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 UP 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 200‐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, at a minimum height of 6 feet, 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.

Note: Do not open the wind sensor. This will void the warranty.

RAIN SENSOR

The rain sensor should be mounted on a level surface in an open area within the 200‐foot wireless range of the thermo‐hygro sensor and on the same side of the house. Mount the rain sensor at least 6 feet off the ground and level for optimum wireless transmission. The rain sensor should be accessible to allow for periodic cleaning of debris or insects.

THERMO‐ HYGRO SENSOR

The thermo‐hygro sensor is "weather resistant", but not "water proof". To ensure an extended life for the sensor, mount it in a semi‐covered place out of the elements at a minimum height of 6 feet. 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 will assure the temperature of the air coming out of the attic will not affect data collected by the sensor.

To wall mount the thermo‐hygro sensor, fix the wall holder onto the desired wall using the included screws, plug the sensor firmly into the wall holder and replace the rain cover if it is not already in place. NOTE: After mounting the units, if the weather data is not received, press and hold the UP ARROW key for 2 seconds to synchronize the wireless display to the sensors.
