SET UP:
IMPORTANT: Make sure to observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries. The "+"
markings on the batteries must line up with the diagrams inside the battery compartments.
Inserting the batteries incorrectly may result in permanent damage to the units. During the
setup process, place the wireless display and the outdoor sensors on a surface with 5-10 feet
between the sensors and the display. Only use Alkaline Batteries, rechargeable batteries may
not work.
1. It is important to allow sufficient light to reach the solar panel while
activating the wind sensor. Make sure the lights are on in the setup
room and the solar panel is facing a 60W light bulb or brighter. Ensure
the panel is not covered, and remove the black protective foil on the
solar panel. Remove the tape covering the reset hole. Use the
provided plastic reset rod to gently press the reset button once in the
hole on the bottom of the sensor.
2. Insert two "AA" size batteries into the rain sensor with the correct
polarity.
3. Insert two "C" size batteries into the thermo-hygro sensor with the correct polarity.
Wait two minutes for the sensors to talk to each other.
4. Insert two "C" size batteries into the wireless display with the correct polarity. Do not
press any button for 10 minutes.
NOTE: Every time the wireless display receives data from the sensors, the wireless icons
will blink once and then return to solid if the last transmission was successful. A wind
speed or rainfall amount that reads "0" does not mean reception failure, it means that
there was no wind or rain at the time of the last measurement. The thermo-hygro
sensor syncs with the wind and rain sensors and sends all outdoor sensor data to the
display. The thermo-hygro sensor tries for 4 minutes to sync to the wind sensor and
then 4 minutes for the rain sensor. If not successful within 4 minutes, the thermo-hygro
sensor will stop looking for the other sensors.
