Indoor Unit; Outdoor Unit - Alecto WS-5500 Mode D'emploi

6. INSTALLATION
6.1

Indoor unit:

General installation and positioning tips:
• Make sure that the surrounding temperature at the indoor unit is not
affected by lights, radiators, doors or windows, draft, etc.
• When suspended: make sure the unit is freely suspended, i.e. not
behind a curtain.
• Make sure that the adaptor wire doesn't create a falling or tripping
risk. Use cable-ties when the wire is too long.
Power supply:
The main power of the indoor unit is provided through the supplied
power adaptor. Insert the low-voltage plug of the adaptor into the
DC5.0V input at the rear of the indoor unit and then connect the adaptor
with a 230V wall socket.
You may install 3x 1.5V AAA batteries as a backup for maintaining the
measured data in case of a possible power outage or for when the
adaptor is disconnected from the wall socket by accident.
1. Open the battery compart-
ment at the rear of the
indoor unit.
2. Insert the first battery and
slide it completely to the left.
3. Insert the second battery
and slide it completely to the
right.
4. Insert the third battery in
between the first 2 batteries.
5. Finally, replace the battery
cover.
Suspended or standing:
You may choose to use the indoor unit standing freely on a cabinet or
desk (for this, fold out the 2 supports at the rear of the indoor unit) or
suspended from a wall (see the suspension keyholes at the rear).
6.2

Outdoor unit:

General installation and positioning tips:
• First check whether the outdoor unit is within range of the indoor unit
before permanently installing the outdoor unit. Maintain a distance
between the outdoor and indoor unit from 50 to 100 meters.
• Make sure to place the outdoor unit at least 1.5 meters from the
ground, positioned freely in the rain and wind.
• To have the rain gauge function as accurate as possible, the outdoor
unit must be placed exactly horizontal. For this you may use the
built-in spirit level on top of the outdoor unit.
• To be able to indicate from which direction the wind is blowing, the
outdoor unit must be aimed to the North. For this, see the North
indication on top of the outdoor unit. Use an accurate compass (not
incl.) to properly orient the unit.
• Make sure that the outdoor unit is suspended or standing freely.
Especially the wind speed gauge and weather vane must be sus-
pended directly into the wind.
• Determine the location with the smallest chance of leaves blowing
into the unit. Leaves blown into the rain collector can block the rain
gauge and affect the measurement results. In any case, we recom-
mend positioning the outdoor unit in such a way that any leaves
blown into the unit can be easily removed and the 2 batteries of the
outdoor unit can be easily replaced.
• You may of course keep the outdoor unit within reach for the first
week to try out all of its functions. After verifying that everything is
working properly, you can then permanently install the outdoor unit.
Wind catcher:
First check whether the small screw of the wind catcher is rotated
outward far enough and then push the wind catcher over the axle on the
outdoor unit. Adequately push in the wind catcher, but never force it!
