GETTING STARTED
SET UP REMOTE WIND SENSOR
The wind sensor can take 3 readings:
• The wind speed and directions
• The outdoor temperature (Channel 1 only)
• The outdoor relative humidity (Channel 1 only)
The sensor is battery operated and is capable of
transmitting data to the base station wirelessly within an
approximate operating range of 100 meters (328 feet).
NOTE
For best results, ensure that the wind direction
indicator on the wind sensor points to the North to
enable an accurate reading. The sensor also should
be positioned in an open area away from trees or other
obstructions.
To set
up the wind sensor main body on the steel
pole:
1. Assemble the wind direction pointer on the top of the
wind sensor.
2. Use the screw (Type B) to fi x.
3. Assemble the wind vanes on the top of the wind
pointer.
4. Use the screw (Type B) to fi x.
5. Hold the wind sensor upright and rotate the
protective sleeve to the left to unlock.

11. Use the screw to fi x.
12. Ass
emble the wind sensor main body on top of the
pole. Use the screw (Type A) to fi x.
13. Open the battery compartment.
14. Using a compass, rotate the wind direction part until
the
NORTH
indicator points to the “North”.
15. Press
RESET
.
16. Close the battery compartment.
17. Ins
ert the 2 rectangular base legs into the ground to
fi rmly fi x the pole.
18. To keep the pole stable, use the 3 pins to fi rmly fi x
the tension strings to the ground.
To set up the wind sensor main body on an existing
pole:
1. Remove the screw that fi xes the plastic connector
at the end of the top pole.
2. Slide down the plastic connector.
3. Detach plastic base from the bundled steel pole if
previously installed.
4. Assemble it at the end of the top pole using the
screw that is already attached on the base, with the
washers and bolts to fi x.

matching the polarity (+ / -) and press
RESET
.
8. Slide the protective sleeve up to close the
compartment.
9. Rotate the sleeve to the right to lock.
To s
et up the steel pole support:
1. Assemble the “cone shape” guiding end with the
bottom steel pole.
2. Screw the guiding end clockwise at the bottom of
the pole.
3. Remove the cover hole from the plastic base.
4. Inse
rt the plastic base onto the steel pole until the
screw hole aligns with the support.
5. Use the screw that is already attached on the base,
with the washers and bolts to fi x.
6. Use the guiding end to start inserting the steel pole
at a perpendicular angle into the ground.
WARNING Make sure that there are NO electric
cables / power lines, gas / water pipes in the area
where you are placing the steel pole. Do not place
the pole into a hard rocky type of ground as it may
bend or break the pole. It should be inserted into
soft soil.
7. Place a wooden block on the top of the pole. With
a hammer, hit the wooden block to insert the pole at
a perpendicular angle to the ground until reaching
the base.
8. Asse
mbl
e the mid-pole on top of the bottom pole.
9. Use the screw to fi x.

5. Mount the plastic base on an existing pole.
6. Using the 2 U-bolts, secure the base on the pole
using the 4 washers and bolts.
7. Assemble the wind sensor main body horizontally to
the pole.
8. Use the screw to fi x.
9. Open the battery compartment.
10. Using
a compass, rotate the wind direction part until
the
NORTH
indicator points to the “North”.
11. Press

12. Close the battery compartment.
13. Rotate the sleeve to the right to lock.
SET UP REMOTE RAIN GAUGE
The rain gauge collects rain and takes readings of
the total rainfall over a period of time. The sensor can
remotely transmit data to the base station.
The base station and rain gauge should be positioned
within effective range: about 100 meters (328 feet) in an
open area.
The rain gauge should be mounted horizontally about 1
meter (2-3 feet) from the ground in an open area away
from trees or other obstructions to allow rain to fall
naturally for an accurate reading.
To set up the sensor:
1. Slide the cover up and insert the batteries (2 x UM-
3 / AA), matching the polarity (+ / -).
2. Remove t
he tape.
3. Put a
few drops of water on the cross at the base of
the funnel to check the horizontal level.
If wa
ter remains on 1-4, the gauge is not horizontal.
4. If ne
cessary, adjust the level using the screw.
NOTE
For best results, ensure the base is horizontal to
allow maximum drainage of any collected rain.
