Once the wind sensor is fixed onto the mast, connect the cable to the corresponding thermo-hygro sensor
socket so that operating power supply can be received and data can be transmitted to the base station.
Secure cord from blowing. Do not use staples. Using PVC pipe or metal as a mast may cause static.
Wood is recommended.
The Rain Sensor (optional)
For best results, the rain sensor should be securely mounted onto a horizontal surface about 39.37” (1
meter) above the ground (or higher) and in an open area away from trees or other coverings where
rainfall may be reduced causing inaccurate readings.
When securing into place, check that rain excess will not collect and store at the base of the unit but can
flow out between the base and the mounting surface (test by pouring clean water). Do not tighten screws
past just snug.
After mounting the rain sensor and placing battery, the rain sensor is now operable. For testing purposes,
very slowly pour a small amount of clean water into the rain sensor funnel. The water will act as rainfall
and will be received and displayed at the base station i.e. when the reading interval is reached.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
 Do Not Mix Old and New Batteries
 Do Not Mix Alkaline, Standard, or Rechargeable Batteries
 Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should be avoided as these may cause damage to the
unit and give inaccurate forecasts and readings.
 Precautions shall be taken when handling the batteries. Injuries, burns, or property damage may be
resulted if the batteries are in contact with conducting materials, heat, corrosive materials or
explosives. The batteries shall be taken out from the unit before the product is to be stored for a long
period of time.
 Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Replace only with new
batteries of the recommended type.
 When cleaning the display and casings, use a soft damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or scouring
agents as they may mark the LCD and casings.
 Do not submerge the unit in water.
 Special care shall be taken when handling a damaged LCD display. The liquid crystals can be
harmful to user's health.
 Do not make any repair attempts to the unit. Return them to their original point of purchase for repair
by a qualified engineer. Opening and tampering with the unit may invalidate their guarantee.
 Never touch the exposed electronic circuitry of the device, as there is danger of electric shock, should
it become exposed.
 Do not expose the units to extreme and sudden temperature changes, this may lead to rapid changes
in forecasts and readings and thereby reduce their accuracy.
