Getting Started
Follow the steps below to assemble your station. At various stages of this
assembly, you will be advised to test the system to ensure proper functioning.
1. Detach and remove the extension tube from the support tube by cutting the two black
cable ties.
2. Attach the anemometer arm to the support tube as shown below. Make sure that the
anemometer is positioned over the white field case and NOT over the black rain collec-
tor cone.
3. Attach the wind cups to the anemometer by pushing the wind cups onto the shaft as
far as they will go, then tightening the set screw.
The cups should drop slightly and into the ideal position automatically. Spin
the wind cups. If they do not spin freely, loosen the set screw and lower the
cups slightly. Repeat until the wind cups spin freely.
