Note: Setup all three remote sensors and allow them to run for at least two minutes before powering the weather
station. Ensure all sensor readings are received on the weather station before mounting sensors outside.
STEP 1: Complete the initial setup on a table with all components within 10 feet of each other. This allows all the sensors
to connect repeatedly with the weather station during setup to lock the signal.
STEP 2: Wind
Wind Cups
1.
The wind cups are held on with a set screw. Use a flashlight to look into the mounting hole of the wind cups. Check
that the set screw is not obstructing the opening.
2.
Look at the axle shaft of the wind sensor. Notice that one side of the axle shaft is flat.
3.
Place the wind cups over the axle shaft of the wind sensor and gently slide them into place.
4.
The set screw should connect with the flat side of the axle shaft to prevent slipping.
5.
Use the hex key wrench tool provided to tighten the small set screw inside the cups.
6.
Test to assure the wind cups are securely mounted on the anemometer shaft and spin freely
