mounted using the screw or cable tie provided onto a solid wall/ panel mast or mast to
allow the wind to travel around the sensor unhindered from all directions (ideal mast
size should be from diameter about
5 / 8 ” (16 mm) to 1 1 / 4 ” (33 mm)).
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.
Rain Sensor
For best results, the rain sensor should be securely mounted onto a horizontal surface
about 2-3ft (60-90cm) above the ground 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).
After mounting the rain sensor, connect the cable to the thermo-hygro sensor at the
corresponding socket so power supply can be received and data be transmitted to the
base station

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 after about 2 minutes delay i.e. when
the reading interval is reached.
