    5 Set up Guide 5.1 Pre Installation Checkout To complete assembly you will need a Philips screwdriver (size PH0) and a wrench (size M6; included in package). Note: We suggest you assemble all components of the weather station, including console in one location so you can easily test functionality. After testing, place the outdoor sensor package in the desired location.

  • Page 14 5.3.5.2 Mounting You can attach a pipe to a permanent structure and then attach the sensor package to it (see Figure 7). The U-Bolts will accommodate a pipe diameter of 1-2 inches (pipe not included). Figure 7: Sensor package mounting diagram Make sure the mounting pipe is vertical, or very close to it.
  • Page 15 Note: The orientation to WEST is necessary for two reasons. The most important one is to position the solar panel and light sensor in the most advantageous position for recording solar radiation and charging internal capacitors. Secondly it causes a zero reading for wind direction to correspond to due NORTH, as is customary.

    Doing so is also important to avoid false registration of these readings with weather services. 5.3.6 Reset Button and Transmitter LED In the event the sensor array is not transmitting, reset the sensor array. Using a bent-open paperclip, press and hold the RESET BUTTON (see Figure 8) to affect a reset: the LED turns on while the RESET button is depressed, and you can now let go.

Absolute pressure is the measured atmospheric pressure, and is a function of altitude, and to a lesser extent, changes in weather conditions. Absolute pressure is not corrected to sea-level conditions.

  • Page 27: Relative Pressure Calibration Discussion

    6.4.4 Relative Pressure Calibration Discussion To compare pressure conditions from one location to another, meteorologists correct pressure to sea-level conditions. Because the air pressure decreases as you rise in altitude, the sea-level corrected pressure (the pressure your location would be at if located at sea-level) is generally higher than your measured pressure.

  • Page 36 (2) Humidity is a difficult parameter to measure electronically and drifts over time due to contamination. In addition, location has an adverse affect on humidity readings (installation over dirt vs. lawn for example). Official stations recalibrate or replace humidity sensors on a yearly basis. Due to manufacturing tolerances, the humidity is accurate to ±5%.
  • Page 37 (4) Only use this if you improperly installed the weather station sensor array, and did not point the direction reference to true north. (5) Wind speed is the most sensitive to installation constraints. The rule of thumb for properly installing a wind speed sensor is 4 x the distance of the tallest obstruction.

    For example, if the current wind direction is 288, then you’ll need to set the wind direction offset to be: 288-180=108. If the current wind direction is 12, then you’ll need to set the wind direction offset to be: 12+180=190. (6) The rain collector is calibrated at the factory based on the funnel diameter.
