  8. Mount your sensors in appropriate locations.



  1. This product contains a Button Cell Battery.
  2. If swallowed, it could cause severe injury or death in just 2 hours.
  3. Seek medical attention immediately.


KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN

  1. Swallowing may lead to serious injury in as little as 2 hours or death, due to chemical burns and potential perforation of the oesophagus.
  2. If you suspect your child has swallowed or inserted a button battery, immediately seek urgent medical assistance.
  3. Examine devices and make sure the battery compartment is correctly secured, e.g. that the screw or other mechanical fastener is tightened.
  4. Do not use if compartment is not secure.
  5. Dispose of used button batteries immediately and safely. Flat batteries can still be dangerous.
  6. Tell others about the risk associated with button batteries and how to keep their children safe.

QUICK MOUNTING TIPS

WIND SPEED
Ensure the sensor is mounted vertically – an unobstructed rooftop is ideal.

  • Your wind sensor should be the tallest object in the area to avoid educed wind speed values.

RAIN
Mount in an open area, preferably off the ground on a level platform.

  • Clean out the bucket regularly to avoid debris; this can affect readings.

THERMO-HYGRO
Keep out of direct sunlight & ensure the sensor is well-ventilated.

  • We recommend mounting it on a north-facing wall under an eave or deck for best results.

RIGHT ARROW: Temperature is steady

DOWN ARROW: For this to show, the temperature will have to fall by 2°F (1°C), more within the current hour.

RELATIVE PRESSURE READING

  • Your station itself has a Pressure Sensor inside to provide accurate Relative Pressure readings.
  • The station will default to a Relative Pressure of 29.92 Inches of Mercury.
  • Give it up to 3 days to automatically adjust to your environment.
  • The Relative Pressure number is programmable in the Settings Menu.
  • You can select INHG (Inches or Mercury) or HPA (Hecto Pascal) for Pressure units in the Settings Menu.
  • The UP and DOWN Arrows indicate the Pressure Tendency (rising or falling). This is calculated when the average value of the current hour's barometric pressure is compared to the average of the past 3 hours. If the difference is greater than +1hpa, the air pressure trend will increase; if the difference is less than -1hpa, the air pressure trend will decrease; if it is between +1 and -1hpa, it will be flat.

Note: If you choose to add Extra Sensors, simply press and release the EXTRA SENSOR button to switch between the sensor reading and Relative Pressure reading.
