for both sensors to stabilize.

4. Weather Station Installation

4.1 Pre Installation Checkout

Before installing your weather station in the permanent location, we recommend operating the weather station for one week in a temporary location with easy access. This will allow you to check out all of the functions, insure proper operation, and familiarize you with the weather station and calibration procedures. This will also allow you to test the wireless range of the weather station.

4.2 Site Survey

Perform a site survey before installing the weather station. Consider the following:

1.You must clean the rain gauge once per year and change the batteries every two years. Provide easy access to the weather station.

2.Avoid radiant heat transfer from buildings and structures. In general, install the sensor array at least 5’ from any building, structure, ground, or roof top.

3.Avoid wind and rain obstructions. The rule of thumb is to install the sensor array at least four times the distance of the height of the tallest obstruction. For example, if the building is 20’ tall, install 4 x 20’ = 80’ away. Use common sense. If the weather station is installed next to a tall building, the wind and rain will not be accurate.

4.Wireless Range. The radio communication between receiver and transmitter in an open field can reach a distance of up to 330 feet, providing there are no interfering obstacles such as buildings, trees, vehicles, high voltage lines. Wireless signals will not penetrate metal buildings.

5.Radio interference such as PCs, radios or TV sets can, in the worst case, entirely cut off radio communication. Please take this into consideration when choosing console or mounting locations.

4.3 Final Installation of Sensor Array

Mount the weather station in the permanent location. To calibrate the wind direction, align the wind direction pointer with the “N” marking on the side of the wind direction sensor, as described in Section 3.3. Rotate the upper pole until the vane pointer, marking, and true north wind direction are aligned.

5. Console Operation

Note: You can also program the weather station console through the PC software (recommended).

Note: The display console has six keys for basic operation: menu key, up key, down key, enter key, history key, and on/off key.

To enter the Set mode, press the menu key. The Set mode can be exited at any time by either pressing the history key or waiting for the 30-second time-out to take effect. You can skip over any
