• The connection chart for illustration:
The wind speed sensor is connected to wind direction sensor. It in turn is connected to the socket „WIND"
of the temperature/humidity sensor.
The receiver is connected to the socket „RAIN" of the solar module. The solar module is connected to the
socket „RAIN" of the temperature/humidity sensor.
• Fasten the metal rod to the sensors in the outdoor area at a suitable location. A second included metal rod is used
as extension.
Important!
The wind direction sensor has markings for the cardinal points („S" = South, „N" = North, „W" = West, „E" =
East).
Attach the metal rod with the sensors on it so that the „N" mark points due North. The correct directions can
be determined with a compass (e.g. integrated in some smartphones or can be downloaded as an app).
If you do not have a compass, you may also use a map or map material from the internet to perform at least
approximate alignment.
Reference the bubble level (See arrow in the picture) on the rain
sensor to make sure the rain sensor is completely level upon fi-
nal installation. Failure to do so will result in inaccurate rain gauge
readings.
Observe the following for selection of the mounting site:
The mounting site must be exposed for wind speed and wind direction to be measured correctly. A mini-
mum distance to buildings of 10 metres is recommended.
Do not mount the outdoor sensor under or close to trees or bushes because dropping foliage may clog the
opening in the rain sensor.
The range between the transmitter of the temperature/humidity sensor and the weather station is up to
100 m in a free range (at a direct line of sight between transmitter/receiver).
The range that can actually be achieved, however, is much lower since there are walls, furniture, windows
or plants between the weather station and the outdoor sensor.
Another interference that strongly reduces range is proximity to electrical/electronic devices, cables or
metal parts. Another problem are reinforced concrete ceilings, metal-vaporised isolating glass windows or
other devices on the same transmission frequency.
Before firmly attaching the metal rod with the outdoor sensors, you should perform a function and reception
test. After inserting the batteries into the outdoor senor and weather station (see chapter 10), the corre-
sponding measured values should be displayed after several minutes.
