2. PRE-INSTALLATION
2.1 CHECKOUT
Before permanently install your weather station, we recommend the user to operate the weather station
at a location which is easy to access to. This will allow you to get familiar with the weather station
functions and calibration procedures, to ensure proper operation before installing it permanently.
2.2 SITE SELECTION
Before installing the sensor array, please consider the followings:
1.
Rain gauge must be cleaned every few months.
2.
Batteries must be changed about every 1.5 years.
3.
Avoid radiant heat reflected from any adjacent buildings and structures. Ideally, the sensor
array should be installed at 1.5m (5’) from any building, structure, ground or roof top.
4. Select an open area for the sensor that allows moderate direct sunlight and no stormy
precipitation.
5. Transmission range between sensor array and display console could reach a distance of
100m (or 300 feet) at line of sight, providing there are no interfering obstacles in between
or nearby such as trees, towers, or high voltage line. Check the reception signal quality to
ensure good reception.
6. Household appliance such as fridge, lighting, dimmers may pose Electro-magnetic
interference (EMI), while Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from devices operating in the
same frequency range may cause signal intermittent. Choose a location at least 1-2 meter
(3-5 feet) away from these interference sources to ensure best reception.
