III. PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION
Please take a few minutes to plan the installation of your home
weather station. You'll help assure your long term satisfaction
with the installation and almost certainly save time and effort in the
process.
It may be helpful to remember that the cable lengths are:
Wind Sensor: 40 feet
Temperature Sensor: 25 feet
Rain Gauge (Optional): 40 feet Junction Box Cable: 8 feet
AC Adapter Cord: 6 feet
Indoor Humidity Sensor: 15 feet
Outdoor Humidity/Temperature Sensor: 40 feet
First you must decide where each system component is to be
installed. We suggest that you determine the optimum location of
the prime components in the order shown below.
Control Unit Location
- The primary considerations in
placement of the Keyboard/Display unit are: which room it
should go in, and should it be wall mounted or desk mounted.
Room Selection
- in which room will the data be most useful (e.g. bedroom,
kitchen, hallway near hall closet, solarium, etc.);
- in which room will the most people be able to enjoy and use
the data (e.g. living room or family room);
- other factors being equal, which room will make for easiest
wiring.
Wall Mount Advantages
- better visibility from most of the room;
- wiring can often be completely concealed -- may offer
shorter wire runs to outside sensors, possibly avoiding the
need for extension cables.
Desk Mount Advantages
- convenient access to keyboard;
- optimum visibility from desk chair;
- short wire length for future computer connection.
