USER’S MANUAL

SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchasing the WGR 968 Anemometer.

The anemometer measures wind speed and direction.

The Anemometer is a part of the Cable Free Weather Station (WMR112A). If you want to see readings for the wind speed, wind direction and wind chill temperature you need to own a WMR112A main display unit.

The anemometer is powered by solar transmitter STR938 that is included in the package.

SECTION 2 INSTALLATION

To install it,

1.Unscrew the solar transmitter STR938.

2.Plug in the connector of WGR968 into the solar transmitter as shown.

The wind speed and direction window on the main unit should read 180° if the main unit is installed.

THE SOLAR TRANSMITTER

The solar transmitter makes use of solar energy to power the anemometer. Two pieces of UM3 or "AA" - sized batteries are needed as back-up power.

Note: It is recommended to insert two UM3 or “AA”-sized super lithium batteries for weather condition under 32°F.

For the solar transmitter to function properly, make sure the solar receptors on the transmitter is exposed to sunlight and the connectors of the connection cable are securely plugged in.
