Battery installation

Remove four (4) screws from the battery compartment with a small Phillips screwdriver.

Open the battery compartment and install 2 “AA” size alkaline batteries (not included) matching the polarities shown.

Replace the battery compartment door and secure the screws.

Aligning

Point the wind direction vane to the North (use a compass or map if necessary).

Press “SET” opening located inside battery compartment with a paper clip or similar tool. This will “SET” the local wind direction to North. Continued pressing of “SET” alternately toggles wind direction between the factory default preset or user set direction.

Note: Repeat this procedure every time after whenever changing the batteries.

Mounting

Securely mount the anemometer base to an appropriate vertical surface, using the fittings provided.

Placement tips:

The anemometer should be mounted in an open area with unobstructed air flow; away from the nearby trees, buildings or other structures.

Aim for a maximum exposure of the anemometer to the most common wind directions in the area.

The suggested mounting height for the anemometer is 33 feet (10meters) above the ground.

Connect 7.5 V AC/DC adapter provided to the main display unit and plug into to the wall power outlet.

Placement tips

Make sure that the main unit is locating within the operating range of all remote weather sensors.

Ideally the remote weather sensors should be mounted within the line-of-sight of the main unit.

Transmission range may be affected by trees, metal structures and electronic appliances.

Test reception before permanently mounting all the remote weather sensors.

Avoid placing the main unit in the following areas:

Direct sunlight and surfaces emitting and radiating heat, such as heating ducts or air conditioners.

Areas with interference from the wireless devices (such as cordless phones, radio headsets, baby listening devices) and electronic appliances.
