The thermo-hygro sensor measures outdoor temperature & humidity and collects the data from the wind and the rain sensors
and sends all outdoor weather data to the wireless display, so the thermo-hygro sensor must be within the
200-foot
wireless
range of the wireless display. This allows the wind and rain sensors to be placed relative to the thermo-hygro sensor rather
than the wireless display. See the Wireless Data Diagram above.
The wind and rain sensors must be mounted within the
200-foot
wireless range of the thermo-hygro sensor and on the
same side of the house. In addition, 915 MHz sensors transmit better at a minimum mount height of 6 feet.
The wireless display must be within the
80-foot
wireless range of the USB transceiver to send weather data to the PC.
If the sensor wireless icons drop from the display as you move them into their intended locations, the sensors may be too
far from the wireless display. Try moving the wireless display or the sensors closer and wait a few minutes to see if the
wireless icons display again. If the wireless icons are still not displayed after re-positioning the sensors or the wireless
display, press and hold the
UP ARROW (▲) key for 2 seconds to re-synchronize the wireless display with the sensors.
Wind sensor
The wind sensor must be installed
with the front of the sensor (the solar panel) facing true South
, or the reported wind
direction will not be accurate. Mount within the
200-foot
wireless range of the thermo-hygro sensor and on the same side of
the house at a minimum height of 6 feet. The roof may or may not be an ideal mounting location. Secure the main unit to the
shaft of the mast holder. Use the right-angle adaptor if the wind sensor will be mounted on a horizontal mast or surface.
Fasten the wind sensor to a suitable mast using the two U-bolts, washers and nuts included.
Note:
Mount the wind sensor
onto a mast so the wind can reach the sensor unobstructed from all directions for an accurate reading. The ideal mast is
between
0.62" and 1.3” in diameter. The wind sensor DOES NOT have replaceable batteries - it consumes solar power and
charges the internal battery pack automatically.
Rain sensor
The rain sensor should be mounted on a level surface in an open area within the
200-foot
wireless range of the thermo-hygro
sensor and on the same side of the house. Mount the rain sensor at least 6 feet off the ground level for optimum wireless
transmission. The rain sensor should be accessible to allow for periodic cleaning of debris or insects.
Thermo-Hygro Sensor
The thermo-hygro sensor is "weather resistant", but not "water proof". To ensure an extended life of your sensor, mount it in a
semi-covered place out of the elements. Minimum height is 6 feet; under the eaves on the North side of the house can be ideal
to avoid the effects of sunlight. Mount the sensor 18" down from the eaves to ensure optimum performance. This will assure
the temperature of the air coming out of the attic will not affect data collected by the sensor.
To wall mount the thermo-hygro sensor, fix the wall holder onto the desired wall using the included screws, plug the sensor
firmly into the wall holder and replace the rain cover if it is not already in place.
Note:
After mounting the units, if the weather
data is not received, press and hold the UP ARROW
(▲) key for 2 seconds to synchronize the wireless display to the sensors.
