The screw on the anemometer tower (below the wind cups) is an access point for oil, to lubricate the anemometer shaft. I use light synthetic clock oil. Just a couple of drops.
You should coat some vaseline around the pipe below the station to prevent spiders crawling up and making cobwebs. They can't climb up vaseline. Great trick for security cameras too
High quality Lithium batteries are good for temps. -4F/-20C to + 158F.+70C. Anything above that -4F/-20C, a good (name brand) Alkaline battery is all you need. Which is good for the same +158F/+70C. They last a long, long time, over a year. Thanks for the video.
I guess this is about like the currenT model. I don’t know anything about he Smarthub thing. I read the Weather underground’s link is discontinued but don’t think I need it. I would imagine using a 10 ft pole to simply maintenance but I couldn’t see the bubble level (it is a matter of leveling the pole). Hope this is still monitored. 😎From Fla.
galvanized pipe+outdoor= Lightning! unless you're connected a lightning rod and grounded that pipe I would stay with a PVC pipe attached to it otherwise you're just asking for lightning to come through that pipe and whatever structure it's attached too.
Hello, Can you give me some help, I do not understand. The Power Adapter for smartHUB, what is the input voltage? 120v or 120-240v? Because I'm from Portugal and I'm afraid the Power Adapter does not work here and I have to buy another if that does not work. Thank you very much
+Gonçalo Gil 100-240v 60/50hz on the wall plug, the hub itself runs off 5v (adapted from the wall plug). Wall plug is a two prong plug you would find in any USA household.
