First, check that the wind-cups and the wind-vane can rotate freely
before fixing the unit. For correct and accurate readings, it is important
to mount the sensor so that the front (marked E) is pointing in East-
West direction. The wind sensor should now be 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 0.62” to 1.29” (16mm to
33mm). Do not over tighten.
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
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).
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.
Note:
You will need to be able to access your rain gauge periodically to clean
debris and possible insect nests. Please keep this in mind when
mounting.
LA CROSSE TECHNOLOGY SENSOR EXTENSION CABLE
Horizontal panel
34
When you require additional length to properly mount your sensor, you
can use a La Crosse Technology extension cable. The extension cable
is 32 feet in length and comes with the appropriate connecter attached,
Please visit your local retailer or www.greatbigoutlet.com to purchase.
Phone cable and connections have much more resistance than our
extension cable and is not recommended for use. Using phone
cable/connection may damage your sensors.
Note:
Using extension cables will shorten battery life.
Warning:
Never cut, splice, shorten or modify your sensor cables or extension
cables. Doing so may damage your sensors and will Void you Warranty.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
• 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 circuit of the device as there
is a 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.
