● System installation
Read before installation:
※Firstrate wind direction sensor defaults to the north direction with the outgoing direction of the
aviation plug;
※The horizontal angle of solar panel installation is recommended to be set to 30 degrees in the
area south of the Yangtze River, 45 degrees in the area north of the Yangtze River, and the
direction of the panel is toward the south.

1. Installation location
The meteorological environment monitoring system should be installed in a location where the
sun is unobstructed and the wind direction is unobstructed, and should not be installed on the
surface where it is easy to collapse, settle, or landslide.
2. Ground cage orientation
After the wind direction sensor (if there is no wind direction sensor in the system, which can be
ignored) is determined, the accurate cage position is calculated. The area and weight of the
cement base of the ground cage must be sufficient to support the entire weather station system. It
is recommended that it be no less than 600x600x600mm and the cement surface should be level.
3. Install the pole
Splicing the upper and lower 1.5-meter vertical poles;

4. Install the sensor
4.1 Install wind speed, wind direction, louver boxes and other sensors on different cross bars;
4.2 Fix the cross bar to the top pole of the vertical pole, and lead the sensor cable through the
inside of the vertical pole from the outlet of the base of the vertical pole;

5. Install solar energy subsystem
Please first press the switch to observe whether the power indicator is normal with red and
green lights. All 4 indicators are on, which means full. The second red light starts to flash after each
full space, until all 4 lights are full. The fifth indicator light is on, it means normal output, and if it’s
off, it means no output. Do not turn off the switch during normal use, otherwise charging and
discharging will be turned off.

5.6 After completion, use the hoop to install the solar sub-system at a suitable position on the top
of the pole, as shown in the figure below:
6. Install the electric control cabinet
6.1 Use the accessory hoop to install the electric control cabinet above the upper and lower pole
interfaces, as shown in the figure below:

● Matters needing attention
1. After opening the product packaging, please check whether the appearance of the product is
intact, verify whether the relevant content of the product manual is consistent with the product, and
properly keep the product manual for more than one year;
2. Strictly follow the wiring diagram of the product, and work under the allowable voltage of the
product, and do not use it over voltage;
3. Do not knock the product to avoid damage to the appearance and internal structure of the
ring;
4. The product has no customer repair parts, please contact our company in case of failure;
5. The company’s product fails under normal use, and the warranty period is one year (from the
date of delivery from the company to the date of return). Whether it is a failure under normal
conditions, the quality inspector of our company will check As the basis. For maintenance beyond
the time limit, the company will charge a basic fee, and all products of the company will be
maintained for life;
6. The instrument should be powered off to stop working during the period of being out of
service or in stock, which has prolonged the service life of the battery. The user should use the
same type of battery to replace the battery, and replace it under the condition of general good
condition and no gas leakage.
7. For the unexplained, please check our company website or call for inquiries.
