Please Note: The solar panel feature has been designed to only power the unit during the day. The batteries
are required for night time operation. This means the solar panel doesn’t actually charge the sensor
batteries. We recommend using three non-rechargeable alkaline LR6 (AA) batteries.

Multi-combination Wireless Remote Sensor:
• Mount the sensor module array in an open area clear for 15m in all
directions.
• The sensor needs to be mounted on a sturdy platform or bracket that
is xed 1.5m above the ground.
• The base of the sensor is screwed to the platform and the support
frame. Tighten the large nut that secures the support rod to the base.
• FOR NORTHERN HEMISPHERE - Pay attention to the “N” north
point marker and arrow relief on the top of the sensor, next to the spirit
level bubble. This array has been designed for northern hemisphere
operations as default. The adjacent diagrams describe the northern
hemisphere orientation.
• FOR SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE - make sure this ‘N’ arrow marker
is pointing SOUTH, which is a reversal of the directions shown in the
diagrams! (Use a compass, including a smart phone app, to ensure the
correct orientation.) The sensor is reorientated to point south so that
the solar panel onthe array faces north to catch the sunlight. Otherwise
the solar panel may not power the measuring devices properly.
Moreover, if the sensor arrow points ‘N’ in the southern hemisphere,
then the wind direction measurements will be the opposite of what
they should be.
• Use the top bubble level to install the sensor so that the module is
aligned vertically and horizontally. Otherwise the accuracy of the rainfall
reading will be affected.
• After properly and precisely aligning the sensor, lock the two
hexagon socket screws on the side of the sensor body.
• The xing screws of the wind cup (anemometer) and the wind
direction cursor (weather vane) should be tightened.
• Clean the sensor regularly. The recommended cycle is every
1-3 months, depending on how often it rains.

Explanation of network weather forecast:
• After the weather station is connected to the Wi-Fi network, the weather station data will be automatically updated
every hour after the weather forecast information is obtained from the network.
• The weather station automatically downloads real-time weather data from the network, weather forecasts for the day
and the next four days, and forecasts for the highest and lowest temperatures.
• The weather station automatically uploads the meteorological data (temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed,
rainfall, etc.) from the weather station to the server, and the APP can automatically download that data from the server
through the network.
• Weather forecast icons that can appear on the base station screen:

X 7063 Wi-Fi Home Weather Station

Weather forecast:
• When the weather station is unable to connect to Wi-Fi, the weather station will predict the weather for the next
12 hours based on the air pressure trend. Of course, this prediction cannot be compared to professional weather
services supported by satellites and high-performance computers, and it can only provide an approximate indication
of local weather development.
• The weather station needs 7-10 days of air pressure calibration. After that, the weather forecast will tend to be stable
with an accuracy rate of 70%-75%.
• The weather base station screen can display the following weather icons:
Notes:
• Snowy icon will only appear if the outdoor temperature (refers to the temperature detected by multiple
combined sensors) is below -4°C (+25°F) and the forecast would be rainy or thunder rainy.
• Gale icon will only appear if the wind speed is above 50KM/H and the forecast would be Sunny or Mostly Cloudy
or Cloudy.
• Storm icon will only appear if the wind speed is above 50KM/H and the forecast would be Rainy or Thunder Rain.
• Snowstorm icon will only appear if the outdoor temperature (refers to the temperature detected by multiple
combined sensors) is below -4°C (+25°F) and the wind speed is above 50 KM / H and the forecast would be Rainy
or Thunder Rainy.
Base Station Screen Back-Light:
• If the product is powered by batteries, touch the button. The back-light will stay lit for 15 seconds.
• When the station is plugged in using the included USB charger the back-light will always be on.
• Press the button to adjust the brightness of the back-light, of which there are 3 different brightness levels.
Note: The back-light will switch off to prevent interference during channel data reception.
Base Station Low battery:
• If the “Indoor sensor” section on the screen shows the low battery icon , then you need to replace the weather
station’s batteries as soon as possible
