6. Assemble the poles that form the mast. The sensor carrier is plugged on the pole end marked with a sticker.
7. Set up the fully assembled sensor within the possible transmission range (up to 300 m in the open field, consider
damping by buildings). Select the location so that the sensor stands free and rain can drop directly into the rain
collector. You should also make sure that the wind measurement is not impaired by buildings, trees and similar
structures nearby.

A sunny location is possible since the temperature sensor is located in a shady and ventilated section
of the housing.
Push the mast with the compressed end first deep into the ground so that it stands firmly. People could be injured
or vehicles and objects could be damaged if the mast topples down.
When taking the station into operation for the first time, the tip of the wind vane must be oriented towards the North
to align the sensor. To do so, use some adhesive tape to fix the wind vane in this position at the housing.
8. Open the sensor housing by turning it counter clockwise. Then pull the housing
carefully downwards and remove it.
9. Press the button above the battery compartment using a pointed
object (hold button down!) and insert three AA mignon batteries into
the battery compartment with the correct polarity. Release the button
and remove the adhesive tape from the wind vane.
10. Activate the receive mode at the display console, see also Chapter
10 a).
To do so, click the “CFG” button and then “NEXT”. “NEXT SENSOR”
is displayed. Press “ENTER”.
Press from NO 1" on upwards until you reach “NO 9” (this is the only
memory position where the combination sensor can be saved). This
memory position must not be occupied by any other sensor. If it is,
you may have to clear the memory, see also Chapter 10 a).
