Accurate alignment of the sensor, pointing the solar cell due south, is an essen-
tial factor because it represents the reference point for measuring the wind direc-
tion
.
It must be assembled absolutely vertically in the retaining tube in order to re-
ceive accurate measurements
.
Screw the retaining tube and sensor tight, ensuring a firm fit of all the compo-
nents
.
In its basic setting, the wind sensor is in an exact North - South direction (solar
cell facing south) to ensure an accurate north reference point for the evaluation
electronics
.
Rainfall measuring system
The rainfall measuring system is
also solar powered and is pro-
vided with a fixed address which
cannot be manipulated by the
user
.
The solar cell must be accurately
aligned to face
south
.
The rainfall measuring system
must be positioned on an abso-
lutely horizontal surface and
fixed by means of screws insert-
ed in the holes in the base of the
housing
.
Remove the upper sec-
tion beforehand by pressing it
and turning clockwise. There is
a recess in the lower section
which, when filled with water,
provides a perfectly horizontal
alignment without any other re-
sources required
.
