  • Page 14 Mounting the Wind Sensor onto a mast Wind-vane Mast Wind-fan 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.
  • Page 15 When securing into place, check that rain excess will not collect and store at the base of the unit but can flow out be- tween the base and the mounting surface (test by pouring clean water). After mounting the rain sensor, connect the cable to the thermo-hygro sensor at the corresponding socket so power supply can be received and data be transmitted to the base station...
  • Page 16: Resetting & Factory Settings

    Resetting & factory settings: As previously mentioned, in the event of a power reset to the sensor (for example a change of batteries), the base station has to synchronize to the sensor again otherwise no weather data will be received. To do this, simply press and hold the PLUS(+) key for 2 seconds and a short beep will sound to synchronize the base station to the sensor.

    example, if the high temperature alarm is set to +25°C and the current value moves to +25°C, the alarm will be activated (if it has been enabled). Now when the temperature drops to +24.9°C or below and thereafter again increases to beyond +25°C, the data will be blinking, but no alarm will be activated.
