2.2 Installing your weather station

Setting up the Remote Weather Sensors
Before starting up the main console unit, setup all the remote sensors first.
When placing the sensors, make sure that they are within receiving range of the console unit. Ideally they should be
within the line of sight of the Main Unit. Transmission range may be affected by trees, metal structures and electronic
appliances. Test reception before permanently mounting your weather station.
Also make sure that the sensors are easily accessible for cleaning and maintenance.
The remote sensors should be cleaned on a weekly basis, since dirt and debris will affect sensor accuracy.
2.2.1 Setting up the Thermo-Hygro Sensor(s)
1. Open the latch at the base of the thermo-hygro sensor.
2. Set the channel with a slide switch.
3. Insert 2 x UM-3 or "AA" size 1.5V batteries.
4. Use a pin to press the "RESET" key which is in the battery compartment of thermo-hygro sensors.
5. Replace the latch and mount unit at desired location.
Placement tips:
The thermo-hygro sensor should be in an area with free air circulation and sheltered from direct sunlight and
-
other extreme weather conditions. Place the unit in a shaded area, such as under a roof.
Use the wall mount and fittings provided if mounting the unit on a vertical surface.
-
Avoid placing the sensor near sources of heat such as chimneys.
-
Avoid any areas which collect and radiate heat in the sun, such as metal, brick or concrete structures, paving,
-
patios and decks.
Ideally, place the sensor above natural surfaces such as a grassy lawn.
-
The international standard height for measurements of air temperature is at 1.25m (4 ft) above ground level.

anti-clockwise direction.
2. Lift the top off the base and insert 2 x UM-3 or "AA" size 1.5V batteries into the battery holder.
3. Replace the lid and secure into place by turning the knobs clockwise.
4. Place the rain sensor in a location such that precipitation can fall directly into the sensor, ideally 2-3 ft above the
ground.
It may be secured into place by using the four screws provided.
