Figure 7: Battery installation diagram
Note: Please make sure the battery is inserted correctly for its polarity as
the system needs its initial power from this backup battery to start
up the system before solar panel charges up the accumulator and
supply system power afterwards. When in high altitude area, during
wintertime, sunshine time is short, thus system needs to be powered
from this backup battery, we recommend Lithium batteries to be
used for cold weather climates. Please avoid alkaline batteries,
especially when internal heater is to be activated during cold and
wet weather conditions as when heater activated, the trapped heat
inside will warm up internally, and alkaline batteries are extremely
susceptible to leakage when temperature is over certain limits. So
Alkaline batteries are forbidden to be used with this anemometer
when heater function is activated.

Before installing your outdoor sensor in the permanent location, we
recommend operating the device for one week in a temporary location with
easy access. This will allow you to check out all of the functions, ensure
proper operation and familiarize you with the weather station performance.
