GETTING STARTED
SET UP REMOTE WIND SENSOR
The wind sensor takes wind speed and direction readings.
The sensor is battery operated. It is capable of transmitting data to the USB communications hub wirelessly within an approximate operating range of
100 meters (328 feet).
IMPORTANT Ensure that the wind sensor is pointing
North to enable it to record accurate readings.
NOTE The sensor should be positioned in an open area away from trees or other obstructions.
To insert batteries:
2

3
1. Unscrew the anemometer from the wind sensor carefully.
2. Insert batteries matching the polarities (+ / -) and replace the anemometer. Press RESET after each battery change.
2. Insert the horizontal attachment bracket into the base.
3. Using a screw, fix firmly into place.

3. Slide wind vane onto the end of the plastic attachment located on the aluminium pole.
NOTE Use alkaline batteries for longer usage and consumer grade lithium batteries in temperatures below freezing.
SET UP REMOTE TEMPERATURE /

4. Insert wind sensor into the top of the bracket.
5. Using screws, fix aluminium pole firmly into place.
6. Slide outdoor sensor onto bracket.
IMPORTANT For best results, point the wind vane
North.

SET UP RAIN GAUGE
The rain gauge collects rain and takes readings of rainfall rate and the total rainfall over a period of time.
The sensor can remotely transmit data to the USB communications hub.
The USB communications hub and rain gauge should be positioned within an effective range: about 100 meters (328 feet) in an open area.
The rain gauge should be mounted horizontally about
1 meter (3 feet) from the ground in an open area away from trees or other obstructions to allow rain to fall naturally for an accurate reading.
To set up the Rain Gauge:
1
2
1. Remove screws and slide the cover off in an upwards motion.
2. Insert the batteries (2 x UM-3 / AA), matching the polarities (+ / -). Press RESET after each battery change.
GETTING STARTED
SET UP USB COMMUNICATIONS HUB
NOTE Install batteries matching the polarities (+
/ -) in the remote sensors before installing the USB communications hub.
For continuous use, connect the USB communications hub to computer using USB cable provided. A rechargeable battery is included for back-up use only.
3
3. Remove the fibre tape.
To ensure a level plane:
Put a few drops of water on the cross at the base of the funnel to check the horizontal level.

NOTE Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine or fire.
SENSOR DATA TRANSMISSION
To search for a sensor:
Press and hold SEARCH located at the back of USB communications hub.
Icons will flash during search mode.
Continuous display of icons indicate that the respective remote sensor has been successfully logged.
NOTE Unit will search only for already registered sensor or new sensor reset within last 30 minutes. To register a new sensor, reset sensor prior to search.
TIP The transmission range may vary depending on many factors. You may need to experiment with various locations to get the best results.
Water will pool to the center of the cross when the rain gauge is level.
If water remains on 1-4, the gauge is not horizontal.
If necessary, adjust the level using the screw.
VIEW READINGS ON PC
To upload records to PC:
Plug USB and upload onto computer.
For your convenience, rechargeable battery will automatically be charged.
NOTE PC program must be installed before uploading of records from USB communications hub.
IMPORTANT Ensure sleep mode on computer is disabled as this will adversely affect the operation of this unit.
NOTE For best results, ensure the base is horizontal to allow maximum drainage of any collected rain.
