2. PRE INSTALLATION 2.1 CHECKOUT Before permanently install your weather station, we recommend the user to operate the weather station at a location which is easy to access to. This will allow you to get familiar with the weather station functions and calibration procedures, to ensure proper operation before installing it permanently.
2.2 SITE SELECTION Before installing the sensor array, please consider the followings; 1. Rain gauge must be clean every few months 2. Avoid radiant heat reflected from any adjacent buildings and structures. Ideally, the sensor
array should be installed at 1.5m (5′) from any building, structure, ground or roof top. 3. Choose an area of open space in direct sunlight without any obstruction of rain, wind, and
sunlight. 4. Transmission range between sensor array and display console could reach a distance of
150m (or 450 feet) at line of sight, providing there are no interfering obstacles in between or nearby such as trees, towers, or high voltage line. Check the reception signal quality to ensure good reception. 5. Household appliance such as fridge, lighting, dimmers may pose Electro-magnetic interference (EMI), while Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from devices operating in the same frequency range may cause signal intermittent. Choose a location at least 1-2 meter (3-5 feet) away from these interference sources to ensure best reception.

3.3 RECOMMENDATION FOR BEST WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
Effective wireless communication is susceptible to noise interference in the environment, and distance and barriers between the sensor transmitter and the display console.

1. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) ­ these may be generated by machinery, appliances, lighting, dimmers and computers, etc. So please keep your display console 1 or 2 meters away from these items.
2. Radio-frequency interference (RFI) ­ if you have other devices operating on 868 MHz, you might experience communication intermittent. Please re-located your transmitter or display console to avoid signal intermittent problem.
3. Distance. Path loss occurs naturally with distance. This device is rated to 150m (450 feet) by line of sight (in interference free environment and without barriers). However, typically you will get 30m (100 feet) maximum in real life installation, which includes passing through barriers.
4. Barriers. Radio signal are blocked by metal barriers such as aluminum cladding. Please align the sensor array and display console to get them in clear line of sight through window if you have metal cladding.

BAROMETRIC PRESSURE

The atmospheric pressure is the pressure at any location of the earth caused by the weight of the column of air above it. One atmospheric pressure refers to the average pressure and gradually decreases as altitude increases. Meteorologists use barometers to measure atmospheric pressure. Because absolute atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, meteorologist correct the pressure relative to sea-level conditions. Hence, your ABS pressure may read 1000 hPa at altitude of 300m, but the REL pressure is 1013 hPa.

To obtain accurate REL pressure for your area, consult your local official observatory or check weather website on Internet for real time barometer conditions, and then adjust the relative
pressure in SETUP (section 6.4.1) 62
