Replacing the sensors
Refer to the illustrations on page
2-3
of this manual.
Replacing the rain collector and thermo-hygro sensor
To replace the rain collector and thermo-hygro sensor, proceed as follows:
1.
Loosen the three screws
[O]
at the bottom of the rain collector.
2.
Remove the rain collector from the base
[P]
.
3.
Loosen the 4 screws of the sensor cover and remove the cover
[Q]
.
4.
Unplug the data cable
[R]
.
5.
Loosen the screw
[S]
that fixes the sensor unit and pull it gently off the shaft.
6.
Slide the new sensor unit on the shaft and fix it with the screw.
7.
Reconnect the data cable.
8.
Replace the sensor cover and fix it with the screws.
9.
Place the new rain collector on the base.
10.
Fix the rain collector to the base using the three screws at the bottom.
11.
Use the bubble level
[B]
on the rain collector to check if the device is still perfectly level. If necessary,
adjust the position.
Replacing the wind sensor
To replace the wind sensor, proceed as follows:
1.
Replacing the rain collector and thermo-hygro sensor
2.
Loosen the screw
[T]
that fixes the sensor unit and pull it gently off the shaft.
3.
Slide the new sensor unit on the shaft and fix it with the screw.
4.
Reconnect the data cable.
5.
On the edge of the wind direction sensor, there are markers
[N]
representing the north (N), east (E),
south (S), and west (W). Use a compass (not incl.) to position the device so that the markers correspond
with your real location: the N marker must be directed north, the E marker east… If you do not position the
sensor correctly, the wind direction measurement will be incorrect.
6.
Use the bubble level
[B]
on the rain collector to position the device perfectly level. If necessary, adjust the
position.
