3. INSTALLATION OF THE WS5400
PRE CHECK
Before permanently install your weather station, we recommend the user to operate the weather station at a location which
is easy to access to. This will allow you to get familiar with the weather station functions and calibration procedures, to
ensure proper operation before installing it permanently.
SITE SELECTION
Before installing the sensor array, please consider the followings:
1. Rain-gauge must be cleaned every 3 months.
2. Batteries must be changed about every year. We reccomend using Lithium batteries for best performance.
3. Avoid radiant heat reflected from any adjacent buildings and structures. Ideally, the sensor array should be installed at
1.5m (5’) from any building, structure, ground or roof top.
4. Choose an area of open space in direct sunlight without any obstruction of rain, wind, and sunlight.
5. Transmission range between sensor array and display console could reach a distance of 100m at line of sight, providing
there are no interfering obstacles in between or nearby. Check the reception signal quality to ensure good reception.
BATTERY INSTALLATION OUTDOOR UNIT
Unscrew the battery door at bottom of unit and insert the batteries
according to the +/- polarity indicated. Screw the battery door
compartment on tightly after placing the batteries.
Note:
The red LED (10) will begin flashing every 12 seconds.
Whenever you changed the batteries of the wireless sensor, re-
synchronization must be done manually.
