5 Set up Guide
5.1 Pre Installation Checkout
To complete assembly you will need a Philips screwdriver (size PH0) and a
wrench (size M6; included in package).
Note: We suggest you assemble all components of the weather station,
including console in one location so you can easily test functionality.
After testing, place the outdoor sensor package in the desired
location. Note, however, that movement during assembly, and
movement after assembly can cause the rain sensor to “falsely”
register rain. It is therefore best if you do not connect the console to
any Internet services until you have reset these false readings using
the console. The errant values may be hard to remove from Internet
services if you do not reset first.
Attention:

Follow suggested order for battery installation (outdoor sensor first,
console second)
 Ensure batteries are installed with correct polarity (+/-)

Do not mix old and new batteries
 Do not use rechargeable batteries

If outdoor temperature may go below 32F or 0C for prolonged periods,
Lithium based batteries are suggested over alkaline type batteries for the
outdoor sensor array
5.2 Site Survey
Perform a site survey before installing the weather station. Consider the
following:
1. You must clean the rain gauge every few months and change the
batteries every 2-3 years. Provide easy access to the weather station.
2. Avoid radiant heat transfer from buildings and structures. In general,
install the sensor array at least 5’ or 1.52m from any building,
