4. Pre-Installation Checkout and Site Survey
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 every few months and change
the rechargeable batteries every 2-3 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, and
the mounting pole is 6’ tall, install 4 x (20 – 6)’ = 56’ away.
