Note: When replacing batteries in the transmitter wait two minutes before re-inserting for a proper reset.
Wind Direction
On the edge of the wind direction sensor, there are four letters - “N”, ”E”, ”S” and “W” representing the
directions North, East, South and West. The wind direction sensor has to be adjusted so that the directions on
the sensor are matching your real location. A permanent wind direction error will be introduced when the
wind direction sensor is not positioned correctly during installation.
Batteries
When you need to replace the batteries good quality non-rechargeable Alkaline or Lithium batteries are
recommended and will receive an appropriate trickle charge from the solar panel.
Note:
Many rechargeable batteries are 1.2V and as such are not suitable for this unit which requires 1.5V
batteries. Rechargeable batteries also often leak their peak charge quickly which can cause reduced
transmission range. As such we recommend avoiding the use of rechargeable batteries.
Note:
The performance of Alkaline batteries can be significantly reduced in colder environments resulting in
loss of signal. In this case we recommend the use of Lithium non-rechargeable batteries in the transmitter.
Note:
Incorrectly inserting the batteries may cause a fault and invalidate the warranty so take care to insert
them with the correct polarity
Low Battery Indicator
The transmitter low battery indicator
may illuminate when temperatures are outside the range of
10-35C. This does not necessarily indicate low batteries and will switch off once the temperature returns to
this range (also see note above on the use of Alkaline batteries).
