Appendix 1 - Southern Hemisphere Wind Direction
Recalibration
This weather station can be used in
both
the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
The cardinal directions (N, S, E, W) moulded on the body of the outdoor sensor are indicators for the
Northern Hemisphere only.
For Southern Hemisphere installations, ignore these and face the solar
panel to the North when it comes to installing the outdoor sensor.
Wind Direction Recalibration
The following procedure is a recalibration guide for the Southern Hemisphere.
Step 1:
Attach the wind vane to the outdoor sensor as described in 3.3.1. Note, the wind vane and
the shaft have a flat side and must be lined up together.
Step 2:
Insert the batteries in the battery compartment as described in 3.3.3.
Step 3:
Align the wind vane pointer with the ‘S’ marker on the moulded body of the outdoor
sensor. Use sticky tape or similar to prevent movement.
