

Mounting on a Post or Wall Using four 1/4" x 1-1/2" lag screws (not included), attach the mounting bracket to the surface in the desired location. A mounting template is located on page 15. Drill holes using a 3/16" (5 mm) drill bit. Use a carpenter’s level when marking the holes, to ensure that the bracket will be level.
