OUTDOOR DATA COLLECTOR / MANUAL SETUP
Mounting the outdoor weather data collector onto the stainless steel mast
For accurate results, the outdoor data collector metal pole should be securely mounted onto a
horizontal surface where it is at least 1 meter above the ground, and in an open area away from
trees and other coverings where rainfall or wind speed may be reduced and cause
Inaccurate readings.
Note:
1.
Please ensure that the wind speed and wind direction arms are free to move and not
touching or resting on anything nearby.
2.
There is marks W,S,E,N on the shaft of the wind sensor, please make sure the “N”
points to the North direction.
3.
Set-up the indoor receiver and outdoor data collector in an OPEN as possible area.
This means trying to avoid concrete walls or anything that may cause interference
between the two units as this may shorten the transmission distance.
4.
Set-up the outdoor data collector in a very open area outside, in the direct sunlight,
avoid shaded areas as this will cause the UV to read incorrectly.
5.
Position the bubble in the middle of the level Indicator, this is important to ensure the
rain gauge and wind measurements are accurate.
6.
Fix the metal pole as our above picture illustrates , make sure the metal pole is
mounted no more than 60mm below the surface, this is to ensure that the wind sensor
has room to move around freely.
