INSTALLATION

Pre Installation Checkout
Before installing your weather station in the 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 of the functions,
insure proper operation, and familiarize you with the weather station and
calibration procedures. This will also allow you to test the wireless range of the
weather station.
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 2-3 years. Provide easy access to the weather station.
2. Avoid radiant heat transfer from buildings and structures. In general,
install the sensor array at least 1.5 m 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 6 m tall, and the mounting pole
is 1.8 m tall, install 4 x (6 – 1.8) m = 17 m away.
4. Wireless Range. The radio communication between receiver and
transmitter in an open field can reach a distance of up to 100 meter,
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 30 m.
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 five feet away from any electronic device to avoid
interference.
