2. Selecting a location for the anemometer
Select a mounting location for the anemometer that is:
- Outdoors, not blocked on top or sides, so wind can freely reach the anemometer
- Within 50 meter (164 feet) open area from the monitor. Reduce distance if obstacles is between the
anemometer & the monitor
The best location for the anemometer is usually mounted on a mast in an open area where wind is not blocked on
top or sides, or above roof level on the building where the monitor is located.
Testing the effective transmission range
Before mounting the anemometer, measure the distance between the monitor & anemometer and be sure it is
within the effective transmission range. It is recommended to perform a simple RF transmission test before
mounting.
1) Place the monitor in your selected indoor location and install adapter & batteries (see “Battery & adapter
installation for the monitor” section above)
2) Place the anemometer horizontally in your selected outdoor location. Loosen the screws on the battery
door with a small Phillips screwdriver and open the battery door. Insert 2 pieces of AA batteries according to
the polarity indicated. Close the battery door and tighten the screws.
3) Hold “CHANNEL/SEARCH” button on the monitor for 3 seconds and the wind direction, temperature &
humidity icons will flash on the display. The monitor is now searching for all remote sensors.
4) If valid wind direction, wind speed and channel-1 temperature/humidity readings are shown on the monitor
within 10 minutes, the RF transmission is successful and the anemometer & monitor are within the effective
transmission.
If above readings are not shown after 10 minutes of searching, the transmission is failed.
Shorten the distance between the anemometer & monitor. Reset the anemometer by removing all batteries
from the anemometer & wait for 10 seconds before re-installing the batteries again. Repeat step 3 & 4 until
the transmission is successful.
5) Remove all batteries from the anemometer before mounting and calibration.
NOTE
: Whenever the radio-controlled icon
is flashing on the display, the weather station is receiving
radio-controlled clock signal and the RF reception for remote sensors will stop temporary for around 8 minutes.
Wait until this icon stops flashing (or disappear) before searching for the remote sensors.
3. Mounting the anemometer
Important:
Before mounting, be sure the monitor & anemometer are within the effective transmission range.
Note:
To mount the anemometer, you need a mast (not supplied) about 1 – 1.25 inches (2.54 – 3.1 cm) in
diameter, and the hardware necessary to fasten it to the mounting location. If you previously installed such a mast
(for mounting antenna, for example), you can mount the anemometer on that mast.
1. If necessary, mount and ground a mast as directed in the instructions provided by the mast.
2. Place the supplied U-shape metal plates around the mast. Insert 4 pieces of the supplied Hex screws
through the holes of the U-shape plates and the holes on the anemometer’s mounting bracket.
(The wind vane is above the wind cup and the metal bar of the anemometer is in horizontal level)
3. Tighten the supplied Hex nut onto both ends of each screw
