GETTING STARTED
SET UP REMOTE WIND SENSOR
The win d sens or takes wind spe ed and directi on readings.
The sensor is bat ter y operated. It is cap able of transmitting data to the base station wirelessly within an approximate operating range of 100 meters (328 feet).
IMPORTANT Ensure that the wind sensor is pointing North to enable it to record accurate readings.
NOTE The sensor should be positioned in an open area away from trees or other obstructions.
To insert batteries:
1
2
1. Unscrew the anemometer from the wind sensor carefully.
2. Insert batteries matching the polarities (+ / -) and replace the anemometer. Press
RESET after each
battery change.
3
3. Slide wind vane onto the end of the plastic attachment located on the aluminium pole.
NOTE Use alkaline batteries for longer usage and consumer grade lithium batteries in temperatures below freezing.
SET UP REMOTE TEMPERATURE / HUMIDITY SENSOR

3. Insert the versatile plastic base into the pole. Align the holes of the pole with the holes of the plastic base.
4. Secure the plastic base by inserting the screw and screwing it tightly into the holes of the plastic base and pole.
IMPORTANT The sensor should be positioned in an open area away from trees or other obstructions.
5. Hammer pole (cone end down) into the ground at the desired spot until versatile plastic base is level with the ground.
TIP Place a block of wood between the pole and the hammer to prevent damage to the pole.

ALTERNATIVE SET UP: TEMPERATURE / HUMIDITY SENSOR MOUNTED SEPARATELY
1. Insert 4 type A screws into the holes of the sensor connector. Screw firmly into place, i.e., fence.
SET UP RAIN GAUGE
The rain gauge collects rain and takes readings of rainfall rate and 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 an effective range: about 100 meters (328 feet) in an open area.
The rain gauge should be mounted horizontally about 1 meter (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 Rain Gauge:
2
1
1. Remove screws and slide the cover off in an upwards motion.
2. Insert the batteries (2 x UM-3 / AA), matching the polarities (+ / -). Press
RESET after each battery
change.
3
3. Remove the fibre tape.
To ensure a level plane:
Put a few drops of water on the cross at the base of the funnel to check the horizontal level.
1
23
4
Water will pool to the center of the cross when the rain gauge is level.
If water remains on 1-4, the gauge is not horizontal.
If necessary, adjust the level using the screw.
NOTE For best results, ensure the base is horizontal to allow maximum drainage of any collected rain.

SET UP BASE STATION
NOTE Install batteries in the remote sensor before the
base station matching the polarities (+ and -).
For continuous use, please install the AC adapter. The batteries are for back-up use only.
NOTE Make sure the adapter is not obstructed and is easily accessible to the unit.
NOTE The base station and adapter should not be exposed to wet conditions. No objects filled with liquid, such as vases, should be placed on the base station and adapter.
Install the base station batteries (4 x UM-3 / AA) matching the polarity + and -. Press RESET after each battery
change.
NOTE Do not use rechargea ble batter ies . It is
recommended that you use alkaline batteries with this product for longer performance.
NOTE Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine or fire.
