Set up Guide
4.1
Pre-installation
To complete assembly you will need a Philips screwdriver (size PH0) and an
M5 wrench (included).
For setup we recommend placing the weather station in a temporary
location with easy access for one week. This will let you check all functions,
ensure proper operation, and get familiar with the weather station and its
calibration procedures.
Attention:
Ensure batteries are installed with correct polarity (+/-)
Do not mix old and new batteries
Do not use rechargeable batteries
If outdoor temperature go below 0°C for prolonged periods, Lithium
based batteries are recommended for optimal performance

Outdoor Sensor Package Assembly
4.2.1
Install U-bolts and metal plate
Installation of the U-bolts, which are in turn used to mount the sensor
package on a pole, requires installation of an included metal plate to
receive the U-bolt ends. The metal plate, has four holes through which the
ends of the two U-bolts will fit. The plate itself is inserted in a groove on the
bottom of the unit (opposite the solar panel). Note that one side of the
plate has a straight edge (which goes into the groove), the other side is
bent at a 90-degree angle and has a curved profile (which will end up
“hugging” the mounting pole). Once the metal plate is inserted, insert both
U-bolts through the respective holes of the metal plate as shown in Figure
