solar cell
Accurate alignment of the sensor, pointing the solar cell due south, is an essen-
tial factor because it represents the reference point for measuring the wind direc-
tion.
It must be assembled absolutely vertically in the retaining tube in order to re-
ceive accurate measurements.
Screw the retaining tube and sensor tight, ensuring a firm fit of all the compo-
nents.
In its basic setting, the wind sensor is in an exact North - South direction (solar
cell facing south) to ensure an accurate north reference point for the evaluation
electronics.

Rainfall measuring system

The rainfall measuring system is
also solar powered and is pro-
vided with a fixed address which
cannot be manipulated by the
user.
The solar cell must be accurately
aligned to face south.
The rainfall measuring system
must be positioned on an abso-
lutely horizontal surface and
fixed by means of screws insert-
ed in the holes in the base of the
housing. Remove the upper sec-
tion beforehand by pressing it
and turning clockwise. There is
a recess in the lower section
which, when filled with water,
provides a perfectly horizontal
alignment without any other re-
sources required.
