SECTION 2 INSTALLATION

The WMR968 operates at 433MHz. No wire installation is required among units.

The WMR968 has an effective range of 109 yards in an open area. Position the units within the range and be sure the transmission path is clear of interference and obstacles.

Note:The anemometer, thermo-hygrometer and rain gauge should be installed outdoors and in locations that best measure the weather elements the instruments are designed for. As for the baro-thermo- hygrometer, it must be installed indoors. If you have any optional thermo or thermo-hygro sensors, they can be installed outdoors or indoors.

THE ANEMOMETER

The anemometer measures wind speed and direction.

To install it,

1.Place the wind cup over the thinnest shaft on the anemometer’s T-bar.

2. Tighten the screw on the base of the wind cup.
