3. Warnings and Cautions

Warning: Any metal object may attract a lightning strike, including your weather station mounting pole.

Never install the weather station in a storm.

Warning: Installing your weather station in a high location may result in injury or death. Perform as much

of the initial check out and operation on the ground and inside a building or home. Only install the weather

station on a clear, dry day.

4. Pre-Installation Checkout and Site Survey

4.1 Pre Installation Checkout

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.

4.2 Site Survey

Perform a site survey before installing the weather station. Consider the following:

1. You must clean the rain gauge every few months and change the rechargeable batteries every 1-2 years.

Provide easy access to the weather station.

2. Avoid radiant heat transfer from buildings and structures. In general, install the sensor array at 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 20’ tall, and the mounting

pole is 6’ tall, install 4 x (20 –6)’ = 56’ away.

4. Wireless Range. The radio communication between receiver and transmitter in an open field can reach a

distance of up to 300 feet, providing there are no interfering obstacles such as buildings, trees, vehicles,

high voltage lines. Wireless signals will not penetrate metal buildings. Under most conditions, the

maximum wireless range is 100’.

5. Radio interference such as PCs, radios or TV sets can, in the worst case, entirely cut off radio

communication. Please take this into consideration when choosing console or mounting locations. Make

sure your display console is at least five feet away from any electronic device to avoid interference.

6Sensor Assembly Set Up

6.1 Power the Thermo-Hygrometer Transmitter

1. The thermo-hygrometer-transmitter (THT) comes pre-packaged inside the rain shield. Pull the

transmitter from the shield to expose the LED indicator, sensor sockets and battery compartment, as

shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3

2. Remove the battery cover of the transmitter, and insert 2 x AA batteries into the battery compartment,

observing the polarity, as shown in Figure 4. Confirm the red LED above the battery compartment turns

on for four seconds, then off. The LED will flash every 48 seconds thereafter, signifying wireless

transmission. Close the battery door.

Note: Refer to Section 9.2 for pre-treating the connectors and sockets.

Figure 4

6.2 Connect and Mount the Sensor Array (Pole Mount)

Please reference Figure 5.

1. Attach the wind cups to the wind speed shaft. Press firmly, and the cups will snap into place. No set

screw is required.

2. Connect the wind cup shaft to the rain shield.

3. Secure the wind cup shaft to the rain shield with the 30mm bolt and nut.

4. Connect the wind sensor connector to the WIND sensor socket.

5. Connect the rain sensor connecter to the RAIN sensor socket.

6. Push the transmitter into the rain shield until snug.

7. Attach the transmitter to the transmitter mounting bracket.

8. Secure the transmitter to the transmitter mounting bracket with the 19.5mm bolt and nut.

9. Attach the rain gauge to the rain gauge mounting bracket and secure with the 10mm set screw.

10. Attach the rain gauge mounting bracket to the mounting pole (not included) using two U-bolts and nuts.

The rain gauge U-Bolts are slightly larger (40mm) than the thermo-hygrometer transmitter and wind

gauge U-Bolts (38mm). Tighten the U-Bolts around the pole using the nuts with an 8mm wrench. Use

the bubble level on the rain gauge to make sure it is completely level.

11. Attach the thermo-hygrometer transmitter and wind gauge mounting bracket to the mounting pole (not

included) using two U-bolts and nuts. Tighten the U-Bolts around the pole using the nuts with an 8mm

wrench.

Note: Mount the rain gauge below the wind transmitter and wind gauge so that water does not discharge

and drop water on the connectors.

6.4.2 Initial Display Console Set Up

1. Place the sensor array 5 to 10 feet from the display console. It is best to perform this

operation prior to installing the sensor array.

2. Make sure the sensor array is already powered up and the transmitter light is flashing once

every 48 seconds.

3. Insert 3 x AA batteries into the battery compartment on the back of the display. After

inserting the batteries into the console, all of the LCD segments will light up for a few

seconds to verify all segments are operating properly.

4. The console will instantly display indoor temperature, humidity, barometer, tendency, date

and time. The wind speed, rain, and outdoor temperature and humidity will update on the

display within a few minutes. DO NOT TOUCH ANY BUTTONS until the outside

transmitter report in, otherwise the outdoor sensor search mode will be terminated. The sensor

search icon will be present:

5. When the outdoor transmitter data has been received, the console will attempt to receive the

Radio Controlled Clock (RCC) signal.

If the outdoor sensors do not update, please reference the troubleshooting guide in Section 12.

Figure 8

6.4.3 Radio Controlled Clock (RCC)

After the sensor array is received by the console, the sensor will transmit weather data for 30 seconds,

and then the sensor will begin radio controlled clock (RCC) reception. During the RCC time reception

period (maximum 10 minutes), no weather data will be transmitted to avoid interference. The sensor

search icon will remain on.

