SECTION 2 INSTALLATION The WMR918 operates at 433MB; No wire installation is required among units. The WMR918 has an effective range of 100 meters. Position the units within the range and be sure the transmission path is clear ofintert‘erenoe and obstacles. Note the anemometer. therom—hygometer and rain guage should be installed outdoors and in locations that best measure the weather elements the instruments are designed for. (Illustration: an artist's perception] THE AN EMOMETER The anemometer measures wind speed and direction It should be placed outdoors. To install it‘ 1. Mount the anemometer and its solar msmitter safely in place. Be sure the anemometer faces south. [Illustration] 2. Align the marks on the shafi of the wind vane.
