 The sensor must be mounted on a stable platform or bracket
that is placed 1.5 m above the ground.
 When installing, adjust the console body so that the solar
panel faces south, otherwise the wrong wind direction will
be displayed. Note the north "N" mark on the top of the
sensor (Compass is required for correction. The relief "N"
mark of North is identical to the "N" mark of the compass).
 When installing the sensor, use a top level to ensure the
sensor is level, otherwise the accuracy of the precipitation
measurement will be affected.
 After completing the above steps, secure the screws.
 When installing, it is necessary to ensure the fixing of the
wind dampers and the wind direction indicator.
 The rain funnel should be cleaned regularly (recommended
cycle 1-3 months, depending on the frequency of rain):
1. Remove the rainwater funnel (turn the funnel
according to the illustrated direction of rotation).
2. Gently remove dirt or insects from the rain sensor.
3. Remove debris from the rainwater funnel, especially
debris from the drain.
4. Reinstall the funnel.

5. Note: Do not apply oil to the rain sensor.
Note: Make sure the console is installed within 100 meters of the
weather station (100 meters is the maximum distance
without obstacles). Depending on the type of obstacles
between the wireless sensor and the weather station, the
distance must be shortened (the signal strength decreases
after passing through the obstacle), otherwise the data
transmission may be interrupted.
