If the sensor wireless icons

drop from the display as you move them into their

intended locations, the sensors may be too far from the wireless display. Try

moving the wireless display or the sensors closer and wait a few minutes to see if

the wireless icons

display again. If the wireless icons

are still not displayed

after re-positioning the sensors or the wireless display, press and hold the

ARROW key for 2 seconds to re-synchronize the wireless display with the sensors.

WIND SENSOR

The wind sensor must be installed with the front of the sensor (the solar panel)

facing true South, or the reported wind direction will not be accurate. Mount

within the 164 foot wireless range of the thermo-hygro sensor and on the same

side of the house. The roof may or may not be an ideal mounting location.

Secure the main unit to the shaft of the mast holder. Use the right-angle adaptor

if the wind sensor will be mounted on a horizontal mast or surface.

Fasten the wind sensor to a suitable mast using the two U-bolts, washers and nuts

included. Note: Mount the wind sensor onto a mast so the wind can reach the

sensor unobstructed from all directions for an accurate reading. The ideal mast

is between 0.62" and 1.3" in diameter. The wind sensor DOES NOT have

replaceable batteries, it consumes solar power and charges the internal battery

pack automatically.

The rain sensor should be mounted on a level surface in an open area within the

164 foot wireless range of the thermo-hygro sensor and on the same side of the

house. Mount the rain sensor at least 1 foot off the ground level for optimum

wireless transmission. The rain sensor should be accessible to allow for period

cleaning of debris or insects.

The thermo-hygro sensor is "weather resistant", but not "water proof". To ensure

an extended life of your sensor, mount it in a semi-covered place out of the

elements. An ideal location for the thermo-hygro sensor is under the eaves on

the North side of the house to avoid the effects of sunlight. Mount the sensor 18"

down from the eaves to ensure optimum performance. This way the weather
