5.Set up Guide
5.1 Pre Installation Checkout
To complete assembly you will need a Philips screwdriver (size PH0) and a
wrench (size M5; included in package).
Before installing the weather station on the place of operation, we recommend
placing the weather station at a temporary location with easy access for one
week. This will let you check all functions, ensure proper operation, and get
familiar with the weather station and its calibration procedures. During this
time, you can also test the wireless range between the main unit and the
integrated wireless sensor.
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.
Avoid radiant heat transfer from buildings and structures. In general,
install the sensor array at least 5’ or 1.52m from any building,
structure, ground, or roof top.
2.
Avoid wind and rain obstructions. The rule of thumb is to install the
sensor array at least four times the distance of the height of the tallest
