Selecting and Testing a Location for the Remote Wind Gauge Sensor Cont.
4.Replace the battery compartment cover, and replace and tighten the screws.
5.To test for a transmission connection, press and hold the “CHANNEL” button on the receiver for 3 seconds. The display will begin to flash as the receiver searches for the remote sensor signal.
6.When a transmission connection is established, the receiver's LCD screen will display the wind direction, wind speed, temperature and humidity readings broadcast by the remote Wind Gauge unit.
7.If these readings do not appear on the receiver within 10 minutes, the transmission has failed. Check that there are no physical obstructions between the units that might block transmissions, such as sheds or trees. If necessary, shorten the distance between the receiver and remote units. Remove all the batteries from the remote, wait at least 10 seconds, and then install the batteries again. Repeat steps
8.IMPORTANT: Remove the batteries from the Wind Gauge Sensor before proceeding with mounting and calibration steps. The batteries will be reinstalled later, after the Wind Gauge's direction is calibrated North (see section on Calibrating the Wind Gauge Sensor & Installing Batteries).
Mounting the Wind Gauge Sensor
IMPORTANT: Before mounting, be sure the receiver unit and the wind gauge sensor are successfully transmitting readings to avoid having to move and remount the wind gauge sensor again. See the previous section on “Selecting and Testing a Location for the Sensor” on how to test for transmission signals.
Choosing a Location for the Wind Gauge Sensor
The Wind Gauge Sensor may be placed in a variety of places around the home or yard, as long as the sensor is able to transmit readings to the home receiver unit. Please keep in mind that objects such as trees and buildings may block wind gusts. Wind and temperature accuracy may vary between locations. Try to locate the Wind Gauge Sensor in an open area where the wind will be the least blocked. Possible locations for the Wind Gauge Sensor are:
1.On the roof of a house (best wind accuracy is most likely here, as there will be fewer obstacles at a high point).
2.On a fence post or garden shed (the more open the area, the better the wind accuracy).
3.A soft ground location in a yard (again, the more open the area, the better the wind accuracy, as a house or trees may block the wind from reaching the sensor).
