Firstly, check that the wind-fan and the wind-vane can rotate freely before fixing the
unit. For correct and accurate readings it is important to mount the sensor so that the
front (marked E) is pointing in East-West direction. The wind sensor should now be
mounted using the screw or cable tie provided onto a solid wall/ panel mast or mast to
allow the wind to travel around the sensor unhindered from all directions (ideal mast
size should be from diameter about 16mm to 33mm).
Once the wind sensor is fixed onto the mast, connect the cable to the corresponding
thermo-hygro transmitter socket so that operating power supply can be received and
data can be transmitted to the weather centre.
Rain Sensor
For best results, the rain sensor should be securely mounted onto a horizontal surface
about 1 metre 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).
