3.2 Thermo-Hygrometer Sensor Set Up
Note: To avoid operating problems, please take note of
battery polarity before/when inserting any batteries
(the unit could be permanently damaged incorrect
insertion). Do not use rechargeable batteries. We
recommend fresh alkaline batteries for miler outdoor
temperature ranges and fresh lithium batteries for
colder outdoor temperatures.

Aercus Instruments™ - WeatherSpy 9 | P a g e
1. lace the transmitter about 2 to 3m away from the
console. With multiple transmitters, make sure all
transmitters are powered up.
2. Remove the battery door on the back of the
thermo-hygrometer sensor by sliding down the
battery door.

3. BEFORE inserting the batteries, locate the
switches on the inside cover of the lid of the
transmitter (see figure 4).
4. Channel Number: the WeatherSpy supports up to
three sensors. Choose a channel number for each
transmitter by, sliding the button.
5. Temperature units of measure: To change the
sensor display units of measure between °C and °F,
press the round button marked C/F.
6. Insert two AA batteries
7. Wait for a few seconds until temperature and
humidity displayed on the LCD screen of sensors.
8. Verify the correct channel number (CH) and
temperature units of measure are on the display,
as shown in Figure 5.

3.3 Sensor Operation Verification
Each temperature and humidity sensor will read similar
but not necessarily identical values.
Temperature readings should be within 2°C of each
other (the accuracy is ± 1°C). Allow about 30 minutes
for all sensors to stabilise.
The humidity readings should be 10% of each other (the
accuracy is ± 5%). Allow about 30 minutes for all sensors
to stabilise.
3. Radio-Controlled Clock
Note: Only supported in the 868MHz version, within
range of the DCC signal.
After the remote sensor is powered up, the sensor will
transmit weather data for 30 seconds, and then the
sensor will begin waiting for radio-controlled clock (RCC)
reception. During this period, lasting up to five minutes,
no weather data will be transmitted to avoid
interference. Once received successfully, the RCC
reception icon will show on the outdoor sensor
LCD display.

Aercus Instruments™ - WeatherSpy 13 | P a g e
The outdoor sensor then sends the RCC signal to display
console, Once the radio controlled time is received, RCC
reception icon will show on the display console.
If the signal reception linking is not successful within five
minutes, the signal search will stop and will
automatically resume every six hours until the signal is
successfully captured. The regular data link will resume
once the RCC reception routine is finished. In some
locations, RCC signal may take a couple of days to be
acquired.
3.5 Remote Sensor Installation
Before mount the units, ensuring that the receiver can
still pick up the signal from transmitters. lease mount
the sensors in a sheltered position, out of direct
sunlight. Direct sunlight and radiant heat sources will
result in inaccurate temperature readings. Although the
sensors are water resistant, it is best to mount in a
covered area, such as under the eaves or an awning.
Use a screw or nail to affix the remote sensor to the wall,
as shown in Figure 6 or hang the remote sensor up on
string, as shown in Figure 7.

3.6 Display Console Set Up
lace the remote thermo-hygrometer about 2 to 3
meters away from the display console (if the sensor is
too close, it may not be received by the display console).
1. 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. ress the LIGHT/SNOOZE key can adjust

among HIGH/MIDDLE/OFF level according to your
preference.
2. Remove the battery door on the back of the display.
Insert three AAA (alkaline or lithium, avoid
rechargeable) batteries in the back of the display
console.
Note: To avoid permanent damage, please take
note of the battery polarity before inserting the
batteries.
3. Replace the battery door and fold out the desk
stand and place the console in the upright position.
Note: The batteries are intended for back-up power
only. The backlight will remain on for 5 seconds
when on battery power only. For continuous
backlight you need to use the power adapter.
4. The console will instantly display indoor
temperature, humidity, barometer, moon phase,
date, and time. The remote search icon will turn on:
