Installing the Wireless 5-in-1 Multi-Sensor

After installing batteries into the Wireless Multi-sensor, you must choose a location to install the sensor. To ensure that your professional weather center performs at its best, follow these guidelines to choose a mounting location for the wireless multi-sensor:

INSTALL AWAY FROM HEAT & HUMIDITY SOURCES:

DO NOT Place the wireless multi-sensor near localized heat sources like heaters, air conditioners, chimneys and exhaust vents. Install the wireless multi-sensor away from asphalt or concrete as these surfaces radiate heat from the sun. Also avoid installing the sensor near pools, spas, or other bodies of water as these water sources may affect the accuracy of the humidity.

INSTALL AWAY FROM SPRINKLER HEADS:

DO NOT install the wireless multi-sensor where it will be directly sprayed by a sprinkler system, this will affect the rainfall measurement accuracy and may force water into the housing.

WIND & RAIN OBSTRUCTIONS:

DO NOT mount the sensor with obstructions above it, as this will ensure proper rainfall measurement. Also consider a mounting location that has very little structures around the sensor, to ensure proper wind speed and direction measurements.

INSTALLATION HEIGHT:

DO Mount the wireless multi-sensor at least 5 feet off the ground (higher is better for accurate wind measurements) in an open area NO FURTHER than 300 feet (100 meters) from the display console. A typical installation would involve mounting the bracket to a secured length of 2x4 or 4x4 wood (not included).

LEVEL INSTALLATION:

DO Install the wireless multi-sensor as level as possible to ensure accurate rain and wind measurements. Use the bubble level on the top to ensure a level installation.

SOLAR CELL ORIENTATION:

DO Install the sensor onto the mounting bracket with the solar cell facing SOUTH. This is important to ensure that the cell receives as much sun as possible, and also orients the wind direction properly.

SETUP

NO OBSTRUCTIONS ABOVE

OR AROUND

Install the wireless multi-sensor with the solar cell facing south to properly orient the wind direction vane.

Choose an open location with no obstructions above or around the sensor for

(1.5 meters) accurate rain and wind measurement.

Secure the included sensor mounting bracket to a post or pole (not included) utilizing the included hardware.

TO CLEAR DATA COLLECTED DURING INSTALLATION:

During the process of installation, internal sensors were likely triggered-resulting in erroneous rainfall and wind measurements. When installation is complete, you may want to clear out the erroneous data from the display consoles memory.

To clear out the display consoles memory without having to reset the clock and re-establish communication, press the “CLEAR TODAY” button. This button will clear out any data that was recorded since 12:00 am that day. The “CLEAR TODAY” button is located on the back of the display console within the battery compartment.
