2. Selecting a location for the anemometer

Select a mounting location for the anemometer that is:

- Outdoors, not blocked on top or sides, so wind can freely reach the anemometer

- Within 20 meter open area from the monitor. Reduce distance if obstacles is between the

anemometer & the monitor

The best location for the anemometer is usually mounted on a mast in an open area where wind is not

blocked on top or sides, or above roof level on the building where the monitor is located.

Testing the effective transmission range

Before mounting the anemometer, measure the distance between the monitor & anemometer and be

sure it is within the effective transmission range. It is recommended to perform a simple RF

transmission test before mounting.

1) Place the monitor in your selected indoor location and install adapter & batteries (see “Battery &

adapter installation for the monitor” section above)

2) Place the anemometer horizontally in your selected outdoor location. Loosen the screws on the

battery door with a small Phillips screwdriver and open the battery door. Insert 2 pieces of AA

batteries according to the polarity indicated. Close the battery door and tighten the screws.

3) Hold “CHANNEL/SEARCH” button on the monitor for 3 seconds and the wind direction,

temperature & humidity icons will flash on the display. The monitor is now searching for all remote

sensors for 2 minutes.

4) If valid wind direction, wind speed and channel-1 temperature/humidity readings are shown on the

monitor within 10 minutes, the RF transmission is successful and the anemometer & monitor are

within the effective transmission.

If above readings are not shown after 10 minutes of searching, the transmission is failed.

Shorten the distance between the anemometer & monitor. Reset the anemometer by removing all

batteries from the anemometer & wait for 10 seconds before re-installing the batteries again.

Repeat step 3 & 4 until the transmission is successful.

5) Remove all batteries from the anemometer before mounting and calibration.

Should the w177 be on power at all times, or does it work on the batteries.

W 177 Ventus weather station I have changed the battery on the stand at the bowl anometer. All indices start, but measurement of the wind direction remains in the North. No matter how many times and how close the mast is to the Ventus screen, the wind direction will not change, even if the wind blows in different directions. The red light on the stand sends out a red signal, so it should be fine! Any good advice or is there something that needs to be replaced?

My weather station prediced it would rain, but this didn't happen. Why is that? Verified

The prediction on the weather station is based on air pressure. In general low pressure means bad weather and high pressure means good weather. It's possible the weather pattern develops differently than the air pressure predicts.

What is the best location for a weather station and its sensors? Verified

The weather station itself is placed inside and needs to be kept away from heat sources such as the kitchen, windows or electrical appliances. A separate outside temperature sensor needs to placed in shadow and at least 1,25m above the ground. A rain sensor needs to be placed in an open area where it can always collect rain. A wind sensor needs to be placed in an open area too, with any obstacles influencing the wind.
