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. 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. Secure the sensor connector in the desired location: a. Align the back of the sensor connector to an

existing pole. Secure in place by inserting the ends of the U-bolt into the holes on the sensor connector

and securing it with washers and bolts. OR b. Insert 4 type A screws into the holes of the sensor

connector. Screw ﬁ rmly into place, i.e., fence.

4. Slide wind vane onto the smaller end of the sensor connector.

NOTE Use alkaline batteries for longer usage and consumer grade lithium batteries in temperatures below freezing.

SET UP REMOTE TEMPERATURE / HUMIDITY SENSOR

The remote sensor can collect data from up to 3 channels.

To set up the remote sensor:

1. Slide open the battery door.

2. Slide channel switch to select a channel (1, 2, 3). Ensure you use a different channel for each sensor.

3. Insert the batteries, matching the polarities (+ / -).

4. Press

RESET after each battery change.

5. Close the battery door.

NOTE Install batteries in the remote sensor before the base station matching the polarities (+ and -).

6. Initiate a sensor search on the base station to start receiving temperature / humidity data from the sensor.
