mounted using the screw or cable tie provided onto a solid wall/ panel mast or mast to allow the wind to travel around the sensor unhindered from all directions (ideal mast size should be from diameter about 5/8” (16 mm) to 11/4” (33 mm)).

Once the wind sensor is fixed onto the mast, connect the cable to the corresponding thermo-hygro sensor socket so that operating power supply can be received and data can be transmitted to the base station.

The rain sensor is now operable. For testing purposes, very slowly pour a small amount of clean water into the rain sensor funnel. The water will act as rainfall and will be received and displayed at the base station after about 2 minutes delay i.e. when the reading interval is reached.

For best results, the rain sensor should be securely mounted onto a horizontal surface about 2-3ft (60-90cm) above the ground and in an open area away from trees or other coverings where rainfall may be reduced causing inaccurate readings.

When securing into place, check that rain excess will not collect and store at the base of the unit but can flow out between the base and the mounting surface (test by pouring clean water).

After mounting the rain sensor, connect the cable to the thermo-hygro sensor at the corresponding socket so power supply can be received and data be transmitted to the base station

*When the signal is successfully received by the Bonus Receiver, the outdoor reception icon will be switched on. (If not successful, the icon will not be shown on the LCD) So the user can easily see whether the last reception was successful (icon on) or not (icon off). On the other hand, the short blinking of the icon shows that a reception - is being done currently.
