15. Once testing is completed, you can mount the station on an outdoor pole (not incl.) using the included
clamps. Choose a suitable mounting location for the receiver. Commonly, the communication between the two
stations can reach a distance of 100m in the open field, provided that there are no obstacles such as
buildings, trees, vehicles, high-voltage lines, etc. Radio interference such as from PCs, radios and television
sets can entirely cut off the communication. Take this into consideration when choosing a mounting location.
Notes:
 On the edges of the wind direction sensor [E] the direction is indicated (“N” = north, “E” = east, “S” =
south and “W” = west). Make sure these inscriptions match the real wind direction. Use a compass (not
incl.) when installing the station to position the direction sensor correctly.
 Make sure the solar panel is facing the sun to keep the transmitter batteries sufficiently charged.
