Pre-Installation Check and Site Survey
1.1 Pre-insta ation Check
Before installing your weather station in its permanent location, we
recommend operating the weather station for one week in a temporary
location with easy access. This will allow you to check out all the
functions, ensure proper operation, and familiarise yourself with the
weather station and calibration procedures. This will also allow you to
test the wireless range of the weather station.

1.2 Site Survey
Perform a site survey before installing the weather station. Consider the
following:
1.
You must clean the rain gauge every few months and change
the batteries every 12 months or so. Ensure you have easy
access to the weather station.
2.
Avoid radiant heat transfer from buildings and structures. In
general, install the sensor array at least 1.5m from any building,
structure, ground, or roof top.
3.
Avoid wind and rain obstructions. The rule of thumb is to
install the sensor array at least four times the distance of the
height of the tallest obstruction. For example, if the building
is 6m tall, and the mounting pole is 2m tall, install 4 x (8m –
2m) = 24m away.
4.
Wireless Range. The radio communication between receiver
and transmitter in an open field can reach up to 100m,
providing there are no interfering obstacles such as buildings,
trees, vehicles, high voltage lines. Wireless signals will not
penetrate metal buildings. Under most conditions, the
maximum wireless range is 20-40m.
5.
Radio interference such as PCs, radios or TV sets can, in the
worst case, entirely cut off radio communication. Please take
this into consideration when choosing console or mounting
locations. Make sure your display console is at least 1.5m away
from any electronic device to avoid interference.

If components are missing from the package, or broken, please contact
your local distributor to resolve the issue.
Note: Batteries for the outdoor sensor package are not inc uded. You will
need 2 AA-sized batteries, alkaline or Lithium batteries (Lithium is
recommended for colder climates).
Note: The console operates using an AC adapter. The included adapter
can generate a small amount of electrical interference with the RF
reception in the console, when placed too close to the console.
Please keep the console display 50cm/2ft from the power adapter
to ensure best RF reception.
