Getting Started
Follow the steps below to assemble your station. At various stages of this
assembly, you will be advised to test the system to ensure proper functioning.
1. Detach and remove the extension tube from the support tube by cutting the two black
cable ties.
2. Attach the anemometer arm to the support tube as shown below. Make sure that the
anemometer is positioned over the white field case and NOT over the black rain collector cone.

3. Attach the wind cups to the anemometer by pushing the wind cups onto the shaft as
far as they will go, then tightening the set screw.
The cups should drop slightly and into the ideal position automatically. Spin
the wind cups. If they do not spin freely, loosen the set screw and lower the
cups slightly. Repeat until the wind cups spin freely.

4. Prepare the rain collector for use.
Detach the black rain collector cone from its base by rotating the cone
counter-clockwise until its latches line up with the latch openings in the base
and then lift the cone off. (The cone fits tightly and may require extra pressure to remove it the first time.)
which holds the bucket in place during shipping.
Twist off the rain collector cone.
Carefully cut and remove the black cable tie
Snip the black cable tie.
Do not re-attach the rain collector cone at this point; you will need to test the
tipping bucket before you complete the installation.
5. Apply power to the station console.
To power up the console, first remove the console’s mounting base by pressing down on the large tab between the two oblong holes on the base’s
underside and pulling the base free. Plug the power adapter into the center
“Power” slot, as shown in the following figure, and then plug the other end
into a 110 VAC outlet.
Once power is applied, the console should beep three times within 20 seconds if the console and receiver are working properly. (Or, if you have the
optional WeatherLink
Note: If you are going to use a battery as backup, make sure that you plug in the AC power before
installing the battery. Powering up the console with the battery alone may cause the console to
lock up due to insufficient power.
