Setting Up:
Important: Operating power is supplied to both the wind and rain sensors by the
thermo-hygro sensor
Setting up using batteries:
1 Sensors: Pull and remove the protective rain cover of the Thermo-Hygro
Sensor to reveal 2 socket ports and the battery cover. Insert the cables of the
wind and rain sensors in the correctly marked sockets. Slide open the battery

compartment and checking the correct polarity insert 2 x AA IEC, LR6 1.5V
batteries and replace the cover and rain cover
2 Base Station: Now open the battery cover at the back of the unit and checking
the correct polarity insert 3 x AA IEC, LR6 1.5V batteries and replace the battery
cover
Performing a function test and Setting time manually:
1. After powering up the units, the base station has to synchronize to the sensors
before the weather data can be received.
2. Afterwards, the Weather Station will start receiving data from the transmitter.
The outdoor temperature, humidity, windchill and wind speed should then be
displayed on the Weather Station. If this does not happen after 30 seconds, the
batteries will need to be removed from both units. You will have to start again
from the beginning.
3. You may then check all cables for correct connection and all components for
correct function by manually turning the wind-gauge, moving the weather-vane,
tilting the rain sensor to hear the impact of the internally moving seesaw, etc.
4. Time and date shall be manually set.
5. After the Weather Station has been checked for correct function with regard to
the above points and found fit, the initial set up of the weather station system is
finished and the mounting of the system components can take place. It must be
ensured however that all components work properly together at their chosen
mounting or standing locations. If e.g. there appear to be problems with the 915
MHz radio transmission, they can mostly be overcome by slightly changing the
mounting locations.

Note:
•
Should any outdoor data not be received from the sensors (when “- - -“ is
displayed , check all cables are correctly installed. Then user shall remove the
batteries from all units and redo the set-up procedures after about 5 minutes.
•
Wind speeds that read zero does not mean reception failure, it simply means
that there was no wind at the time of reading the data.
Mounting the units:
Users must take their surroundings into consideration before deciding which method
is best suited for them. Connection by cable is advantageous in that data from the
sensors to the base station is interference free. Using 915MHz wireless transmission
gives users little restriction on placement as that all units can be positioned virtually
anywhere to within a 330 ft radius of the base station. You must decide which method
is best suited to you. For cable connecting, please ensure that the cable included in
this set meets with your distance requirements (see accessories in the main user
manual for adding extension cables .
Important: Ensure all signals can be received and/or all cable distances meet with
your requirements at the point of fixing particularly before you start drilling any
mounting holes.
Wind sensor
Secure the main unit to the shaft of the mast holder using the single screw provided
with the front of the sensor (marked E facing in the East-West direction otherwise

wind direction will not be accurate. Now fix the entire unit to a suitable mast using the
U-bolt, washers and nuts found in this set.
Note: For best results mount the wind sensor onto a mast to allow the wind to freely
travel from all directions to enable an accurate reading (ideal mast size should be
from Ø 5/8” to 11/4” . Ensure that the cable of the wind sensor meets your distance
requirements
Rain sensor
The rain sensor should be mounted horizontally about 2-3ft off from the ground in an
open area away from trees or other coverings to allow rain to fall naturally for an
accurate reading.
Note: For best results ensure the base is horizontal to allow maximum drainage of
any collected rain
Thermo-hygro Sensor
To wall mount the thermo-hygro sensor, fix the wall holder onto the desired wall (2
screws are supplied , plug the sensor firmly into the wall holder and then carefully
replace the rain cover back over the thermo-hygro sensor.
Note: After mounting the units, should the weather data not be received, user may
need to remove the batteries from all units and redo the set-up procedures after about
5 minutes.
