Warnings
Do not expose the weather sensors to temperatures below -40 °C, or above 100 °C. Do not expose the sensor board directly to water.
Safety Instructions
Use caution when installing the wind vane, cup anemometer and rain gauge, as they are on a metal mast, which may pose a risk of electric shock and lightning exposure. Please make certain that the mast is properly grounded, and is installed away from any power lines.
