Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Wireless Weather Station. The weather station consists of a main console unit as well as an assortment of remote sensors which collect and transmit a wide range of weather data, including outdoor temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, rain amount and rain rate. With 868 Mhz technology, you will experience a great wireless range and high reliability.

Contents of Complete Weather Station Kit Before installing your weather station, please check that the following items are complete: Hardware Components Fittings Main Console Unit AC/DC 7.
Anemometer (Wind Sensor): -Wind Cups -Wind Vane - Anemometer arm - Anemometer base 4 screws for securing unit to vertical surface 8
Installing your weather station Setting up the Remote Weather Sensors To pair the remote sensors with the main console unit, first connect the AC/DC adaptor with the main console and press the ‘ON’ button to power up. Keep the sensors nearby. The procedure for pairing a sensor to the main console is as follows: 1. Press the ‘link’ button on the main console 2. Insert the required batteries into the sensor (within 30 seconds of pressing ‘link’). 3.
placing the console unit in the following areas: • Direct sunlight and surfaces which radiate and emit heat. • Near heating and ventilation devices, such as heating ducts or air conditioners. • Areas with interference from wireless devices (such as cordless phones, radio headsets, baby listening devices) and electronic appliances. Setting up the Thermo-Hygro Sensor(s) 1. 2. 3. 4. Open the latch at the base of the thermo-hygro sensor. Press the ‘link’ button on the main console. Insert 2 x “AA” size 1.
5. Place the rain sensor in a location such that precipitation can fall directly into the sensor, ideally 2-3 ft above the ground. 6. It may be secured into place by using the four screws provided. 7. The sensor must be accurately level for optimum performance. To check if the sensor is level, remove the lid and check if the ball bearing inside is at the midpoint of the leveler. Additionally, a bubble level or carpenter’s level may be used. 8. Attach the protective screen onto the top of the lid.
The wind direction measurement is calibrated in the factory. If you find the wind direction to be inaccurate, it is possible to calibrate the wind meter with the following procedure: a. Insert the batteries b. Point the wind vane towards the north. Use a compass or map if necessary. c. Use a pin to press the “SET” key which is in the battery compartment of the wind sensor.

Maintenance Changing Batteries The battery statuses of the sensors are checked every hour. If the low battery indicators light up, replace the batteries for the corresponding unit immediately. Changing Batteries for the Remote Sensors 1. Replace the batteries following the setup instructions for the corresponding sensor. 2. When the batteries are properly installed, the sensor will resume sending signals to the main console unit.
Troubleshooting “The display shows “0.00” for weather parameter(s)” The display will show “0.00” when the wireless link is lost with the remote sensor. Check or replace the batteries for the corresponding sensor. If the above does not solve the problem, check the wireless transmission path from the corresponding sensor to the main console unit and change their locations if necessary.
4. Do not tamper with the unit's internal components. Doing so will invalidate the warranty on the unit and may cause unnecessary damage. The unit contains no user-serviceable parts. 5. Only use fresh batteries as specified in the user's manual. Do not mix new and old batteries as the old ones may leak. 6. Always read the user's manual thoroughly before operating the unit.
