• Loosen the Allen screw in the cup anemometer (see "A"); turn the screw a few turns counter-clockwise.
• Attach the cup anemometer on the metal axis (see "B").

Make sure that the 3 hemispherical elements are not damaged or even broken off - loss of warranty/
guarantee!
• Secure the cup anemometer on the axis by tightening the small Allen screw on the cup anemometer (see "C").
• Remove the battery compartment cover (26) by removing its 4 screws (25).
• Insert two batteries of type AA/mignon with correct polarity into the battery compartment (31, observe positive/+
and negative/-).
The tip of the weathercock must be aligned exactly north so that the main station
can display the correct wind direction. Then press the "SET" button (30) located
on the side inside the wind sensor's battery compartment (see arrow in the image
on the right).
This alignment must be repeated at each battery change on the wind sensor.
• Replace the cover of the battery compartment (26) again and screw it down firmly.
• The installation site for the wind sensor should not be located too close to walls or buildings to prevent wrong
measuring values. Wind close to buildings is generally faster than on a free space, and the wind direction is also
not correct, of course.
We recommend keeping a minimum distance of 3 to 5 m to buildings or trees.
The wind sensor can be screwed onto e.g. a vertical wall. Four attachment holes (27) are provided for this purpose.
It is also possible to mount it on a pole using a suitable attachment (rounded back of the housing).
