22. Using the string, tie a knot on the eye pins. Hammer each eye pin into the ground
at a 90° angle.
IMPORTANT Using the fasteners, tighten the string. To tighten, pull fastener down.
To loosen, thread the string up through the fastener eyelets.

7. Slide the solar panel connector into place on the other side of the bracket. Slot
the solar panel in place.
8. Adjust the solar panel. Once facing desired direction, use screw to fix in place.
9. Loosen the wing bolt and adjust the angle. Tighten wing bolt to secure solar panel
at desired angle.
10. Remove outdoor sensor from casing. Plug one solar panel cable into the socket.
Replace sensor into the casing.
NOTE For best results, direct solar panel as follows:
Solar panel facing: If you reside in the:
North Southern Hemisphere
South Northern Hemisphere

11. Plug the other solar panel cables into the socket on the wind vane.
NOTE There are slots to insert the solar
power cable for convenient storage. There
are also fasteners to help tighten the
cables.
ALTERNATIVE SET UP: TEMPERATURE / HUMIDITY SENSOR
MOUNTED SEPARATELY
1. Insert 4 type A screws into the holes of the sensor connector. Screw firmly into
place, i.e., fence.
SET UP RAIN GAUGE
The rain gauge collects rain and takes readings of rainfall rate and the total rainfall
over a period of time. The sensor can remotely transmit data to the base station.
The base station and rain gauge should be positioned within an effective range:
about 100 meters (328 Feet) in an open area.
The rain gauge should be mounted horizontally about 1 meter (3 feet) from the
ground in an open area away from trees or other obstructions to allow rain to fall
naturally for an accurate reading.
To set up the Rain Gauge:
1. Remove screws and slide the cover off in an upwards motion.
2. Insert the batteries (2 x UM-3 / AA), matching the polarities (+ / -). Press RESET
after each battery change.
3. Remove the fibre tape.
To ensure a level plane:
Put a few drops of water on the cross at the base of the funnel to check the horizontal
level.
