GETTING STARTED
NOTE
Install batteries in the remote sensors before the
base station matching the polarities (+ and -).
NOTE Use alkaline batteries for longer usage and
consumer grade lithium batteries in temperatures below
freezing.
SET UP REMOTE WIND SENSOR
The wind sensor takes wind speed and direction
readings.
The sensor is battery operated. It is capable of
transmitting data to the base station wirelessly within an
approximate operating range of 100 meters (328 feet).
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.
SET UP REMOTE TEMPERATURE / HUMIDITY SENSOR
1
2
3
1. Holding sensor, twist and click to the left.
2. Pull sensor away from casing.
3. Insert batteries matching the polarities (+ / -). Press
RESET
after each battery change.
5
4
4. Insert sensor into the casing, twist and click to the
right to secure.
5. Slide temperature and humidity sensor onto the smaller
end of the sensor connector.
SET UP RAIN GAUGE
The rain gauge collects rain and takes rainfall readings. The
sensor can remotely transmit data to the base station.
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. Remove the bre tape.
SET UP BASE STATION
NOTE Install batteries in the remote sensors before the
base station matching the polarities (+ and -).
For continuous use, please install the AC adaptor. The
batteries are for back-up use only.
NOTE Make sure the adaptor is not obstructed and is
easily accessible to the unit.
NOTE The base station and adaptor should not be
exposed to wet conditions. No objects lled with liquid,
such as vases, should be placed on the base station and
adaptor.
