Mounting the units:
Using 915MHz wireless transmission gives users little restriction on placement as that
all units can be positioned virtually anywhere to within a 330 ft radius of the base
station. Please ensure that the cable included in this set meets with your distance
requirements (see accessories in the main user manual for adding extension cables).

Important: Ensure all signals can be received and/or all cable distances meet with
your requirements at the point of fixing particularly before you start drilling any
mounting holes.
Wind sensor
Secure the main unit to the shaft of the mast holder using the single screw provided
with the front of the sensor (marked E) facing in the East-West direction otherwise
wind direction will not be accurate. Now fix the entire unit to a suitable mast using the
U-bolt, washers and nuts found in this set.
Note: For best results mount the wind sensor onto a mast to allow the wind to freely
travel from all directions to enable an accurate reading (ideal mast size should be
from Ø
5
/
8
” to 1
1
/

”). Ensure that the cable of the wind sensor meets your distance
requirements
Rain sensor
The rain sensor should be mounted horizontally about 2-3ft off from the ground (or
higher) in an open area away from trees or other coverings to allow rain to fall
naturally for an accurate reading.
Note: For best results ensure the base is horizontal to allow maximum drainage of
any collected rain
Thermo-hygro Sensor
To wall mount the thermo-hygro sensor, fix the wall holder onto the desired wall (2
screws are supplied), plug the sensor firmly into the wall holder and then carefully
replace the rain cover back over the thermo-hygro sensor.
