Figure 2 3.3.1 Insert batteries into the transmitter.
Figure 3 Remove the battery cover 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 cover. Make sure the gasket (around the battery compartment) is properly seated in its place 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.

It is recomme r ended to plug in the t poweer supplyy to reducce the ba attery consu umption and exteend the seervice liffe. Noote: The senssor array must be poweredd and updatingg before pow wering up the cconsole, or th he consolee will time ouut searching for fo the sensorss. Power the console c last. m away from the t console aand within Make certain the weeather station sensor array is at least 3m oo far away, itt may not recceive a properr signal. 30m off the console.
Figure 12 1: Fold out the desk stand and see DC jack on the left ; as shown in Figure 13 Figure 13 2: Insert the DC plug correctly ; as shown in Figure 14 Figure 14 3: If you want to put it on a table or cabinet, opened the desk stand and turn the DC plug up until 90 degrees; as shown in Figure 15 8
Figure 15 4: If you want to hang on the wall, turn the DC plug down until 0 degrees and closed the desk stand; as shown in Figure 16 Figure 16 Note: If the power adapter is not plugged in, the icon will display . 3.4.2 Sensor Operation Verification The following steps verify proper operation of the sensors prior to installing the sensor array. 1. Verify proper operation of the rain gauge. Tip the sensor array back and forth several times. You should hear a “clicking”sound within the rain gauge.
4.Weather Station Installation 4.1Pre Installation Check. Before installing your weather station in the permanent location, we recommend operating the weather station for one week in a temporary location with easy access. This will allow you to check out all of the 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.
Brick 10-40% Concrete 40-80% Metal 90-100% 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.
Southern Hemispheres 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 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 14 Tighten the mounting pole to your existing mounting pole with the four￠5 Bolts and M5 Nuts assembly, or fix on the wall with four tapping screw, as shown in Figure15.
Figure 15 6.Low Battery Icon A low battery indicator icon is shown in the display window for Integrated outdoor transmitter. When the low battery icon appears (the battery voltage is lower than 3.6V), replace the batteries in the sensor with fresh batteries. Be sure to never mix old and new batteries, and never mix battery types such as alkaline and lithium together. 7.
1.Time, Date and Year. Press the CHANNEL/+ or MIN/MAX/- key to toggle between time, date and year. 2.Indoor Temperature. Press the CHANNEL/+ or MIN/MAX/- key to toggle between out/indoor for temperature and humidity alarm on/off view 3.Rainfall. Press the CHANNEL/+ or MIN/MAX/- key to toggle between rate, 24h, week, month and total. To clear the total rain, press the CHANNEL/+ or MIN/MAX/- button until total rain is displayed. The total rain will flash.
12. Pressure Threshold Setting (default level 2). Press the SET(MODE) key again to change the pressure threshold. Press the [+] key or [-] key to change pressure threshold 2 mbar/hour to 4 mbar/hour.(For detailed information of this part please refer to 9.5) 13. Weather Icons Setting (default: partly cloudy). Press the SET key again to change the initial weather icon. Press the [+] key or [-] key to select the initial weather icon of Sunny, Cloudy, Partly Cloudy or Rainy.
five minute. press any key (MIN/MAX/+ ,SET, ALARM,CHANNEL/+) to permanently exit the Snooze mode. 7.7 Back light Mode If the LED is off, Press the SNOOZE button once. The backlight will turn on for five seconds, and if no operation is performed for three seconds, the backlight will turn off. The backlight operation is different when operating on batteries to save power. ADJUSTABLE BACKLIGHT BRIGHTNESS There are 3 levels of brightness of backlight.
Press ALARM key again to view the LOW alarms along with the alarm clock time the same way HI alarms. Press the SNOOZE key at any time to return to the normal mode. 8.3 Setting the Alarms Press ALARM key to enter the alarm mode. Press and hold the SET key for three seconds. The first alarm parameter will begin flashing (alarm hour). To save the alarm setting and proceed to the next alarm parameter, Press (do not hold) the SET key.
Note: To prevent repetitive alarming of humidity, there is a 4% tolerance band in humidity alarm. For example, if you set the high alarm to 60% and silence the alarm, the alarm icon will continue to flash until the humidity falls below 56%, at which point, the alarm will reset and must increase above 60% to activate again. 9. Other Console Features The following section describes additional features and display icons. 9.
9.4 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 26.7C(80°F), the heat index is displayed, as shown in the National Weather Service Heat Index Table below: Figure 18 When the temperature is between 4.4C (40°F) and 26.
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. and was intended as an assessment of what exposed body surfaces feel like in cold, windy conditions Regression equations of this universal scale are formulated for indoors, outdoors in shade but exposed to wind, and outdoors exposed to wind and solar radiation. Of these, outdoors in shade but exposed to wind, has been chosen as most informative. 9.

If any of the sensor communication is lost, dashes (--.-) will be displayed on the screen. To reacquire the signal, press and hold the CHANNEL/+ button for 3 seconds, and the remote search icon will be constantly displayed.
Problem Solution Indoor and Outdoor Temperature do not agree Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize due to signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor temperature sensors should agree within 2 °C (the sensor accuracy is ± 1 °C). Use the calibration feature to match the indoor and outdoor temperature to a known source. Indoor and Outdoor Humidity do not agree Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize due to signal filtering.
