Before permanently install your weather station, we recommend the user to operate the weather
station at a location which is easy to access to . This will allow you to get familiar with the
weather station functions and calibration procedures, to ensure proper operation before installing
it permanently .

Site selection
Before installing the sensor array, please consider the followings;
1 . Rain gauge must be clean every few months
2 . Batteries must be changed every 2 to 2 .5 years
3 . Avoid radiant heat reflected from any adjacent buildings and structures. Ideally, the sensor
array should be installed at 1 .5m (5') from any building, structure, ground or roof top .
4 . Choose an area of open space in direct sunlight without any obstruction of rain, wind, and
sunlight .
5 . Transmission range between sensor array and display console could reach a distance of
150m (or 450 feet) at line of sight, providing there are no interfering obstacles in between
or nearby such as trees, towers, or high voltage line . Check the reception signal quality to
ensure good reception .
6 . Household appliance such as fridge, lighting, dimmers may pose Electro-magnetic
interference (EMI), while Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from devices operating in the
same frequency range may cause signal intermittent . Choose a location at least 1-2 meter
(3-5 feet) away from these interference sources to ensure best reception .
