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 cables from the wind and rain sensors are correctly plugged in otherwise data

transmission errors could occur.

The Wind Sensor

First, check that the wind-cups and the wind-vane can rotate freely before fixing the unit. For

correct and accurate readings, it is important to mount the sensor so that the front (marked E) is

pointing in East-West direction. The wind sensor should now be mounted using the screw or

cable tie(Remove Cable tie as it leads to sensors falling) 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. Please note if the wind cord is disconnected for the Thermohygro sensor

during installation, a complete setup of al units will need to be done. Secure cord from blowing.

Do not use staples. Using PVC pipe or metal as a mast may cause static. Wood is recommended.

The Rain Sensor

For best results, the rain sensor should be securely mounted onto a horizontal surface about

39.37” (1 meter) above the ground (or higher) and in an open area away from trees or other

coverings where rainfall may be reduced causing inaccurate readings.

When securing into place, check that rain excess will not collect and store at the base of the unit

but can flow out between the base and the mounting surface (test by pouring clean water).

After mounting the rain sensor and placing battery, the rain sensor is now operable. For testing

purposes, very slowly pour a small amount of clean water into the rain sensor funnel. The water

will act as rainfall and will be received and displayed at the base station i.e. when the reading

interval is reached.

Note:

You will need to be able to access your rain gauge periodically to clean debris and possible

insect nests. Please keep this in mind when mounting.

LA CROSSE TECHNOLOGY SENSOR EXTENSION CABLE

When you require additional length to properly mount your sensor, you can use a La Crosse

Technology extension cable. The extension cable is 32 feet in length and comes with the

appropriate connecter attached. Please visit your local retailer or www.greatbigoutlet.com

purchase.

Phone cable and connections have much more resistance than our extension cable and is not

recommended for use. Using phone cable/connection may damage your sensors.

Note: Using extension cables will shorten battery life.

Warning: Never cut, splice, shorten or modify your sensor cables or extension cables. Doing so

may damage your sensors and will void you Warranty.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE:

 Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should be avoided as these may cause

damage to the unit and give inaccurate forecasts and readings.

 Precautions shall be taken when handling the batteries. Injuries, burns, or property damage

may be resulted if the batteries are in contact with conducting materials, heat, corrosive

materials or explosives. The batteries shall be taken out from the unit before the product is

to be stored for a long period of time.

 Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Replace only

with new batteries of the recommended type.

 When cleaning the display and casings, use a soft damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or

scouring agents as they may mark the LCD and casings.

 Do not submerge the unit in water.

 Special care shall be taken when handling a damaged LCD display. The liquid crystals can

be harmful to user's health.

 Do not make any repair attempts to the unit. Return them to their original point of purchase

for repair by a qualified engineer. Opening and tampering with the unit may invalidate their

guarantee.

 Never touch the exposed electronic circuit of the device as there is a danger of electric

shock should it become exposed.

 Do not expose the units to extreme and sudden temperature changes, this may lead to

rapid changes in forecasts and readings and thereby reduce their accuracy.
