Setting up:
IMPORTANT: Make sure to observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries. The "+" markings on the batteries must line up with the
diagrams inside the battery compartments. Inserting the batteries incorrectly may result in permanent damage to the units. During the
setup process, place the wireless display and the outdoor sensors on a
surface with 1-3 meters
between the sensors and the display.
Only
use Alkaline Batteries for the Wireless Display and Thermo-hygro sensor
, rechargeable batteries may not work.
1. It is important to allow sufficient light to reach the solar panel while activating the wind sensor.
Make sure the lights are on in the setup room and the solar panel is facing a 60W light bulb or
brighter - do not cover with hands or other objects. Remove the black protective foil on the solar
panel and use the provided plastic reset rod to gently press the reset button once in the hole on the
bottom of the sensor.
2. To active the solar rain sensor. First, twist open the funnel cover of the rain sensor, then remove
the securing tape from the seesaw and
the black protective cover
from the solar panel. Swing the
seesaw to reset and activate the rain sensor. Put back the funnel cover to the rain sensor. The
solar rain sensor should then be placed under a bright environment in order to charge up the
rechargeable batteries.
IMPORTANT: Completely reset the rain sensor:
a. Unscrew the battery cover on bottom of the rain sensor and remove the
rechargeable batteries.
b. Completely cover the solar panel to block any light source.
c.
Wait 20s, then re-insert the 2 x AA rechargeable batteries and re-screw
the battery compartment back.
d. Wait 2s, and uncover the solar panel.
e. Swing the seesaw and put the rain cover top back.
f.
Place the solar rain sensor under bright environment to charge-up the
rechargeable batteries.
3. Insert two "C" size batteries into the thermo-hygro sensor with the correct
polarity.
4. Insert three "C" size batteries into the wireless display with the correct polarity.
NOTE: Every time the wireless display receives data from the sensors, the
wireless icons will blink once and then return to solid if the last transmission
was successful. A wind speed or rainfall amount that reads "0" does not mean
reception failure, it means that there was no wind or rain at the time of the last measurement. The thermo-hygro sensor syncs with
the wind and rain sensors and sends all outdoor sensor data to the display. The thermo-hygro sensor tries
for 7 minutes to sync to
the wind sensor and for the rain sensor.
If not successful within
7 minutes
, the thermo-hygro sensor will stop looking for the other
sensors.
5.
Setup troubleshooting: If the sensor data fails to display for any of the outdoor sensors within 10 minutes, (“- - -“ is displayed),
remove the batteries from
all units (except for the Wind Sensor)
for 1 minute and start the Setup procedure again at Step 1
and
completely reset the solar rain sensor (see Step 2: Important).
