OUTDOORDATACOLLECTOR/MANUALSETUP
Mounting the outdoor weather data collector onto the stainless steel mast
Foraccurateresults,theoutdoordatacollectormetalpoleshouldbesecurelymountedontoa
horizontalsurfacewhereitisatleast1meterabovetheground,andinanopenareaawayfrom
trees and other coverings where rainfall or wind speed may be reduced and cause
Inaccurate readings.
Note:
1. Pleaseensurethatthewindspeedandwinddirectionarmsarefreetomoveandnot
touching or resting on anything nearby.
2. ThereismarksW,S,E,Nontheshaftofthewindsensor,pleasemakesurethe“N”
 pointstotheNorthdirection.
3. Set-uptheindoorreceiverandoutdoordatacollectorinanOPENaspossiblearea.
This means trying to avoid concrete walls or anything that may cause interference
between the two units as this may shorten the transmission distance.
4. Set-uptheoutdoordatacollectorinaveryopenareaoutside,inthedirectsunlight,
 avoidshadedareasasthiswillcausetheUVtoreadincorrectly.
5. PositionthebubbleinthemiddleofthelevelIndicator,thisisimportanttoensurethe
