Installing the Wireless 5-in-1 Multi-Sensor

After installing batteries into the Wireless Multi-sensor, you must

choose a location to install the sensor. To ensure that your

professional weather center performs at its best, follow these

guidelines to choose a mounting location for the wireless multi-sensor:

INSTALL AWAY FROM HEAT & HUMIDITY SOURCES:

DO NOT Place the wireless multi-sensor near localized heat

sources like heaters, air conditioners, chimneys and exhaust

vents. Install the wireless multi-sensor away from asphalt or

concrete as these surfaces radiate heat from the sun. Also avoid

installing the sensor near pools, spas, or other bodies of water

as these water sources may affect the accuracy of the humidity.

INSTALL AWAY FROM SPRINKLER HEADS:

DO NOT install the wireless multi-sensor where it will be directly

sprayed by a sprinkler system, this will affect the rainfall

measurement accuracy and may force water into the housing.

WIND & RAIN OBSTRUCTIONS:

DO NOT mount the sensor with obstructions above it, as this will

ensure proper rainfall measurement. Also consider a mounting

location that has very little structures around the sensor, to

ensure proper wind speed and direction measurements.

INSTALLATION HEIGHT:

DO Mount the wireless multi-sensor at least 5 feet off the ground

(higher is better for accurate wind measurements) in an open

area NO FURTHER than 300 feet (100 meters) from the display

console. A typical installation would involve mounting the

bracket to a secured length of 2x4 or 4x4 wood (not included).

LEVEL INSTALLATION:

DO Install the wireless multi-sensor as level as possible to ensure

accurate rain and wind measurements. Use the bubble level on

the top to ensure a level installation.

SOLAR CELL ORIENTATION:

DO Install the sensor onto the mounting bracket with the solar cell

facing SOUTH. This is important to ensure that the cell receives as

much sun as possible, and also orients the wind direction

properly.

SETUPSETUP

Secure the included sensor

mounting bracket to a post

or pole (not included)

utilizing the included

hardware.

Install the wireless

multi-sensor with the solar

cell facing south to properly

orient the wind direction

vane.

Choose an open location

with no obstructions above

or around the sensor for

accurate rain and wind

measurement.

SOUTH

(1.5 meters)

NO OBSTRUCTIONS ABOVE

OR AROUND

TO CLEAR DATA COLLECTED DURING INSTALLATION:

During the process of installation, internal sensors were likely

triggered-resulting in erroneous rainfall and wind measurements.

When installation is complete, you may want to clear out the

erroneous data from the display consoles memory.

To clear out the display consoles memory without having to reset the

clock and re-establish communication, press the “CLEAR TODAY”

button. This button will clear out any data that was recorded since

12:00 am that day. The “CLEAR TODAY” button is located on the

back of the display console within the battery compartment.
