Setting the Console Station ID using WeatherLink You can also set the console ID for your Temp/Hum Station from WeatherLink version 5.2 or later. • In WeatherLink 5.2 and 5.3 set the station type to ISS (TEMP/HUM). • In WeatherLink 5.4 or later set the station type to TEMP HUM 4x. Note: These settings are required because of changes made to the transmitter in this version of the Temp/Hum Station. Viewing Current Temperature and Humidity 1.

1. The DIP switches were not correctly set on the Temp/Hum Station. Review the procedure on page 4. 2. The ID was not correctly set on the console. Review the procedure on page 5. 3. Reception is being disrupted by RF (radio frequency) interference. 4. There is a problem with the console. See “Contacting Davis Instruments” on page 11. Note: Remember to set the Test DIP switch OFF when you’re finished testing wireless transmission. If it is left ON, the blinking LED will reduce battery life significantly.

Mounting the Temp/Hum Station The Temp/Hum Station can be mounted on a pole or on a vertical surface such as a wooden post or wall. Mounting on a Pole Use a pole having an outside diameter between 1" and 1-1/4" (25 – 31 mm). 1. Slide the stud ends protruding from the top of the station through the holes on the mounting bracket. 2. Secure the station to the mounting bracket using a #8 flat washer, #8 split lock washer and #8 hex nut one each of the stud ends.

Mounting on a Vertical Surface 1. Using four 1/4" x 1-1/2" lag screws (not included), attach the mounting bracket to the surface in the desired location. Drill holes using a 3/16" (5 mm) drill bit. Use a carpenter’s level when marking the holes, to ensure that the bracket will be level. 2. Slide the stud ends protruding from the top of the station through the holes on the mounting bracket. 3.

Maintenance • The ability of the radiation shield to keep fresh air flowing over the sensors will be reduced if the shield plates become dirty. Clean the surfaces of the shield plates periodically with a damp cloth. • Keep areas between the shield plates free of debris that may obstruct air flow. Examples are leaves, twigs, webs, nests. • DO NOT remove nesting insects or animals by spraying insect killer of any kind into the radiation shield.

A Note on Securing Cables To prevent fraying or cutting of cables, secure them so they will not whip about in the wind. Secure a cable to a metal pole by wrapping electrical tape around them both. Make sure cables are secure by placing clips or ties approximately every 3 – 5' (1 – 1.6 m). Cable Tie Cable Clip Note: Do not use metal staples or a staple gun to secure cables. Metal staples— especially when installed with a staple gun—have a tendency to cut the cables.
