WIND/THERMOHYGRO SENSOR:
Select a mounting location within range of the wireless display (246ft open air).
Calibrate the direction of the wind: Use the compass on the top of the wind sensor to find
north. Hold the directional vane pointing due north and do not allow it to turn while you
insert 2-AA batteries according to the polarity indicated. The red LED indicator above the
battery cover of the anemometer will flash few times right after battery installation. At
that point, release the directional vane.
RAIN GAUGE:
Select a mounting location within range of the wireless display (131ft open air).
Lift the rain gauge cover off its base. Then carefully remove the packing tape from the
rocker assembly.
Open battery cover and insert 2-AA batteries according to the polarity indicated. Close
the battery cover. Replace and lock the rain gauge cover on the base.
SEARCH FOR SENSORS:
Go to the wireless display and enter SET UP mode (press SETUP button on remote
control).
Scroll down to WIRELESS SENSOR RECEPTION and select SEARCH NOW then
press enter.
The wireless display will search for all remote sensors.
If remote sensor readings are not displayed after 2 minutes, move the remote sensors
closer and search again.
With the display, working and reading sensors use the button on the remote control to
view weather and/or photos.

WIND/THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR
WIND CUPS THERMOHYGRO SENSOR
SCREWS
Positioning the wind/thermohygro sensor:
Place the Wind/Thermohygro sensor as high as you can install it. Generally, 6 ft. above the peak of the
roof (or more) is required for accurate readings. Since this sensor requires batteries to provide power,
you may need it more accessible then a traditional roof mount would allow.
Cups should be below the directional vane.
NOTE: You will need to change batteries occasionally.
The Wind/Thermohygro sensor should be within 246 ft. (75 meters, open air) from the wireless
display. Reduce distance by half for every obstruction between the sensor and the wireless
display.
AVOID: Mounting the sensor on transmitting antennas, or using PVC pipe (unless electrical
grade) to avoid interference.
The best location for the anemometer is on a mast in an open area on top and sides for 50 feet,
or above roof level on the building where the monitor is located.
Ensure that all of the sensors data is received at the intended mounting locations before
mounting holes are drilled.
NOTE:Be sure not to overtighten bolts to mast, as they may crack the mastholder. Masts should not be
more than 1 1/4 inchs in diameter to avoid blocking wind.
Ground Mount: Place at least 6 feet up on a pole in an open area. Higher is better. The
wind/thermohygro sensor should be the highest item in the immediate area. An ideal location to mount
the wind/thermohygro sensor is away from all obstacles that will block wind activity, such as trees and
houses. A 50 –foot clearance in all directions is best.
NOTE: The international standard height for wind measurement devices is 10 meters (33 feet)
aboveground, with no obstructions at or above this level. Your local reporting station is likely using this
level for measurements.
Roof Mount: In most cases, at least 6 ft above the peak of the roof (or more) is required for accurate
readings. (Avoid tall trees or other obstructions that may block or reflect the wind). A 50 –foot clearance in
all directions is best. For more information on wind speed and obstructions, check this site:
http://www.motiva.fi/myllarin_tuulivoima/windpower%20web/en/tour/wres/obst.htm.
MOUNT: To mount the wind/thermohygro sensor, 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.
If necessary, mount and ground the mast as directed in the instructions provided by the mast.
Place the supplied U-shape metal plates around the mast. Insert 4 of the supplied Hex screws
through the holes of the U-shape plates and the holes on the anemometer’s mounting bracket.
The wind vane should be above the wind cups and the metal bar of the anemometer is level
Tighten the supplied Hex nut onto both ends of each screw
