Station
Installation
4.1
Pre
Installation
Checkout
Before
installing
your
weather
station
in
the
permanent
location,
we
recommend
operating
the
weather
station
for
one
week
in
a
temporary
location
with
easy
access.
This
will
allow
you
to
check
out
all
of
the
functions,
insure
proper
operation,
and
familiarize
you
with
the
weather
station
and
calibration
procedures.
This
will
also
allow
you
to
test
the
wireless
range
of
the
weather
station.
4.2
Site
Survey
Perform
a
site
survey
before
installing
the
weather
station.
Consider
the
following:
1.
You
must
clean
the
rain
gauge
once
per
year
and
change
the
batteries
every
two
years.
Provide
easy
access
to
the
weather
station.
2.
Avoid
radiant
heat
transfer
from
buildings
and
structures.
In
general,
install
the
sensor
array
at
least
5’
from
any
building,
structure,
ground,
or
roof
top.
3.
Avoid
wind
and
rain
obstructions.
The
rule
of
thumb
is
to
install
the
sensor
array
at
least
four
times
the
distance
of
the
height
of
the
tallest
obstruction.
For
example,
if
the
building
is
20’
tall,
install
4
x
20’
=
80’
away.
Use
common
sense.
If
the
weather
station
is
installed
next
to
a
tall
building,
the
wind
and
rain
will
not
be
accurate.
4.
Wireless
Range.
The
radio
communication
between
receiver
and
transmitter
in
an
open
field
can
reach
a
distance
of
up
to
330
feet,
providing
there
are
no
interfering
obstacles
such
as
buildings,
trees,
vehicles,
high
voltage
lines.
Wireless
signals
will
not
penetrate
metal
buildings.
5.
Radio
interference
such
as
PCs,
radios
or
TV
sets
can,
in
the
worst
case,
entirely
cut
off
radio
communication.
Please
take
this
into
consideration
when
choosing
console
or
mounting
locations.
