Problem Solution from the display console and wait 10 seconds. Put the batteries back in. 3. Do not touch any buttons for several minutes. 4. The remote sensor search icon will splash on the display. Wait several minutes for this icon to turn off. 5. If the search icon turns off and the outdoor temperature and humidity are still showing dashes (--), the remote sensor is defective.
Problem Solution agree due to signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor humidity sensors should agree within 10 % (the sensor accuracy is ± 5 %) 2. Perform a humidity calibration (reference Section 2.1) Relative pressure does not agree with official reporting station 1. You may be viewing the relative pressure, not the absolute pressure. 2. Make sure you properly calibrate the barometer to an official local weather station (reference Section 2.1) 3. The barometer is only accurate to ± 0.
WeatherSmart PC Software User Manual 1.0 General Information The Weather station is a weather monitoring device that achieves displays and records the weather data from internal and external sensors. Besides the indoor temperature, indoor humidity and air pressure measured by internal sensor, it will receive the outdoor temperature and humidity, wind and rainfall. Light & UVI and Heat index transmitted by outdoor sensor as well.
3.0 Basic Settings of the “Weather Smart” Software After the ―WeatherSmart.exe‖ program has been started, the following main window will appear on the PC screen: All the settings from the base unit is mirrored into the PC software, so once you have done your setting on the base unit, then you don’t need to make any setting changes on the PC software.

Click About WeatherSmart button, enters the About menu to check version information, Special Notes about time synchronization between PC and sub-station: The PC software obtained its own time scale through the time interval marker from the base station history data, and the PC software automatically synchronizes the weather data with a time stamp calculated. Thus the history data file can have different time when the PC time and base station time is not same.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. Legal Notes We reserve the right to delete or change any image whether or not purposely uploaded onto the server by a user of the touch screen weather station and the WeatherSmart software products.
