3. Set up power supply for the remote sensor.
4. Position the base station and the remote sensor within the effective transmission range.
When changing batteries always change all batteries and replace them in the correct order, so the re-
mote connection can be re-established. If either of the devices is mains-powered, the power supply
must be disconnected for a short moment also for this device when exchanging the batteries. If batter-
ies are exchanged in only one of the devices (i.e. the remote sensor) the signal can’t be received or
can’t be received correctly.
Note, that the effective range is vastly affected by building materials and position of the main and re-
mote units. Due to external influences (various RC devices and other sources of interference), the
maximum distance can be greatly reduced. In such cases we suggest to position the main unit and the
remote sensor at other places. Sometimes all it takes is a relocation of one of these components of a
few inches! Though the remote unit is weather proof, it should be placed away from direct sunlight,
rain or snow.
9 Setting up power supply
Base unit
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment. Ensure that the battery polarity (+/-) is correct.
3. Replace the battery compartment cover.
Remote sensor
4. Loosen the screw at the battery compartment cover with a small Philips screwdriver and remove
the cover.
5. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment. Ensure that the battery polarity (+/-) is correct.
6. Replace the cover and retighten it with the screw.
10 Assembling and installing the multifunctional
remote sensor
Depending on the desired location, the remote sensor can be installed in two different ways.
NOTICE! During the assembly make sure that the upper part of the wind vanve is minimum 1.5
meters off the ground. Use the circular level in the sensor head to ensure a level installation. The
windmill must point to the North.
Assembly on a vertical or horizontal wooden element
1. Slide one end of the assembly bar into the aperture below the sensor head.
2. Slide one screw through the bore hole and put on the nut on the opposite site. Tighten the screw
connection by hand.
3. Depending on the desired orientation, slide the opposite end of the assembly bar into the aperture
for vertical or horizontal mounting of the assembly base.
4. Slide another screw through the bore hole of the assembly base and put on the nut on the oppos-
ite site. Tighten the screw connection by hand.
5. Place the assembly base with its bottom site first on a wooden element. Use 4 wood screws to
tighten it.
Assembly on a vertical or horizontal tube
6. Repeat steps 1 to 4 as before.
7. Place the assembly base with its bottom site first on the tube. Push the tube bracket against the
tube from the opposite site.
