NOTE

:

 

When first operating the Weather Station, it is important to 
completely set-up the wiring and rest of the system in close 
proximity (e.g. on a table 5ft-10ft from display) and test all 
components for correct function before mounting them at 
their final destinations (See Positioning below) (Allow all 
sensors to sit with the display unit for 15 minutes before 
mounting) 
 
1. 

First, unwind the cables of the Wind sensor. Connect 
the Wind sensor to the Thermo-hygro transmitter by 

Socket for wind
