Firstly, check that the wind-fan and the wind-vane can rotate freely before fixing the unit. For correct and accurate readings it is important to mount the sensor so that the front (marked E) is pointing in East-West direction. The wind sensor should now be 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” to 11/4”).

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 center.

For best results, the rain sensor should be securely mounted onto a horizontal surface about 1 meter 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).
