1. Site Assessment and Planning: Before you begin, conduct a thorough site assessment. Identify the optimal locations for the central unit and each sensor based on the type of monitoring required (e.g., temperature, humidity, vibration, pressure). Consider factors like power availability, network connectivity (Wi-Fi or Ethernet), and environmental conditions (temperature extremes, humidity, potential obstructions). Sketch a diagram of your planned installation, noting the placement of each component and the cable routing. This will help prevent errors and save time during the installation process.

2. Mounting the Central Unit: The Weston Monitoring System central unit typically requires a secure and stable mounting location. Ensure the surface is capable of supporting the unit's weight and that the chosen location allows for easy access to the unit's ports and controls. Use the provided mounting brackets and screws to securely attach the unit to the wall or other designated surface. Refer to the included hardware specifications for appropriate screw types and sizes.

3. Sensor Placement and Cabling: Precise sensor placement is crucial for accurate readings. Consult the individual sensor specifications for optimal placement guidelines. For example, temperature sensors should be placed away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Humidity sensors should be placed away from ventilation or air conditioning vents. Once you've determined the optimal location for each sensor, carefully run the cables to the central unit, ensuring that the cables are routed neatly and securely to prevent damage or interference.

4. Connecting the Sensors: Connect each sensor to the central unit according to the clearly labeled ports. Ensure that the connections are secure and that there are no loose wires. Consult the wiring diagram included in the system's documentation. Mismatched connections can lead to inaccurate readings or system malfunction. Take pictures of each connection as a reference point.

5. Powering On and Network Configuration: Connect the power supply to the central unit and the power outlet. Turn on the system. The central unit will typically have a display screen or indicators to confirm power and network connectivity. Configure the network settings following the instructions provided in the user manual. This usually involves connecting the system to your local network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable. You may need to assign an IP address and configure other network parameters.

6. System Testing and Calibration: Once the system is powered on and connected to the network, run a series of tests to ensure that all sensors are functioning correctly. Compare the readings to known values or to readings from other calibrated instruments. If necessary, calibrate the sensors according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This is crucial for maintaining the accuracy and reliability of your monitoring system.
