SmartLine SLW1 Installation And Operating Instructions
SLW1 On-Site Weather Station Installation
1. Decide on a good mounting location
for your SLW1 weather station. The
mounting location should be one that
is not affected by a heat source such
as an air conditioner, hot roof, attic
vent, etc. Mount in an area with
unobstructed airflow. Mounting is
acceptable in both direct sunlight and
shade; however, the location must
have open access to rainfall
(cannot be covered by any
overhead obstructions such
as trees, roofs, etc.). Finally,
the SLW1 weather station
must be installed in a
vertical position. The SLW1 weather station is supplied with
35 feet of 2 conductor, 20 AWG cable with UV stabilized
jacket. The SLW1 cable may be extended using any cable
meeting the above specifications. If the cable is routed
underground, a suitable direct burial cable must be used.
Wire splices must be water-tight.
Note: Maximum controller to weather station distance
is 200 feet. For installations requiring greater
distance, use the SLW15 or SLW10 weather
stations.
2. Option A: Surface Mount
Attach mounting bracket
to any flat siding or wood
surface with the included
screws. For other surfaces
such as brick, use an
appropriate anchor to
secure the bracket.
Option B: Gutter Mount
Place the mounting bracket over
an outside edge of the gutter, and
secure with the included wing
screw. For gutters with debris
screens installed, use Option A to
secure the mounting bracket to the
gutter.
SLW1 Weather Station
Installation and Operating Instructions
Tighten both wing nuts
of the extension arm,
and make sure the
SLW1 weather station
is fixed in a vertical
position.
Route the cable back to
the controller making
sure the cable is
properly secured. Do not allow the cable any movement
due to wind and avoid routing through areas where it
could be snagged or damaged. Take care not to puncture
or pinch the cable with mounting hardware. Cable clamps
are recommended.
Connect the SLW1 Weather Station to the SmartLine
controller
Install the SLHUB1 communication hub inside the
SmartLine controller and secure with the supplied screw.
Be careful not to bend the connecting pins.
Note: The SLHUB1 is the only hub that will work with
the SLW1. Do NOT use other hub models.
Route the communications cable to the SLHUB1 as shown.
Cut the cable to length (at the controller end) and strip
the outer jacket to expose the RED and BLACK wires.
