The best location for the anemometer is usually mounted on a mast in an open area where wind
is not blocked on top or sides, or above roof level on the building where the monitor is located.
Testing the effective transmission range
Before mounting the anemometer, measure the distance between the monitor & anemometer
and be sure it is within the effective transmission range. It is recommended to perform a simple
RF transmission test before mounting.
1) Place the monitor in your selected indoor location and install adapter & batteries
(see “Battery & adapter installation for the monitor” section above)
2) Place the anemometer horizontally in your selected outdoor location. Loosen the screws
on the battery door with a small Phillips screwdriver and open the battery door. Insert
2 pieces of AA batteries according to the polarity indicated. Close the battery door
and tighten the screws.
3) Hold “CHANNEL/SEARCH” button on the monitor for 3 seconds and the wind direction,
temperature & humidity icons will flash on the display. The monitor is now searching for all
remote sensors.
4) If valid wind direction, wind speed and channel-1 temperature/humidity readings are shown
on the monitor within 10 minutes, the RF transmission is successful and the anemometer
& monitor are within the effective transmission.
If above readings are not shown after 10 minutes of searching, the transmission is failed.
Shorten the distance between the anemometer & monitor. Reset the anemometer
by removing all batteries from the anemometer & wait for 10 seconds before re-installing
the batteries again. Repeat step 3 & 4 until the transmission is successful.
5) Remove all batteries from the anemometer before mounting and calibration.
NOTE:
Whenever the radio-controlled icon
is flashing on the display, the weather station
is receiving radio-controlled clock signal and the RF reception for remote sensors will stop
temporary for around 8 minutes. Wait until this icon stops flashing (or disappear) before
searching for the remote sensors.
3. Mounting the anemometer
Important:
Before mounting, be sure the monitor & anemometer are within the effective
transmission range.
Note:
To mount the anemometer, you need a mast (not supplied) about 1 – 1.25 inches
(2.54 – 3.1 cm) in diameter, and the hardware necessary to fasten it to the mounting location.
If you previously installed such a mast (for mounting antenna, for example), you can mount
the anemometer on that mast.
1) If necessary, mount and ground
a mast as directed in the instructions
provided by the mast.
2) Place the supplied U-shape metal
plates around the mast. Insert
4 pieces of the supplied Hex screws
through the holes of the U-shape
plates and the holes
on the anemometer’s mounting
bracket. (The wind vane is above
the wind cup and the metal bar
of the anemometer is in horizontal
level)
3) Tighten the supplied Hex nut onto
both ends of each screw
