3. Посібник із налаштування

3.1 Встановлення батареї

Batteries are not included and must be purchased separately. Ensure correct polarity during installation.

• Дисплейна консоль: Потрібні 4 батарейки типу АА.
• Wireless Thermo-Hygrometer: Потрібні 2 батарейки ААА.
• Rain Gauge Sensor: Потрібні 4 батарейки ААА.
• Анемометр: Requires 4 x AAA batteries. The anemometer also features a solar panel for extended battery life.

Примітка: Install batteries in the outdoor sensors first, then in the display console to ensure proper synchronization.

3.2 Розміщення датчика

Optimal sensor placement is crucial for accurate readings.

• Thermo-Hygrometer: Place in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, to measure ambient air temperature and humidity accurately. Ensure it is protected from direct rain.
• Дощомір: Install on a level surface, away from obstructions like trees or buildings that could block rainfall. Ensure easy access for periodic cleaning.
• Анемометр: Mount in an open area, as high as possible, to minimize interference from buildings or trees. The solar panel should face south for maximum sun exposure.
