QUICK SETUP

Page | 4Wi-Fi Professional Station
THERMO-HYGRO
Keep out of direct sunlight & ensure the sensor is well-ventilated.
• We recommend mounting it on a north-facing wall under an eave or deck for best results.
WIND SPEED
Ensure the sensor is mounted vertically  an unobstructed rooftop is ideal.
• Your wind sensor should be the tallest object in the area to avoid educed wind speed values.
RAIN
Mount in an open area, preferably o the ground on a level platform.
• Clean out the bucket regularly to avoid debris; this can aect readings.
For detailed sensor setup and mounting instructions, see page 25.
