Installing your Weather Center
Setting up the Remote Weather Sensors
Beforestartingupthemainconsoleunit,setupalltheremotesensorsrst.
When placing the sensors, make sure that they are within receiving range of the console unit.
Ideally, they should be within the line of sight of the console unit. Transmission range may be
affected by trees, metal structures and electronic appliances.Test reception before permanently
mounting your weather center.
Also make sure that the sensors are easily accessible for cleaning and maintenance.
The remote sensors should be cleaned on a weekly basis, since dirt and debris will affect sensor
accuracy.
Setting up the Thermo-Hygro Sensor(s)
1. Open the latch at the base of the thermo-hygro sensor.
2. Set the channel with a slide switch.
3. Insert two 2 x UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5 V batteries.
4. Use a pin to press the “RESET” key which is in the battery compartment of thermo-hygro
 sensorsafterLEDash.
5.Replace the latch and mount the unit at desired location.
Placement Tips:
- The thermo-hygro sensor should be in an area with free air circulation and sheltered from direct
sunlight and other extreme weather conditions. Place the unit in a shaded area, such as under a
roof.
- Avoid placing the sensor near sources of heat such as chimneys.
- Avoid any areas which collect and radiate heat in the sun, such as metal, brick or concrete
structures, paving, patios and decks.
- Ideally, place the sensor above natural surfaces such as a grassy lawn.
- The international standard height for measurements of air temperature is at 1.25m (4 ft) above
ground level.
Setting up the Rain Sensor
1.Unlock the funnel-shaped top of the rain sensor by turning both knobs on the sides of the rain
sensor in an anti-clockwise direction.
2. Lift the top off the base and insert two 2 x UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5 V batteries into the battery
holder.
3. Replace the lid and secure into place by turning the knobs clockwise.
4. Place the rain sensor in a location such that precipitation can fall directly into the sensor, ideally
2-3 ft above the ground.
It may be secured into place by using the four screws provided.
5. The sensor must be accurately leveled for optimum performance. To check if the sensor is
leveled, remove the lid and check if the ball bearing inside is at the midpoint of the leveler.
Additionally, a bubble level or carpenter’s level may be used.
6.Attach the protective screen onto the top of the lid. The screen will prevent any debris entering
the sensor.

41
Placement Tips:
- The rain sensor should be placed in an open area away from walls, fences, trees and other
 coveringswhichmayeitherreducetheamountofrainfallintothesensor,deecttheentryofwind-
blown rain, or create extra precipitation runoff. Trees and rooftops may also be sources of pollen
and debris.
- Toavoidrainshadoweffects,placethesensoratahorizontaldistancecorrespondingtotwotofour
times the height of any nearby obstruction.
-Itisimportantthatrainexcesscanowfreelyawayfromthesensor.Makesurethatwaterdoesnot
collect at the base of the unit.
- The rainfall measurement mechanism utilizes a magnet, hence do not place any magnetic objects
around the proximity of the sensor.
Setting up theAnemometer (Wind Sensor)
1.Assemble the wind cups and wind vane to the anemometer arm
2.Attach the assembled anemometer to the base.
3.Insert two 2 x UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5 V batteries into the battery holder in the base.
4.Mounttheanemometerontoaverticalsurface,usingthettingsprovided.
5.Toallowthemainconsoleunittondthedirectionwhichthewindvaneisoriented,the
following procedures are required:
i. Insert the batteries
ii. Point the wind vane towards the north. Use a compass or map if necessary.
iii. Use a pin to press the “SET” key which is in the battery compartment of the wind sensor.
Note:Above procedure must be repeated for changing battery.
The “SET” will toggle the direction between two modes:
1.Let the wind direction as manufacturer has designed. It will be as a default setting after
changing the batteries.
2.Set the current direction as NORTH.
Placement Tips:
- Checkthatwindcantravelfreelyaroundtheanemometerandisnotdistortedbynearbybuildings,
trees or other structures.
- For better results, place the anemometer at least 3m above local structures and obstacles. The
 groundcreatesafrictionaleffecttowindowandwillattenuatereadings.
- Aim for maximum exposure of the anemometer to the commonest wind directions in your area.
- Theofcialmountinglocationforanemometersis10m(33ft)abovegroundlevelinaclear 

parameters.Waitforafewminutesfortheconsoletonishself-calibrationandforthesensorread-
ings to show up.
If “---” is still displayed for the sensor reading(s), check the wireless transmission path and the bat-
teries for the corresponding sensor.
Setting up the Main Console Unit
1. Open the latch at the back of the main console unit.
2. Insert 4 x UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5 V batteries according to the polarities shown.
3. Reattach the latch.
4. If placing the console unit on a table or horizontal surface, fold out the table stand and adjust to
the optimal viewing angle.
5.If mounting the console unit on a wall or vertical surface, fold the table stand back into the unit
 andusethettingprovided.
Placement Tips:
Make sure that the console unit is within the receiving range of all remote sensors. Ideally
sensors should be within the line of sight of the console unit. Transmission range may be affected by
trees, metal structures and electronic appliances. Test reception before permanently mounting your
weather center.
The console unit measures indoor temperature, humidity, pressure and receives signals from all
remote sensors and radio-clock broadcasts.Avoid placing the console unit in the following areas:

Temperature and Humidity Mode
The weather center supports up to 5 remote thermo-hygro sensors, each sensor corresponding to a
separate channel for the temperature and relative humidity display. The temperature may be shown
in degrees Celsius ºC or degrees Fahrenheit ºF. The trend (rising, steady or falling) of all values is
also indicated on the display.
The main console unit uses the indoor temperature and humidity data to compute a comfort level
rating of Wet, Comfort or Dry.
Atemperature alert function is available for each channel. It can be programmed to sound if the
channeltemperatureexceedsorfallsbelowthepre-conguredupperandlowerlimits.
Note: The temperature alerts have a 0.5 ºC hysteresis to prevent the alerts from sounding constantly
duetosmalluctuationsnearthealertvalue.Thismeansthatafterthetemperaturereachesthealert
value, it will have to fall below the alert value plus the hysteresis to deactivate the alert.
