4. Installing your weather station
Setting up the Remote Weather Sensors Before starting up the main console unit, setup all the remote sensors first. When placing the sensors, make sure that they are within receiving range of the console unit. Ideally they should be within the line of sight of the console unit. Transmission range may be affected by trees, metal structures and electronic appliances. Test reception before permanently mounting your weather station. Also make sure that the sensors are easily accessible for cleaning and maintenance. The remote sensors should be cleaned on a weekly basis, since dirt and debris will affect sensor accuracy. Setting up the Thermo-Hygro Sensor(s) 1. Open the latch at the base of the thermo-hygro sensor. 2. Set the channel with a slide switch. 3. Insert two 2 x UM-3 or AA size 1.5V batteries. 4. Use a pin to press the RESET key which is in the battery compartment of thermo-hy gro sensors. 5. Replace the latch and mount unit at desired location. Placement tips: -The thermo-hygro sensor should be in an area with free air circulation and sheltered from direct sunlight and other extreme weather conditions. Place the unit in a shaded area, such as under a roof. -Use the wall mount and fittings provided if mounting the unit on a vertical surface. -Avoid placing the sensor near sources of heat such as chimneys. -Avoid any areas which collect and radiate heat in the sun, such as metal, brick or con crete structures, paving, patios and decks. -Ideally, place the sensor above natural surfaces such as a grassy lawn. -The international standard height for measurements of air temperature is at 1.25m (4 ft) above ground level. Setting up the Rain Sensor 1. Unlock the funnel-shaped top of the rain sensor by turning both knobs on the sides of the rain sensor in an anti-clockwise direction. 2. Lift the top off the base and insert two 2 x UM-3 or AA size 1.5V batteries into the battery holder. 3. Replace the lid and secure into place by turning the knobs clockwise. 4. Place the rain sensor in a location such that precipitation can fall directly into the sensor, ideally 2-3 ft above the ground. It may be secured into place by using the four screws provided. 5. The sensor must be accurately level for optimum performance. To check if the sensor is level,remove the lid and check if the ball bearing inside is at the midpoint of the leveler. Additionally, a bubble level or carpenters level may be used. 6. Attach the protective screen onto the top of the lid. The screen will prevent any debris entering the sensor. 7

Placement tips: - The rain sensor should be placed in an open area away from walls,fences, trees and other coverings which may either reduce the amount of rainfall into the sensor,deflect the entry of wind-blown rain, or create extra precipitation runoff. Trees and rooftops may also be sources of pollen and debris. - To avoid rain shadow effects, place the sensor at a horizontal distance corresponding to two to four times the height of any nearby obstruction. - It is important that rain excess can flow freely away from the sensor. Make sure that water does not collect at the base of the unit. - The rainfall measurement mechanism utilizes a magnet, hence do not place any magnetic objects around the proximity of the sensor. Setting up the Anemometer (wind sensor) 1. Assemble the wind cups and wind vane to the anemometer arm (note: the small hex screw is preinstalled and can be operated by the small hex key included in the accessories) 2. Attach the assembled anemometer to the base. 3. Insert two 2 x UM-3 or AA size 1.5V batteries into the battery holder in the base. 4. Mount the anemometer onto a vertical surface, using the fittings provided. 5. To allow the main console unit to find the direction which the wind vane is oriented, the following procedures are required: i. Insert the batteries ii. Point the wind vane towards the north. Use a compass or map if necessary. iii.Use a pin to press the SET key which is in the battery compartment of the wind sensor. Note: Above procedure must be repeated for changing battery. The SET will toggle the direction between two modes: 1.Let the wind direction as manufacturer design. It will be as a default setting after 2.Set the current direction as NORTH. Placement tips: -Check that wind can travel freely around the anemometer and is not distorted by nearby buildings, trees or other structures. -For better results, place the anemometer at least 3m above local structures and obstacles. The ground creates a frictional effect to wind flow and will attenuate readings. -Aim for maximum exposure of the anemometer to the commonest wind directions in your area. -The official mounting location for anemometers is 10m (33 ft) above ground level in a clear unobstructed location.

Setting up the Main Console Unit 1. Open the latch at the back of the main console unit. 2. Insert 4 x UM-3 or AA size 1.5V batteries according to the polarities shown. 3. Reattach the latch. 4. You are highly recommended to connect the AC/DC adaptor. For the feathure of the automatic backlight control function, the AC/DC adaptor must be used. 5. If placing the console unit on a table or horizontal surface, fold out the table stand and adjust to the optimal viewing angle. 6. If mounting the console unit on a wall or vertical surface, fold the table stand back into the unit and use the fitting provided. Placement tips: Make sure that the console unit is within receiving range of all remote sensors. Ideally sensors should be within the line of sight of the console unit. Transmission range may be affected by trees, metal structures and electronic appliances. Test reception before permanently mounting your weather station. The console unit measures indoor temperature, humidity, pressure and receives signals from all remote sensors and radio-clock broadcasts. Avoid placing the console unit in the following areas: -Direct sunlight and surfaces which radiate and emit heat. -Near heating and ventilation devices, such as heating ducts or air conditioners. -Areas with interference from wireless devices (such as cordless phones, radio headsets, baby listening devices) and electronic appliances. Starting up the Main Console Unit Once the console unit is properly powered, the display will start showing some data and weather parameters. Wait for a few minutes for the console to finish self-calibration and for the sensor readings to show up. If --- is still displayed for the sensor reading(s), check the wireless transmission path and the batteries for the corresponding sensor.
