“MIN/MAX” key at anytime), the base station will start the WWVB
radio-controlled time reception.
Note for WWVB Radio-Controlled Time:
The time and date display is based on the signal provided by the
highly accurate government operated atomic clock in Ft. Collins,
Colorado. This radio-controlled clock does not only provide for
the weather station’s time and date display but also functions as
the time and date source for all of this weather station’s memory
and history values using time and date information.
Mounting the wind sensor onto a mast
First, check that the wind-fan and the wind-vane can rotate freely
before mounting the unit. For correct and accurate readings it is
important to mount the sensor so that the front (marked E) is
pointing in East-West direction. The wind sensor should now be
mounted using the screws provided onto a mast to allow the
wind to travel around the sensor unhindered from all directions
(ideal mast size should be from Ø.63” – Ø1.3”).
Once the wind sensor is fixed onto the mast, connect the
cable to the corresponding remote sensor socket so that
operating power can be supplied and data can be
transmitted to the base station.
