Insert the power adapter into the power jack of the console, and plug in the adapter. The LCD display will beep once and then light up. The brightness selection is set to high when plugged into the adapter. 2.

Receiver Model : WH2802 Sensor Model : WH32G 3.6 Sensor Placement It is recommended you mount the remote sensor outside on a north facing wall, in a shaded area, at a height at or above the receiver. If a north facing wall is not possible, choose a shaded area, under an eve. Direct sunlight and radiant heat sources will result in inaccurate temperature readings. Although the sensor is weatherproof, it is best to mount in a well-protected area, such as an eve. 1.

The following is a table of reception loss vs. the transmission medium. Each “wall” or obstruction decreases the transmission range by the factor shown below.

Note: The display console displays two different pressures: absolute (measured) and relative (corrected to sea-level). To compare pressure conditions from one location to another, meteorologists correct pressure to sea-level conditions.

Receiver Model : WH2802 Sensor Model : WH32G 4.7.3 Weather Forecasting Description and Limitations In general, if the rate of change of pressure increases, the weather is generally improving (sunny to partly cloudy). If the rate of change of pressure decreases, the weather is generally degrading (cloudy, rainy or stormy). If the rate of change is relatively steady, it will read partly cloudy.

Receiver Model : WH2802 Sensor Model : WH32G 5 Glossary of Terms Term Definition Accuracy Accuracy is defined as the ability of a measurement to match the actual value of the quantity being measured. Hygrometer A hygrometer is a device that measures relative humidity. Relative humidity is a term used to describe the amount or percentage of water vapor that exists in air. Range Range is defined as the amount or extent a value can be measured.

Receiver Model : WH2802 Sensor Model : WH32G Problem Solution Make sure the remote sensor LCD display is working on both the console and the remote sensor. Install a fresh set of batteries in the remote thermo-hygrometer. For cold weather environments, install lithium batteries. Make sure the remote sensors are not transmitting through solid metal (acts as an RF shield), or earth barrier (down a hill).
