Installation
anemometer solar transmitter are both
labeled with a red tag.
3. Install two AA batteries in the compart-
ment according to the polarity symbols
(+ and –) marked inside.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the re-
quired size and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, dif-
ferent types of batteries (standard, al-
kaline, or rechargeable), or recharge-
able batteries of different capacities.
4. Insert the anemometer’s modular plug
into the modular jack inside the ane-
mometer’s solar transmitter’s battery
compartment.
5. Align the rubber gasket on the anemom-
eter’s cord with the groove in the solar
transmitter.
6. Replace the cover and secure it with its
screws. The indicator on the solar trans-
mitter flashes while it is transmitting
data.
7. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s barrel
plug into the monitor’s
DC 12V
jack, then
plug the other end of the AC adapter into
a standard AC outlet.
All display elements appear. Then the
default time appears.
8. To calibrate the position of the wind
vane’s shaft with the monitor, turn the
shaft until
appears next to
%($5,1*
%($5,1*
%($5,1*
%($5,1*
on the monitor. This shows the wind
direction.
Notes:
• The current position of the shaft
appears on the monitor about 14 sec-
onds after you turn the shaft.
• If you are unable to view the monitor
while calibrating the wind vane, you
can use the alignment marks on the
T-bar and wind vane. When the red
mark on the wind vane’s shaft is
aligned with the mark on the outer
edge of the shaft’s base,
should
appear next to
%($5,1*
%($5,1*
%($5,1*
%($5,1*
on the moni-
tor.
9. Align the wind vane’s tail with the bar as
shown here, then carefully press the
wind vane down onto the shaft. Do not
allow the shaft to turn as you press the
wind vane down onto it.
10. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to
tighten the screw on the base of the
wind vane. Then insert one of the sup-
plied rubber screw covers into the
screw’s hole to protect the screw from
corrosion.
Important: If the shaft turns and the
monitor’s reading changes (or alignment
marks are no longer aligned), repeat
Steps 8 and 9 before you tighten the
wind vane’s screw. Otherwise, the
weather station will not provide accurate
wind direction data.
11. When you finish calibrating the ane-
mometer, disconnect the AC adapter
from the monitor.
