Use a small cross-head screwdriver (excl.) to rotate the small screw and
fix the wind catcher onto the axle.
Finally, blow against one of the wind catcher cups to check whether the
wind catcher can rotate smoothly.
Wind direction:
Attention: Both the axle for the weather vane and the
weather vane itself are flattened at one end. This ensures
that the vane can slide over the axle in only one way.
Please keep this in mind during the installation.
First check whether the small screw of the weather vane is rotated out-
ward far enough and then push the vane over the axle on the outdoor
unit. Pay attention to the flattened side!
Adequately push in the weather vane, but never force it!

Power supply:
The sensors in the outdoor unit are powered by a built-in 'super cap',
which is a type or rechargeable battery.
This super cap is charged by the solar panel on top of the outdoor unit.
As a backup, in case the super cap is not properly charged, you must
install 2 AA 1.5V batteries into the outdoor unit (not incl.).
Because regular Alkaline bat-
teries perform poorly or not at
all at temperatures around or
below 0°C, we don't recom-
mend using standard Alkaline
batteries for the outdoor unit.
This is why we recommend
inserting Lithium batteries
into the outdoor unit, because
these are developed for
functioning within a tempera-
ture range of -20°C to 60°C.
These batteries can be ordered from the customer service department
of Alecto via telephone number 073 6411 355 (Netherlands) or 03 238
5666 (Belgium) or via internet www.alecto.nl.
Lithium batteries with a capacity of 2900mAh have a life span of at least
one year.
Positioning the outdoor unit:
Refer to the images below and fix the U-shaped cable ends to the out-
door unit, place the outdoor unit over the pole (not incl.) and fasten the
nuts. Your weather station is now ready for use.