If the signal reception is not successful within 1 minute, the signal search will be cancelled and will

automatically resume every two hours until the signal is successfully captured. The regular sensor

array link will resume once RCC reception routine is finished. In some locations, RCC reception may

take a couple of days to receive the signal.

The RCC reception routine can be cancelled at any time by pressing any button. The sensor search

icon will turn off, and the console will automatically switch to the normal mode, from which all

further settings can be performed.

Once the RCC has been received and the clock has been set, the RCC icon will appear in the date

and time field.

Note: The RCC is a shortwave signal originating near Fort Collins, Colorado, and travels thousands of

miles by bouncing off the ionosphere. The signal is better at night due to solar interference during the

daytime. The farther you are from Colorado, the weaker the signal. Urban environments can also

affect the signal.

6.4.4 Sensor Operation Verification

The following steps verify proper operation of the sensors prior to installing the sensor array outside.

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. Verify the rain reading on the

display console is not reading 0.00. Each “click” represents 0.01 inches of rainfall.

2. Verify proper operating of the wind speed. Rotate the wind cups manually or with a fan.

Verify the wind speed is not reading 0.0.

3. Verify proper operation of the indoor and outdoor temperature. Verify the indoor and

outdoor temperature match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location

(about 10’ apart). The sensors should be within 4°F (2°C) (the accuracy is ± 2°F / 1°C).

Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize.

4. Verify proper operation of the indoor and outdoor humidity. Verify the indoor and

outdoor humidity match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location (about

10’ apart). The sensors should be within 8% (the accuracy is ± 4%). Allow about 30 minutes

for both sensors to stabilize.

7Weather Station Installation

7.1 Pre Installation Checkout

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.

7.2 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 1-2 years. Provide

easy access to the weather station.

2. Avoid radiant heat transfer from buildings and structures. In general, install the sensor array at

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 20’

tall, install 4 x 20’ = 80’ away. Use common sense. If the weather station is installed next to a

tall building, the wind and rain will not be accurate.

4. Wireless Range. The radio communication between receiver and transmitter in an open field

can reach a distance of up to 330 feet, providing there are no interfering obstacles such as

buildings, trees, vehicles, high voltage lines. Wireless signals will not penetrate metal

buildings.

5. Radio interference such as PCs, radios or TV sets can, in the worst case, entirely cut off radio

communication. Please take this into consideration when choosing console or mounting

locations.

6. Visit Ambient Weather Mounting Solutions for assistance and ideas for mounting your

weather station:

http://www.ambientweather.com/amwemoso.html

7.3 Best Practices for Wireless Communication

Wireless communication is susceptible to interference, distance, walls and metal barriers. We

recommend the following best practices for trouble free wireless communication.

1. Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI). Keep the console several feet away from computer

monitors and TVs.

2. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). If you have other 433 MHz devices and

communication is intermittent, try turning off these other devices for troubleshooting

purposes. You may need to relocate the transmitters or receivers to avoid intermittent

communication.

3. Line of Sight Rating. This device is rated at 300 feet line of sight (no interference, barriers or

walls) but typically you will get 100 feet maximum under most real-world installations,

which include passing through barriers or walls.

4. Metal Barriers. Radio frequency will not pass through metal barriers such as aluminum

siding. If you have metal siding, align the remote and console through a window to get a clear

line of sight.

The following is a table of reception loss vs. the transmission medium. Each “wall” or obstruction

decreases the transmission range by the factor shown below.

8.1.2.4 Set Barometric Pressure

Note: The weather station console displays two different pressures: absolute (measured) and

relative (corrected to sea-level).

To compare pressure conditions from one location to another, meteorologists correct pressure to

sea-level conditions. Because the air pressure decreases as you rise in altitude, the sea-level corrected

pressure (the pressure if you were located at sea-level) is generally higher than your measured

pressure.

Thus, your absolute pressure may read 28.62 inHg (969 mb) at an altitude of 1000 feet (305 m), but

the relative pressure is 30.00 inHg (1016 mb).

The standard sea-level pressure is 29.92 in Hg (1013 mb). This is the average sea-level pressure

around the world. Relative pressure measurements greater than 29.92 inHg (1013 mb) are

considered high pressure and relative pressure measurements less than 29.92 inHg are considered low

pressure.

To determine the relative pressure for your location, locate an official reporting station near you (the

internet is best source for real time barometer conditions, such as Weather.com or Wunderground.com),

and set your weather station to match the official reporting station.

1. Pressure Units. Press the SET key to set the pressure units. The pressure units will begin
