3. Guia de configuració

3.1 Instal·lació de la bateria

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

• Consola de pantalla: Requires 4 x AA batteries.
• Wireless Thermo-Hygrometer: Requereix 2 piles AAA.
• Rain Gauge Sensor: Requereix 4 piles AAA.
• Anemòmetre: Requires 4 x AAA batteries. The anemometer also features a solar panel for extended battery life.

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

3.2 Col·locació del sensor

Optimal sensor placement is crucial for accurate readings.

• Termohigròmetre: 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.
• Pluviòmetre: Install on a level surface, away from obstructions like trees or buildings that could block rainfall. Ensure easy access for periodic cleaning.
• Anemòmetre: 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.

4.3 Customizing the Display

• Color de la llum de fons: The backlight color can change automatically based on outdoor temperature or be manually adjusted through the settings menu. Refer to the console's specific settings for detailed instructions.
• Unitats: Temperature (Celsius/Fahrenheit), wind speed (mph, km/h, m/s), and rainfall (inches/mm) units can be configured in the setup menu.
• Calibració: The console allows for calibration of certain parameters to match local conditions or other reference instruments. This feature is accessed via the SET menu.

5. Manteniment

• Substitució de la bateria: Replace batteries in all sensors and the display console annually, or when low battery indicators appear. Use high-quality alkaline batteries.
• Neteja del sensor:
  • Pluviòmetre: Periodically check and clean the rain gauge funnel and tipping bucket mechanism to prevent debris (leaves, insects) from obstructing accurate rainfall measurement.
  • Anemòmetre: Ensure the wind cups and wind vane rotate freely. Remove any obstructions. The solar panel should be kept clean for efficient charging.
  • Termohigròmetre: Keep the sensor housing free of dust and spiderwebs.
• Actualitzacions de firmware: Check the Ambient Weather weblloc web per obtenir actualitzacions de firmware disponibles per al vostre model.
