Figure 2 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.
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 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.
Note: We recommend installing Lithium AA batteries for sensors. The sensor LED indicator will light for 3 seconds, and then flash once per 16 seconds thereafter. Each time it flashes, the sensor is transmitting data. Place the battery cover and push it to close the compartment. Note: If the sensor does not power up after inserting the batteries, press the reset button shown in Figure 6. Figure 6 3.4 Display Console 3.4.

Figure 8 Replace the battery door, and fold out the desk stand and place the console in the upright position. The unit will instantly display indoor temperature, humidity, pressure, tendency, moon phase, and time. The wind speed, wind gust, wind direction, rain, outdoor temperature and humidity will update on the display within a few minutes. Do not Press any menu buttons until the outside transmitter report in, otherwise the outdoor sensor search mode will be terminated.
Figure 10 2: Insert the DC plug correctly ; as shown in Figure 11 Figure 11 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 12 Figure 12 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 13 8
Figure 13 Note: If the power adapter is plugged in, BL ON will display in the time area for three seconds when powered up. Conversely, if the power adapter is not plugged in, BL OFF will be displayed. 3.4.2Sensor 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.
2. Avoid radiant heat transfer from buildings and structures. In general, install the sensor arrayat least 5’ from any building, structure, ground, or roof top. 3. Avoid wind and rain obstructions. The rule of thumb is to install the sensor array at least four times the distance of the height of the tallest obstruction. For example, if the building is 6m tall, install 4 x 6m = 24m away. Use common sense. If the weather station is installed next to a tall building, the wind and rain will not be accurate. 4.
Step 1:There is a “S” indicator on the wind vane that indicates South, as shown in Figure 14. Align this “S” marker in the direction of South. Step 2: Console operation is set to Northern Hemispheres ( NORin the time area) in Location division. Note: There are four alphabet letter of “N”,”E”,”S”and “W” around the wind direction, representing for the direction of North, East, South and West. Wind direction sensor has to be adjusted so that the directions on the sensor are matching with your real location.
Note: Console has to be location division setting so that the directions on the sensor are matching with your real location. Permanent wind direction error（read approximately 180º）will be introduced when the wind direction sensor is not positioned correctly during installation.
Figure 16 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.
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. Console Operation Note: The console has five keys for easy operation: SET key and ALARM key on the right side, MIN/MAX/-key, SNOOZE/LIGHT and CHANNEL/+ key on the top. 7.1 Quick Display Mode Note: To exit the Quick Display Mode at any time, press the SNOOZE button of the display console.

14. Other Console Features The following section describes additional features and display icons. 14.1 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).
Rainy Pressure is falling and the previous condition is cloudy. 14.3 Moon Phase The following moon phases are displayed based on the calendar date. Figure 52 14.4 Pressure Threshold Setting The pressure threshold (the negative or positive rate of change of pressure signifying a change in the weather) can be adjusted from 2 mbar/hour to 4 mbar/hour (default level 2 mbar/hour). The lower the level pressure threshold setting, the higher sensitivity for weather forecast changes.
