PRE INSTALLATION
2.1
CHECKOUT
Before permanently install your weather station, we recommend the user to operate the weather
station at a location which is easy to access to. This will allow you to get familiar with the
weather station functions and calibration procedures, to ensure proper operation before installing
it permanently.
2.2
SITE SELECTION
Before installing the sensor array, please consider the followings;
1. Rain gauge must be clean every few months
2.
Avoid radiant heat reflected from any adjacent buildings and structures. Ideally, the sensor
array should be installed at 1.5m (5’) from any building, structure, ground or roof top.
3. Choose an area of open space in direct sunlight without any obstruction of rain, wind, and
sunlight.
4. Transmission range between sensor array and display console could reach a distance of
150m (or 450 feet) at line of sight, providing there are no interfering obstacles in between or
nearby such as trees, towers, or high voltage line. Check the reception signal quality to ensure
good reception.
5. Household appliance such as fridge, lighting, dimmers may pose Electro-magnetic
interference (EMI), while Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from devices operating in the
same frequency range may cause signal intermittent. Choose a location at least 1-2 meter
(3-5 feet) away from these interference sources to ensure best reception.
