IMPORTANT Ensure that the wind sensor is pointing North to enable it to record accurate readings.

TEMPERATURE / HUMIDITY SENSOR

150cm(5ft)

TIP Ideal placements for the sensor would be in any location on the exterior of the home at a height of not more than 1.5 m (5 ft) and which can shield it from direct sunlight or wet conditions for an accurate reading.

Water will pool to the center of the cross when the rain gauge is level.

If water remains on 1-4, the gauge is not horizontal. If necessary, adjust the level using the screw.

NOTE For best results, ensure the base is horizontal to allow maximum drainage of any collected rain.

TIP Press RESET button on base station to erase all testing data.

CLOCK RECEPTION

This product is designed to synchronize its calendar clock automatically once it is brought within range of a radio signal:

WMR86:

EU: DCF-77 signal: within 1500 km (932 miles) of Frankfurt, Germany.

UK: MSF-60 signal: within 1500 km (932 miles) of Anthorn, England.

WMR86A:

WWVB-60 signal: within 3200km (2000 miles) of Fort Collins Colorado.

Secure the sensor in the desired location using the wall mount bracket or table stand.

RAIN GAUGE

The base station and rain gauge should be positioned within an effective range: about 100 meters (328 feet) in an open area.

The rain gauge should be mounted horizontally about 1 meter (3 feet) from the ground in an open area away from trees or other obstructions to allow rain to fall naturally for an accurate reading.

To ensure a level plane:

Put a few drops of water on the cross at the base of the funnel to check the horizontal level.

WMR86 only - slide the EU / UK switch to the appropriate setting based on your location. Press RESET whenever you change the selected setting.

The reception icon will blink when it is searching for a signal. If the radio signal is weak it can take up to 24 hours to get a valid signal reception.
