MOUNTING THE WIRELESS WIND SPEED
AND WIND DIRECTION SENSOR:
Before permanently mounting the
wind speed bracket, make sure that
the wind-fan and wind-vane can rotate
freely without any disruption. Also
note that the wind speed sensor
bracket arm must be pointing north.
The wind speed sensor should be
positioned to allow the wind to flow
around the sensor unhindered from all
directions for the most accurate and
correct readings.
OPTIONAL POLE MOUNTING:
Both sensors are designed to mount in
two ways, either to flat surfaces like
wood posts, or to 3/4” schedule 40
PVC pipe (the outside dimension of the
pipe actually measures approximately
1, 1/16”). The pipe mounting method is
often referred to in these instructions.
The ideal mounting scenario would be
for the wireless thermo-hygrometer to
be mounted on the north side of the
building and for the wind sensor to be
mounted well away from the building
and high in the air. Please test the
wireless signal range before perma-
nently mounting.
Since PVC pipe is somewhat flexible, if
a tall wind sensor mast is being
erected, a larger diameter PVC pipe
should be used for the base with a
reducer fitting placed at the top.
Plastic pipes used for mounting are
non-conductive and reduce the
likelihood of lightening strikes.
BATTERIES (not included)
NOTE: Do not install batteries in any of the units until you have read through the initial set-up
steps in their entirety.
BATTERY TYPE:
INDOOR UNIT: “AA” (3) alkaline type batteries can be used for the indoor unit.
WIRELESS OUTDOOR UNIT (S): It is recommended that LITHIUM type “AA” batteries be used in any
outdoor units when the tempe0rature drops below -4ºF. Alkaline batteries will freeze at very low
temperatures and will fail to provide adequate power to the wireless units.
MAIN UNIT BATTERY REPLACEMENT:
When the low battery indicator icon becomes present, it is recommended that you change the
batteries. Replace only with the same or equivalent type of fresh alkaline batteries. This method
of battery replacement ensures there will be no loss in MIN/MAX and history data. However, if
the main unit or sensors have remained without batteries for an extended period of time, the
main unit will lose the MIN/MAX memory and all other weather data recordings and will have to
be synchronized again.
BEFORE INSTALLING BATTERIES:
Before you install the batteries in the main unit, you will need to have the altitude at which the
unit will be operating at ready to enter. This step cannot be skipped or returned to during the
initial set-up. Visit www.topozone.com, consult your local library or call our customer service
department at 877-221-1252 for altitude information.
BATTERY INSTALLATION:
For the first installation, insert the batteries into the two WIRELESS SENSORS FIRST and then into
the main unit.
Thermo-Hygrometer Sensor: Rotate and pull the top casing from the bottom cone by turning the
unit upside down and rotating counter-clock wise until casing pulls apart. Insert 2 fresh alkaline
“AA” batteries (batteries not included). Replace the battery compartment cover and rotate the
top back into the bottom piece.
Wind Sensor: Twist off the top from the bottom and open the battery cover located on the
bottom of the sensor. Insert 2 fresh alkaline “AA” batteries. (Batteries not included. Replace
battery door cover by putting battery cover on half way and then sliding into place. Twist on the
top to the bottom piece.
Main Unit: Open the battery cover located on the back of the unit. Remove the screw set
provided for wall mount use and insert 3 fresh alkaline “AA” batteries. (Batteries not included).
Replace battery door cover.
NOTE: When reinstalling the batteries while holding down the “CLEAR” button, all user settings
will be cleared and the unit will set back to the factory default settings. If no button is pushed
during battery replacement, the last record and user settings will be saved.
NOTE: When installing batteries, always install according to the polarity indicated in the battery
compartment ( + to + and - to - ).
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR:
Low battery indicator is displayed on the main unit for the main unit and all wireless sensors.
When replacing the batteries, please follow the battery installation procedure as mentioned in
this instruction manual.
