6. Installation
Refer to the illustrations on page 2-3 of this manual.
6.1 Assembly
The thermo-hygrometer, rain collector, and wind direction sensor are already mounted on the shaft. You just
need to attach the wind cups for the anemometer.
1. Push the wind cups onto the anemometer’s steel shaft [K].
2. Use an Allen key (incl.) to tighten the screw on the side of the wind cups [L].
3. Spin the wind cups and make sure they can move freely. If the movement is hindered, the wind speed
measurements will be incorrect.
6.2 Initialising the weather station
Before installing the weather station in its final location, you must install batteries in the outdoor unit and base
station, and let the devices initialise and synchronise. This makes sure that the communication between
outdoor unit and base station is working correctly. Poor communication can often be improved by changing the
location.
Battery guidelines
Do not puncture batteries or throw them in fire as they may explode. Do not attempt to recharge non-
rechargeable batteries (alkaline). Dispose of batteries in accordance with local regulations. Keep
batteries away from children.
 Use only batteries of the correct size and voltage.
 Remove the batteries from the indoor and outdoor units if the device will not be used for a long time. Old
batteries can begin to leak and damage the device.
 Respect the polarity when inserting batteries. The wrong polarity can damage the device.
 Alkaline batteries have a typical operating temperature range of -20°C~+54°C. Do not use the device
outside this temperature range.
