Setting Up The Main Unit - Bresser 4CAST PC Manual Del Usario

SOLAR PANEL:
The Solar Panel turns sunlight into energy and therefore charges the batteries.
They present the main power source for the whole electric circuit of the Wind Sensor.
These two UM-3/AA Batteries serve as protection for the system which means when the
batteries are empty, the Solar Panels will deliver the energy for the Wind Sensor. To guarantee a
stable system, make sure two UM-3/AA Batteries are always attached.
PLACEMENT TIPS:
• Check that wind can travel freely around the anemometer and is not distorted by nearby
buildings, trees or other structures.
• For better results, place the anemometer at least 3m above local structures and obstacles. The
ground creates a frictional effect to wind flow and will attenuate readings.
• Aim for maximum exposure of the anemometer to the commonest wind directions in your
area.
• The official mounting location for anemometers is 10m (33 ft) above ground level in a clear
unobstructed location.

2.2.4 SETTING UP THE MAIN UNIT

You are highly recommended to connect the AC/DC adaptor. For the feature of the automatic
backlight control function, the AC/DC adaptor must be used.
PLACEMENT TIPS:
Make sure that the Main Unit is within receiving range of all remote sensors. Ideally sensors
should be within the line of sight of the console unit. Transmission range may be affected by
trees, metal structures and electronic appliances. Test reception before permanently mounting
your weather station.
The Main Unit measures indoor temperature, humidity, pressure and receives signals from all
remote sensors and radio-clock broadcasts. Avoid placing the console unit in the following areas:
• Direct sunlight and surfaces which radiate and emit heat.
• Near heating and ventilation devices, such as heating ducts or air conditioners.
• Areas with interference from wireless devices (such as cordless phones, radio headsets,
baby listening devices) and electronic appliances.
STARTING UP THE MAIN UNIT
Once the console unit is properly powered, the display will start showing some data and
weather parameters. Wait for a few minutes for the console to finish self-calibration and for the
sensor readings to show up.
If "---" is still displayed for the sensor reading(s), check the wireless transmission path and the
batteries for the corresponding sensor.
