Assembly
• Slide the wind cups on to the anemometer rotating shaft. Do not use force.
• Insert the Allen Wrench (provided) into the wind cup set screw opening. Tighten the set screw

to secure wind cups to the rotating shaft.

• Test to ensure cups are securely fastened to the shaft.
Battery installation
•

Remove four (4) screws from the battery compartment with a small Phillips screwdriver.

•

Open the battery compartment and install 2 “AA” size alkaline batteries (not included)

matching the polarities shown.

•

Replace the battery compartment door and secure the screws.

Aligning

• Point the wind direction vane to the north (use a compass or map if necessary).
• Press the button inside the “SET” opening located inside battery compartment with a paper clip

or similar tool. The “SET” selects a new direction for NORTH and, when pressed repeatedly,

alternates between the factory default NORTH and user selected NORTH.

• Select the factory set mode. It will be also a default setting in the future.
• Set current wind direction as NORTH.

Note: Repeat this procedure every time when changing the batteries.
Mounting
Mount the anemometer onto a vertical surface, using the fittings provided.
Placement tips:
• The anemometer should be mounted in an open area with a free air flow; away from the nearby

trees, buildings or other structures.

• For optimal performance, mount the anemometer at 33 feet (10meters) above the ground in

unobstructed area.
