If your sensor data is still not appearing after these steps, please contact our support staff. For additional help visit: bit.ly/basic_restart Factory Restart If your station is acting strangly, hold the ALERTS and EXIT/RAIN buttons together to factory restart your station. 13 Sensor Mounting For Accurate Temperature/Humidity Measurements Insert a mounting screw through the hole at the top to securely mount the sensor. It can also hang from the back using a nail. Mount the sensor vertically in a protected well-shaded area. Keeping it out of direct weather elements such as sunlight, rain, snow, etc. will help avoid inaccurate readings. For additional protection against weather elements, a Sensor Weather Shield: bit.ly/weather-shield can be purchased separately. The maximum wireless transmission range to the station is up to 330ft
(100m) in open air. This does not include walls, floors, or other large obstructions. For online video instructions, visit: bit.ly/th_sensor_mounting For Accurate Glide Sensor Measurements Ideally, the sensor should be mounted on the tallest object in your area. Avoid positioning it parallel or below eaves, rooflines, trees, or other objects that may obstruct wind readings. Make sure all the screws on the Mounting Bracket, Wind Cups, and Battery compartment are securely fastened. The sensor should be mounted with the Wind Cups on top. To optimize battery life, ensure the Solar Panel is facing the sun. The Solar Panel alone will not operate the sensor, batteries are required. The maximum wireless transmission range to the station is up to 330ft
(100m) in open air. This does not include walls, floors, or other large obstructions. For more information visit: bit.ly/wind_sensor_mounting 14 Glide Sensor Mounting Basic Installation Fence posts, poles, decks, and mailboxes are common mounting options due to their convenience. Many users prefer these types of locations as the data they provide is accurate from their ground level. However, because the wind in these spots is often affected by obstructions, the readings may differ when compared to local reporting stations. 1. Mount the Mast to a flat surface with the four provided screws. 2. Place the Sensor on top of the Mast. Ensure the Solar Panel is facing the sun. 3. Secure the Sensor to the Mast by tightening the screws on the side. Flexible Installation Remove Hand Screw Remove the Small Insert from the bracket and install the Short Arm with the Hand Screw in its place. Then secure the sensor to the Mast by tightening the screws on the side (step 3 above). Be sure no to lose the washer on the Hand Screw. This configuration allows you to attach the sensor to angled locations and easily make adjustments to ensure the Mast and Sensor are level. 15 Specifications Weather Station (327-1418BW) Temperature Range:
