Assembling the Wind Gauge Sensor The Wind Gauge Sensor ships in 2 pieces: the base unit and the compass/wind direction pointer. To attach the compass/pointer to the base unit, you will need a small Phillips screwdriver (not included). 1. On the back side of the compass, there is a hollow area that will fit onto the wind sensor base unit. Align the hole in the center of the hollow area with the metal prong on the base unit. Push gently on the compass/pointer until it is all the way on the pr

Installing Home Unit Receiver Batteries Important: install the receiver's batteries first, before installing batteries in the remote Wind Gauge Sensor: 1. Remove the battery compartment cover, located on the back of the receiver unit. 2. Insert 2 AA batteries (lithium recommended) as indicated by the polarity symbols marked inside the battery compartment. 3. Replace the battery compartment cover. 4. After battery installation, the receiver unit will automatically search for remote sensors fo

Selecting and Testing a Location for the Remote Wind Gauge Sensor The Wind Gauge Sensor can measure temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed and direction. It will then transmit these readings back to the home receiver unit, up to a distance of 200 feet. Before mounting the remote Wind Gauge Sensor, measure the distance between the monitor and the sensor to be sure they are within an effective transmission range (within 200 feet), and that there are no physical obstructions between t

Selecting and Testing a Location for the Remote Wind Gauge Sensor Cont. 4. Replace the battery compartment cover, and replace and tighten the screws. 5. To test for a transmission connection, press and hold the “CHANNEL” button on the receiver for 3 seconds. The display will begin to flash as the receiver searches for the remote sensor signal. 6. When a transmission connection is established, the receiver's LCD screen will display the wind direction, wind speed, temperature and humidity re

Mounting the Wind Gauge Sensor To mount the Wind Gauge Sensor to a mast, you will need: • A 1” to 1 ¼” diameter mast (not included). • Hardware to fasten the mast to the mounting location (not included). 1. If necessary, mount and ground a mast at the selected location (such as a roof or fence post) as directed in the instructions provided by the mast (not included). 2. Hold the Sensor base up against the mast (see illustration). The metal bar is horizontal to the mast. The Wind Vane Cups s

Mounting the Wind Gauge Sensor(continued) To mount the Wind Gauge Sensor into the ground: 1. Select a location on an open, flat area of ground with the fewest obstructions possible for best wind accuracy. Choose a spot with soft soil, so as not to damage the mast when going into the ground, but firm enough that the mast will not tip over after going in the ground. No cables, pipes or other objects should be under the ground at this location. 2. Push one end of the mast slightly into the grou

Calibrating the Wind Gauge Sensor & Installing Batteries After mounting the Wind Gauge Sensor, the wind vane needs to be calibrated due north so that the Sensor can properly measure the wind direction and transmit that reading to the home receiver. Be sure the batteries are removed from the Wind Gauge Sensor before the calibration: Since the Sensor will orient north right after the batteries are installed, the wind vane needs to be pointing north first, otherwise the wind direction data tr

Setting up Additional Temperature/Humidity Sensors (not included) The remote Wind Gauge Sensor will transmit temperature and humidity readings from one location. With the purchase of an additional 1 or 2 temperature/humidity sensors (not included), this Wireless Weather System can monitor temperature and humidity readings in 1 or 2 additional locations. These remote sensors can be used to monitor temperatures in a garage, basement, child's room, wine cellar, or any other location within the

How to Set the Clock and Calendar The clock may be set to display in 12 or 24 hour format. To set the time and date: 1. Press and hold the “CLOCK” button, located on the back of the receiver unit. The time display will show the default year. 2. Press the “s ” button to select data in the following sequence: Year>Month>Date>Hour>Minute>12/24 hour format>Time Offset (Hr). (Note: Set the Time Offset to “0”.) After each selection press the “CLOCK” button to enter. 3. Press the “CLOCK” button af

How to Read Temperatures and Other Displays (continued) OUTDOOR WIND CHILL Wind Chill combines temperature and average wind speed for an “apparent” temperature, or how cold air on exposed skin actually feels. The Wind Chill reading appears on the right side of the LCD screen, below the Heat Index reading. WIND SPEED & DIRECTION The Wind Gauge Sensor samples the wind speed and direction and transmits these readings to the home receiver unit. The Wind Speed & Direction is the circular dis

Low Battery Warning When the batteries on the receiver unit or the remote unit are low, the Low Battery icon ( ) will light up on receiver unit. If the batteries for the indoor receiver are low, the Battery Icon near the indoor temperature display will light up. If the batteries for the remote Wind Gauge Sensor are low, the Battery Icon near the Ch 1 indicator will light up. If there are 1 or 2 additional temperature/humidity sensors in use (purchased separately), a Battery Icon appea
