Note:

While in the search mode, the remote search icon

will be constantly displayed until all the measured values

received. The console will automatically switch to the normal

mode from which all further settings can be performed.

When connected with the Integrated Outdoor Sensor, the

measured value (Outdoor temperature, humidity, wind speed,

wind direction, wind gust and average, rainfall, UV and

Sunlight index, Dew point and feels like) will show up on the

display console.

Note:

Make sure that the distance between weather station

sensors and display console should be within 10ft (3m) to 100ft

(30m). If the weather station sensors is too close or too far

away, it may not receive a proper signal.

3.5 Sensor Operation Verification

The following steps verify proper operation of the sensors prior

to installing the sensor array.

1.

Verify proper operation of the rain gauge.

Tip the

Integrated outdoor sensor back and forth several times. You

will heard a “ticking” sound within the rain gauge. Verify the

rain reading on the display console is not reading 0.00. Each

“ticking” represents 0.01 inch of rainfall.

2.

Verify proper operating of the wind speed.

Rotate the

wind cups manually or with a constant speed fan. Verify the

wind speed is not reading 0.0.

3.

Verify proper operation of in/outdoor temperature.

Verify the indoor and outdoor temperature match closely with
