Introduction Thank you for your purchase this professional weather station. The outdoor sensor is solar powered and sends data to the console via a low-power radio. It allows you to upload your weather data to weather website: www.wunderground.com which you can share it with your friend. This manual will guide you step-by-step through setting up your device. Use this manual to become familiar with your professional weather station, and save it for future reference.
Figure 4 3. Install Batteries Locate the battery door on the thermo-hygrometer / rain gauge transmitter, as shown in Figure 5. Turn the set screw counter clockwise to loosen the screw to open the battery compartment. Insert 3XAA rechargeable batteries in the battery compartment The LED indicator on the back of the transmitter will turn on for four seconds and normally flash once every 16 seconds (the sensor transmission update period).
4. Mount outdoor sensor Fasten the mounting pole to your mounting pole or bracket (purchased separately) with the two U-bolts, mounting pole brackets and nuts, as shown in Figure 6. Tighten the mounting pole to your mounting pole with the U-Bolt assembly, as shown in Figure 7.. Figure 6 Figure 7 there are four alphabet letter of “N”,”E”,”S”and “W” representing for the direction of North, East, South and West, as Figure 8.
5. Reset Button and Transmitter LED In the event the ourdoor sensor is not transmitting, reset the outdoor sensor. With an open ended paperclip, press and hold the RESET BUTTON for three seconds to completely discharge the voltage. Take out the batteries and wait one minute, while covering the solar panel to drain the voltage. Put batteries back in and resynchronize with console by powering down and up the console with the sensor about 10 feet away.
Initial Display Console Set Up Connect the power adapter to power up the display console. The display console starts to register the transmitter and receiver the weather data from transmitter. The interface as below: Then it start to scan the Wi-Fi network, if it didn’t found the available Wi-Fi it will shows” not find any AP (Access Point)”. Press key to return to normal display mode. Only after connect to WLAN you can upload the data to weather website.

(2) Humidity is a difficult parameter to measure electronically and drifts over time due to contamination. In addition, location has an adverse affect on humidity readings (installation over dirt vs. lawn for example). Official stations recalibrate or replace humidity sensors on a yearly basis. Due to manufacturing tolerances, the humidity is accurate to ± 5%. To improve this accuracy, the indoor and outdoor humidity can be calibrated using an accurate source, such as a sling psychrometer.
margin of error. Errors can occur due to electronic variation (example, the temperature sensor is a resistive thermal device or RTD, the humidity sensor is a capacitance device), mechanical variation, or degradation (wearing of moving parts, contamination of sensors). Calibration is only useful if you have a known calibrated source you can compare it against, and is optional. This section discusses practices, procedures and sources for sensor calibration to reduce manufacturing and degradation errors.

Step 2: Pour water into the rain collector to moisturize the dirt inside rain bucket. Step 3: Use an approximately 3 inch (80 mm) long cotton swab, and push the cotton tip through the rain collector hole until is reaches the self emptying mechanism, and press until the mechanism no longer rotates. Step 4: Rotate the cotton swab back and forth, removing dirt from the tipping mechanism and rain collector hole. Step 5: Remove the cotton swab and flush with water to remove any remaining dirt.
Problem Solution Put batteries back in and resync with console by powering down and up the console with the sensor array about 10 feet away. Bring the sensor array inside the house (you can disconnect it from the rest of the sensors). The LED next to the battery compartment will flash every 16 seconds. If the LED is not flashing every 16 seconds… Replace the batteries in the outside sensor array. Non-rechargeable batteries are OK for testing purposes.
Problem Solution Port 80. No WiFi connection 1. Check for WiFi signal strength symbol on the display wireless connectivity is successful and reporting to . If Wunderground.com, the WiFi icon will be displayed under the wind chill display on the home page. 2. Make sure your modem WiFi settings are correct (network name, password and security settings).
Indoor sensor Remote sensor : : 2xAAA alkaline batteries (not included) 3xAA rechargeable batteries (included) Remark: Be sure to use 1.5V rechargeable battery for solar transmitter. Where outdoor temperature is lower than -20˚C, make sure proper type of batteries to be used to assure that the device can get enough power to maintain its function properly.
