Color Wind Speed Graph The wind speed graph with color sections is based on current wind speed. One segment will flash indicating current wind speed. Color Speed Blue Yellow Orange Red 0 - 14 15 - 19 20 - 24 over 25 COLOR WIND SPEED ICON The wind cup icon will spin at varying speeds according to the current speed. Wind Cup Icon Top Wind Speed Number • Highest instantaneous wind speed recorded in the past 60 minutes. • Updates when a higher wind speed has occurred.
PAGE 11
Current Wind Speed The current wind speed which represents a 30 second average of wind speed samples taken. This should correspond to the wind graph above. Wind, Temperature & Humidity Alerts Setting alert value and arming individual alerts are separate functions. Set alert value: 1. Hold the ALERTS button for 3 seconds to enter alert set mode. 2. The high wind speed alert value will blink in set mode. 3. Press the or buttons to adjust the values. 4.

Forecast Information Intelligent Weather Forecast: This station learns: Please allow 7-10 days for barometric calibration. This will ensure an accurate personal forecast for your location. Six animated forecast icons use changing atmospheric pressure to predict weather conditions for the next 12-hours with 70-75% accuracy. Sunny Partly Sunny Cloudy Rainy Stormy Snowy Note: Snowy icon will appear in place of rainy and stormy icons when the outdoor temperature (Channel 1) is below 32°F.
PAGE 14
Setup Add On Temperature/Humidity Sensors The wind station will accommodate up to two additional thermohygro sensors (TX141TH-BCH ) on channels 2 and 3. Note: The TX141W sensor must be on channel 1. Press the button to view sensors on other channels. Setup additional sensors to the wind station: 1 2 3 AA Note: If only one sensor is connected, the other channels will show dashes for temperature and humidity.

Replace Wind Cups 1. Loosen the screw 2. Remove cups 3. Install new cups 4. Tighten screw Note: The screw in the wind cups will fit on the flat side of the metal stem on the sensor. Flat Side Of Stem Up Insert and Attatch Flat End up Position Wind Sensor • For the most accurate wind speed readings, mount the TX141W sensor as the highest object for 50 feet in all directions. • Cups should be on the top of the sensor. Mount vertically.
PAGE 16
Position Add On Sensors • Mount the outdoor sensor on a north-facing wall or in any well shaded area. Under an eave or deck rail is preferred. • The maximum wireless transmission range to the weather station is over 300 feet (91 meters) in open air, not including walls or floors. • Be sure the outdoor sensor is mounted vertically Option 1: • Install one mounting screw into a wall leaving some extended. • Place the transmitter onto the screw. • Gently pull the transmitter down to lock the screw into place.
