Setup
1. Powering the Display Console
- Connect the provided power adapter to the display console and plug it into a standard electrical outlet.
- For backup power, install 3 AAA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment on the back of the console. Ensure correct polarity.
2. Installing the Outdoor Sensor
The outdoor sensor requires careful placement for accurate readings.
- Location: Choose an open area, free from obstructions like buildings, trees, or vehicles, that could interfere with wind, rain, or sunlight. The sensor has a transmission range of up to 328 feet (100 meters) to the display console.
- Mounting: Use the included mounting pole and bracket. Ensure the sensor is level for accurate rain collection and wind direction. The wind vane should point North.
- Batteries: Install batteries (not included) into the outdoor sensor as per the instructions in the sensor's specific manual (if provided separately).
3. Sensor Synchronization
Once both units are powered, the display console will automatically attempt to connect with the outdoor sensor. This may take a few minutes. Ensure both units are within range and free from major interference.
