INSTALLATION TIPS
Although the solar transmitters for the ane-
mometer, outdoor thermo/hygro sensor, and
rain gauge contain a built-in Ni-MH battery,
they also require a backup battery. See the
assembly sections in this manual for instruc-
tions on installing a backup battery in those
components. Replace the backup battery for
these components once a year or
when appears under the corresponding
sensor’s window.
The weather station operates at 433 MHz
and does not require wire installation among
the component parts. To ensure successful
installation and the best performance, we
recommend you follow the preparation,
installation, and connection instructions in
the order they appear in this manual.
1. Select the best location for each
weather station component and carefully
measure the approximate mounting dis-
tances.
2. Make sure you have all the tools/sup-
plies necessary to install each compo-
nent.
3. Assemble and calibrate the anemome-
ter. See “Calibrating the Anemometer”
on Page 9.
