4.Insert the plug into the socket of the wind meter

pipe-end that is marked with a sticker.

-Install the fully mounted sensor within the possible transmitter radius (max. 400 ft. free field; take into account the dampening due to building walls, etc.) so that it stands in open space - the rain can thus fall directly into the rain sensor and the wind measurement is not hampered by adjacent buildings or trees - 50 ft. clearence.

A sunny location is possible because the temperature sensor is located in a shaded and ventilated part of the housing.

-Bury the pressed end of the mast deep into the soil so that it stands securely (approx. 15 inch depending on the condition of the soil). If the combi-sensor tilts and falls, it can cause injury to persons and damage to vehicles and other objects. Please note that the manufacturer is not responsible for injury or damage.

-Once the sensor is mounted, begin start up, and point the peak of the wind meter towards the North to align the sensor. Lock, if required, the wind meter in this position on the casing with the help of an adhesive tape.
