3.3.1 Insert batteries into the transmitter. Locate the battery door on the transmitter, push and open the battery compartment, as show in Figure 3. Figure 3 Remove the battery door on the back of the sensor by removing the set screw, as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4 Inserting 3xAA batteries in the battery compartment, as show in Figure 5.
Figure 5 Close the battery door. Make sure the gasket (around the battery compartment) is properly seated in its trace prior to closing the door. Tighten the set screw. Note: Do not install the batteries backwards. You can permanently damage the sensors. The solar panel does not charge the batteries, so rechargeable batteries are not needed or recommended. Note: We recommend installing Lithium AA batteries for sensors.
Figure 6 3.3.2Insert batteries into the thermo-hygrometer transmitter. Remove the battery door on the back of the sensor by removing the set screw, as shown in Figure 7. Figure 7 1. BEFORE inserting the batteries, locate the dip switches on the inside cover of the lid of the transmitter. Figure 8 displays all four switches in the OFF position (factory default setting).

consumption and extend the service life. Note: The sensor array must be powered and updating before powering up the console, or the console will time out searching for the sensors. Power the console last. Make certain the weather station sensor array is at least 3m away from the console and within 30m of the console. If the weather station is too close or too far away, it may not receive a proper signal.
If it does not update, please reference the troubleshooting guide in Section 18. Note: The power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mounted position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet. Figure 12 Note: If the power adapter is plugged in, BL ON will display in the time area for three seconds when powered up.
functions, insure proper operation, and familiarize you with the weather station and calibration procedures. This will also allow you to test the wireless range of the weather station. 4.2 Site Survey Perform a site survey before installing the weather station. Consider the following: 1. You must clean the rain gauge once per year and change the batteries every two years. Provide easy access to the weather station. 2. Avoid radiant heat transfer from buildings and structures.
5.Final Installation of Sensors Integrated outdoor transmitter installation. Professional Wireless Weather Station can be used in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Prior to installation, you will need to calibrate the wind direction. 5.1. Northern Hemispheres (NOR). The cardinal directions (N, S, E, W) molded on the body of the outdoor sensor are indicators for the Northern Hemisphere only. Step 1:There is a “S” indicator on the wind vane that indicates South, as shown in Figure 13.
Figure 13 5.2. Southern Hemispheres (SOU). For Southern Hemisphere installations, ignore these(N, S, E, W) and face the solar panel to the North (and in a sunny position) when it comes to installing the Integrated outdoor transmitter. Step 1: Install the Integrated outdoor transmitter and face the solar panel North. Step 2: Console operation is set to Southern Hemispheres ( SOU in the time area) in Location division.
Figure 15 .Thermo-hygrometer Transmitter installation. It is recommended you mount the Thermo-hygrometer sensor outside in a shaded area. A north facing wall is preferred because it is in the shade most of the day. Direct sunlight and radiant heat sources will result in inaccurate temperature readings.
mount in a well protected area, such as under an eve. Use a screw or nail (not included) to affix the remote sensor to the wall, as shown in Figure 16. Figure 16 6.Low Battery Icon A low battery indicator icon is shown in the display window for thermo-hygrometer sensor. When the low battery icon appears (the battery voltage is lower than 2.4V), replace the batteries in the sensor with fresh batteries.

15. Other Console Features The following section describes additional features and display icons. 15.1 Weather Forecasting Note: The weather forecast or pressure tendency is based on the rate of change of barometric pressure. In general, when the pressure increases, the weather improves (sunny to partly cloudy) and when the pressure decreases, the weather degrades (cloudy to rain).
15.4 Feels Like Temperature and AT Feels like temperature is a combination of Heat Index and Wind Chill. At temperatures less than 4.4C(40°F), the wind chill is displayed, as shown in the National Weather Service Wind Chill Table below: Figure 17 At temperatures greater than 26.
Figure 18 When the temperature is between 4.4C (40°F) and 26.7C (80°F), the OUT temperature is displayed (Feels Like temperature is the same as OUT temperature). The concept of apparent temperature (AT) is a linear regression that is not restricted, and is more appropriate to outside conditions because it includes wind.
