ensures optimum reception in the initialization phase. If the signal from the sensor is unable to be received within this time, then the reception is affected and should be improved by
The external temperature and humidity sensors should be addressed according to section 2.3.4.

The second group of sensors is the
2.3.1WS-2510-15 wind sensor
The wind sensor measures both the wind direction and the wind speed at the mounting location. It is powered by a solar cell, and a
It is mounted either on a mast or high up on a wall. It is important at the sensor location that the solar cell in the sensor housing faces directly south and is unshielded on all sides, i.e. the wind can reach the sensor unimpeded from all sides.
The exact alignment of the sensor to the south is very important as this alignment acts as reference for the wind directional measuring device.
In order to obtain precise measurements ensure that the sensor is mounted vertically in the mounting tube.
Finally screw the mounting tube and the sensor together to ensure a firm base for all the components.
In its basic form the wind sensor should be aligned in the
2.3.2WS-2510-16 rain sensor
The rain sensor is also powered by solar energy and has an address that cannot be changed by the user.
In this case the alignment of the solar cell is directly towards the south.
The rain sensor should be secured to an exactly horizontal surface using the securing holes at the base of the housing. First remove the upper part by pressing against the lower part and turning clockwise. In the lower part is a depression that, when filled with water, permits a precise horizontal alignment without additional assistance.
Pour a small amount of water into this depression and align the lower section of the housing using the spirit level principle. After marking the exact installation location the water can be removed. Note the south alignment for the solar cell. The shank of the
To obtain the best possible wireless emissions (high range) it is advisable not to place the rain sensor directly on the ground. By mounting the sensor about 3 feet (1
m)above the ground the danger of soiling (especially the solar cells) is reduced. After screwing on the lower part to the base secure the upper part as follows: There is a bar magnet centrally located on the side on the counting rocker for the water level in the base. The bar magnet initiates the counting pulses to the
