The Thermo-hygro Sensor
An ideal mounting place for the thermo-hygro sensor would be the outer wall beneath the
extension of a roof, as this will protect the sensor from direct sunlight and other extreme
weather conditions.
To wall mount, use the 2 screws to affix the wall bracket to the desired wall, plug in the
thermo-hygro sensor to the bracket and secure both parts by the use of the supplied screw
and ensure that the cable from the wind sensor is correctly plugged in otherwise data
transmission errors could occur.

The Wind Sensor
First, check that the wind-cups can rotate freely before fixing the unit. For correct and
accurate readings, it is important to mount the sensor with the cups on the bottom. The
wind sensor should now be mounted using the screw or cable tie provided onto a solid
wall/ panel mast or mast to allow the wind to travel around the sensor unhindered from all
directions (ideal mast size should be from diameter 0.62” to 1.29” (16mm to 33mm). Do
not over tighten.
Once the wind sensor is fixed onto the mast, connect the cable to the corresponding
thermo-hygro sensor socket so that operating power supply can be received and data can
be transmitted to the base station. Secure cord from blowing. Do not use staples. Using
PVC pipe or metal as a mast may cause static. Wood is recommended.
