Calibrating the Wind Gauge Sensor & Installing Batteries
After mounting the Wind Gauge Sensor, the wind vane needs to be calibrated due north so that the Sensor can properly measure the wind direction and transmit that reading to the home receiver. Be sure the batteries are removed from the Wind Gauge Sensor before the calibration: Since the Sensor will orient north right after the batteries are installed, the wind vane needs to be pointing north first, otherwise the wind direction data transmitted to the home receiver will be incorrect.
Important: The same Wind Direction calibration procedure (steps 2 to 5) is needed for the first set up and after every battery replacement.
1.Mount the Wind Gauge Sensor in a proper location as previously described. If the batteries are still in the sensor, open the battery compartment cover and remove the batteries.
2.Use the compass on the top of the Sensor to determine due north. Turn the smaller,

Mast
3.Insert 2 AA batteries as indicated by the polarity symbols marked inside the battery compartment. (Important: As described in Step 2, be certain the Wind Direction Pointer on the Wind Gauge Sensor is pointing north before inserting the batteries. Also, lithium batteries are recommended for the Sensor, as they will last longer and thus will not need to be replaced as often as alkaline batteries).
4.The red LED indicator above the battery cover of the Wind Gauge Sensor will flash few seconds after battery installation, indicating Wind Direction calibration is complete.
5.Replace the battery cover and tighten the screws.
6.If the Wind Direction Indicator is not pointing due north when the red LED first flashes, calibration will not be accurate. Remove the Wind Gauge Sensor batteries and repeat steps 2 - 5.
7.Hold the “CHANNEL” button on the monitor to search for remote transmitter. If transmission is successful, readings will appear on the receiver within 10 minutes. If readings do not appear, reorient the units and repeat the above calibration steps.
