LIGHTNING SENSOR
1. Lightning indicator
2. Noise indicator
3. Transmission status LED
4. Wall mounting holder
5. [SENSITIVITY] slide switch to assign the
sensor sensitivity to High / Mid / Low / Default
6. [ RESET ] button
7. Battery compartment
GETTING STARTED
1. Remove the battery door.
2. Slide the [ SENSITIVITY ] slide switch to choose a sensitivity mode.
3. Insert 2 x AA size batteries into the battery compartment according to the polarity
mark on the battery compartment..
4. Close the battery door.
5. After inserting batteries, the transmission status LED will light up 1 sec.
NOTE:
- Once the sensitivity mode is assigned, you can only change it by removing the
batteries or resetting the unit.
- Avoid placing the sensor in direct sunlight, rain or snow.
LED INDICATOR
The ashing mode of lightning indicator and noise indicator means:
Flashing mode Description
Long ash
One lightning strike was detected.
Short ash
Noise signals was detected, reminding the user
that current location has high level noise. Please
nd another location of lower noise level.
SENSITIVITY SLIDE SWITCH
- The sensor is intended to be installed outdoor under sheltered areas away from noise
generated by switches and household appliances that may trigger false lightning.
- Default Setting (DF) is for sensitivity between high and mid levels. If you think the
sensor picked up a lot of false lightning strikes, then please try with sensitivity Mid (MI)
or Low (LO). If the sensor missed lightning detection, you may try with sensitivity High
(HI).
PAIRING THE WIRELESS SENSORS WITH THE CONSOLE
The console will automatically search and connect to your lightning sensor. Once your
sensor pair up successful, the sensor signal strength indication and weather information
will appear on your console display.
NOTE:
Every reading transmission, the transmission status LED will ash at once.
RESET THE SENSOR
In case of mal-function, press [ RESET ] button to reset the sensor.
HOW TO PLACE THE SENSOR
- Choose a location on the exterior of the home where can shield the sensor from direct
sunlight or wet conditions for an accurate reading.
- Minimize obstructions such as doors, walls, furniture, etc.
- Hang it with the wall mount hole or place it directly on at surface, and make sure the
transmission is within 150 meters approx.
