Important information on product safety!
•
Do not place your device near extreme temperatures, vibrations or shocks. Caution: The wind vane and
wind cups are very delicate. Do not drop the device and avoid collisions.
•
Clean the instrument with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents. For a good
function keep the solar panel always clean. Do not submerge the unit in water.
•
Make sure that the wind vane and wind cups can spin freely and are free from dirt, debris or spider
webs
Sensor set up
Remove the protection seal from the solar panel of the wind sensor. Activate the wind sensor with the included
tool. Please carefully insert the tool in the hole marked with an arrow and press the inside button.
Positioning
The wind sensor must be installed with the front of the sensor (the solar panel) facing true south, or the reported
wind direction will not be accurate. Mount within the wireless range of the WeatherHub gateway and ideally on
the same side of the house. Secure the main unit to the shaft of the mast holder. Use the right-angle adaptor if
the wind sensor will be mounted on a horizontal mast or surface.
Fasten the wind sensor to a suitable mast using the two U-bolts, washers and nuts included. Note: Mount the
wind sensor onto a mast so the wind can reach the sensor unobstructed from all directions for an accurate
reading. The ideal mast is between 16 mm and 33mm in diameter. The wind sensor does not have replaceable
batteries; it consumes solar power and charges the internal battery pack automatically. Please consider when
choosing a location that the solar panel gets enough sunlight and is not covered by objects to guarantee a long-
term sufficient power supply.
Add Sensor
Open the app, dashboard is displayed. Tap „Add new sensor" and scan the QR code on the bottom of the wind
sensor. A copy of the sensor code is attached. Then set a name for the sensor.
