Positioning the Wireless display
The Weather station provides the option of table standing or wall
mounting the unit, vertically or horizontally. Before wall mounting, please
check that the outdoor data can be received from the desired locations.
TO WALL MOUNT:
Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall,
leaving the head extended out by about 0.2”
(5mm).
Place the weather station onto the screw, using the
hanging hole on the backside. Gently pull the
weather station down to lock the screw into place.
TABLE STAND:
Insert the stand to the back of the wireless display.
Place wireless display on desk or table in range of
the sensors.
POSITIONING THE WIND/THERMOHYGRO TRANSMITTER:
Important: Before mounting, be sure the monitor & anemometer are
within the effective transmission range (246 ft open air).
Note: To mount the anemometer, you need a mast (not supplied)
about 1 –1.25 inches (2.54 –3.1 cm) in diameter, and the hardware
necessary to fasten it to the mounting location.
xMount and ground the mast as directed in the instructions
provided by the mast.
16
xPlace the supplied U-shape metal plates around the mast.
Insert 4 pieces of the supplied Hex screws through the holes
of the U-shape plates and the holes on the anemometer’s
mounting bracket.
xBe sure the wind vane is above the wind cup and the metal
bar of the anemometer is in horizontal level)
xTighten the supplied Hex nut onto both ends of each screw
Calibrate the wind direction:
xHold the directional vane so it points north until batteries
installed.
xInstall batteries and wait for the red LED light to flash twice.
xRelease the directional vane.

Positioning the Rain Gauge:
Before mounting the rain gauge, be sure the rain gauge & monitor
are within effective transmission range and batteries are installed.
xThe rain sensor should be mounted on a level surface in an
open area within the 131-foot wireless range (open air) of the
wireless display. Reduce distance by half for every obstruction
between the rain gauge and the wireless display.
xHold the base of the rain gauge flat against the mounting
surface then use a level to make sure the rain gauge (as it
rests on the mounting surface) is horizontally level.
xUse a pencil to trace the inside of the mounting holes on the
base of the rain gauge to mark the screw locations.
xDrill a hole in the center of each marked location and insert the
supplied plastic screw plugs
xHold the rain gauge against the mounting surface so the holes
on the base are aligned with the plugs, then thread the
supplied washer head screws into each hole and use a
screwdriver to gently tighten them. Avoid over tightening as
this may cause low rain readings.
xMount in an area not blocked on the top or sides, so rain can
freely reach the rain gauge (for example, not under an
overhang or too close to a building or fence).
xTo prevent false rainfall readings caused by water splashes,
do not choose a location that is not level or that is too close to
the ground, a swimming pool, lawn sprinklers, or anywhere
water might accumulate or run off.
xMount the rain sensor at least 6 feet off the ground and level
for optimum wireless transmission.
18
xThe rain sensor should be accessible to allow for periodic
cleaning of debris or insects.
xTotal rainfall –All the rain from start up until reset or power
down.
xDaily rainfall- Resets daily at midnight.
xWeekly rainfall –Current week. Resets every Saturday night
at midnight.
xMonthly rainfall –Current Month. Resets the 1st of each month
at 12:00am midnight.
xPress the tabs back as
indicated
to unlock the rain
gauge cover
x
Lift the rain gauge cover
off its base. Then carefully
remove the packing tape
from the bucket assembly
xOpen battery cover and
insert 2-AA batteries
according to the polarity
indicated. Close the
battery cover.
xReplace & lock the rain
gauge cover on the base
.
