If the sensor wireless reception icons
drop from the weather station as you move them into their
intended locations, the sensors may be too far from the wireless weather station. Try moving the weather
station or the sensors closer and wait a few minutes to see if the wireless reception icons
display again.
If the wireless reception icons
are still not displayed after re-positioning the sensors or the wireless
weather station, hold the ▲/DATE button for 2 seconds to re-synchronize the weather station with the
sensors.
WIND SENSOR
The wind sensor must be installed with the front of the sensor (the solar panel) facing true South, or
the reported wind direction will not be accurate.
• Mount within the 200 foot wireless range of the thermo-hygro sensor and on the same side of the
house. The roof may or may not be an ideal mounting location.
• Secure the main unit to the shaft of the mast holder. Use the right-angle adaptor to mount the wind
sensor on a horizontal mast or surface.
• Fasten the wind sensor to a suitable mast using the U-bolt, washers and nuts included.
Note: Mount the wind sensor onto a mast, at a minimum height of 6 feet, so the wind can reach the
sensor unobstructed from all directions for an accurate reading. The ideal mast is between 0.62" and
1.3” in diameter. The wind sensor DOES NOT have replaceable batteries; it consumes solar power
and charges the internal battery pack automatically.
Note: Do not open the wind sensor. This will void the warranty.
Mounting Masts: A suitable mast must be made entirely of a non-conductive material (e.g. treated wood,
electrical grade metal or electrical grade PVC).
The issue is the static electricity transmission capability of the entire pipe, which can lead to erratic wind
readings, or loss of signal. Coating or painting a pipe does not resolve the static or RF interference risks,
as the inside of the material can conduct. The color gray is also not a guarantee of electrical grade
protection. Any non-electrical grade mast may conduct, which may result in data spikes, RF interference,
etc.
