3.4.2Sensor Operation Verification

The following steps verify proper operation of the sensors prior to installing the sensor

array.

1. Verify proper operation of the rain gauge. Tip the sensor array back and forth several

times. You should hear a “clicking”sound within the rain gauge. Verify the rain reading on

the display console is not reading 0.00. Each “click”represents 0.3mm of rainfall.

2. Verify proper operating of the wind speed. Rotate the wind cups manually or with a

constant speed fan. Verify the wind speed is not reading 0.0.

3. Verify proper operation of the indoor and outdoor temperature. Verify the indoor and

outdoor temperature match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location

(about 3m apart). The sensors should be within 2°C (the accuracy is ±1°C). Allow about

30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize.

4. Verify proper operation of the indoor and outdoor humidity. Verify the indoor and

outdoor humidity match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location

(about 3m apart). The sensors should be within 10% (the accuracy is ± 5%). Allow about

30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize.

4. Weather Station Installation

4.1

Pre Installation Check. Before installing your weather station in the permanent

location, we recommend operating the weather station for one week in a temporary

location with easy access. This will allow you to check out all of the functions, insure

proper operation, and familiarize you with the weather station and calibration procedures.

This will also allow you to test the wireless range of the weather station.

4.2 Location Survey

Perform a site survey before installing the weather station. Consider the following:

1. You must clean the rain gauge once per year and change the batteries every year.

Provide easy access to the weather station.
