Cable connection between the wind sensor and the thermo-hygro sensor

Note:

When putting the Weather Center into operation, it is important to perform in close proximity (e.g. on a table) a complete wiring and set-up of the system. This step is important to test all components for correct function before placing and mounting them at their final destinations (See Positioning below) Spin the wind vane and tip the rain gauge to test.

1.Unwind the cables of the Wind sensor. Connect the Wind sensor to the Thermo-hygro transmitter by plugging the connector head into the socket of the Thermo-hygro sensor.

Sockets for wind sensor

2.First insert the batteries into the Thermo-hygro sensor and Rain sensor “How to install and replace the batteries into the Thermo- hygro sensor“ and “How to install and replace the batteries into the Rain sensor” below).

3.Then insert the batteries into the Weather Center (see “How to install and replace the batteries into the Weather Center” below). Once the batteries are installed, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly and a short signal tone will be heard. It will then display the time as 00:00, the date as 1.1.05, the weather icons, and air pressure value. "- - -" will be shown for outdoor data.
