The wireless 5-IN-1 sensor contains a self-emptying rain collector for measuring rainfall,
anemometer, and wind vane, temperature and humidity sensors. It is fully assembled and
calibrated for your easy installation. It sends data by a low power radio frequency to the display
main unit up to 150m away (line of sight).
The colourful display main unit displays all the weather data received from the 5-IN-1 sensor
outside. It remembers the data for a time range for you to monitor and analyze the weather status
for past 24 hours. It has advance features such as the HI / LO Alert alarm which will alert the user
when the set high or low weather criteria are met. The barometric pressure records are computed
to give users forthcoming weather forecast and stormy warning. Day and date stamps are also
provided to the corresponding maximum and minimum records for each weather details.
The system also analyzes the records for your convenient viewing, such as the display of rainfall
in terms of rain rate, daily, weekly and monthly records, whereas wind-speed in different levels.
Different useful readings such as Wind-chill, Heat Index, Dew-point, Comfort level are also
provided.
With Radio-controlled / Atomic clock feature built-in, the system is truly a remarkable personal
Professional Weather Station for your own backyard.

INSTALLATION
WIRELESS 5-IN-1 SENSOR
Your wireless 5-IN-1 sensor measures wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, temperature and humidity for you.
It’s fully assembled and calibrated for your easy installation.
BATTERY AND INSTALLATION
Unscrew the battery door at bottom of unit and insert the batteries
according to the +/- polarity indicated.
Screw the battery door compartment on tightly.
Note:
1. Ensure the water tight O-ring is properly aligned in place to
ensure water resistant.
2. The red LED will begin ashing every 12 seconds.
Install the wireless 5-IN-1 sensor in
an open location with no obstructions
above and around the sensor for
accurate rain and wind measurement.
Install the sensor with the smaller end
facing the North to properly orient the
wind direction vane.
Secure the mounting stand and bracket

WIND CHILL / HEAT INDEX / DEW POINT
TO VIEW WIND CHILL
Press the [ INDEX ] key repeatedly until WIND CHILL displays.
Note:
The wind chill factor is based on the combined effects of temperature and wind speed. The wind chill displayed
is calculated solely from temperature and humidity measured from the 5-IN-1 sensor.
TO VIEW HEAT INDEX
Press the [ INDEX ] key repeatedly until HEAT INDEX displays.

temperature and humidity measured from the 5-IN-1 sensor.
TO VIEW DEW POINT
Press the [ INDEX ] key repeatedly until DEW POINT displays.
Note:
The dew point is the temperature below which the water vapor in air at constant barometric pressure
condenses into liquid water at the same rate at which it evaporates. The condensed water is called dew when
it forms on a solid surface. The dew point temperature is calculated from the outdoor temperature and humidity
measured at the outdoor 5-in-1 sensor.

- When ALERT alarm is on, the area and type of alarm that triggered the alarm will be ashing and the alarm
will sound for 2 minutes.
- To silence the Alert alarm beeping, press the [ ALARM / SNOOZE ] / [ ALARM ] key, or let the beeping
alarm automatically turn off after 2 minutes.
WIRELESS SIGNAL RECEPTION
No sensor Signal searching Strong signal Weak signal Signal lost
The 5-IN-1 sensor is capable of transmitting data wirelessly over an approximate operating of 150m range (line
of sight). Occasionally, due to intermittent physical obstructions or other environmental interference, the signal
may be weaken or lost. In case that the sensor signal is lost completely, you will need to relocate the Display
main unit or the wireless 5-IN-1 sensor.
TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY
COMFORT INDICATION
The comfort indication is a pictorial indication based on indoor air temperature and humidity in an attempt to
determine comfort level.
Too cold Comfortable Too hot
Note:
- Comfort indication can vary under the same temperature, depending on the humidity.
- There is no comfort Indication when temperature is below 0°C(32°F) or over 60°C (140°F).

15
DATA CLEARING
During installation of the wireless 5-IN-1 sensor, the sensors were likely to be triggered, resulting in erroneous
rainfall and wind measurements. After the installation, user may clear out all the erroneous data from the
Display Main Unit, without needing to reset the clock and re-establish pairing. Simply press and hold the [
HISTORY ] key for 10 seconds. This will clear out any data recorded before.
POINTING 5-IN-1 SENSOR TO THE SOUTH
The outdoor 5-IN-1 sensor is calibrated to be pointing to North by default. However, in some cases, users may
wish to install the product with the arrow pointing towards the South:
1. First install the outdoor 5-IN-1 sensor with its arrow pointing to the South.
2. On the Display main unit, press and hold the [ WIND ] key for 8 seconds until the upper part (Northern
Hemisphere) of the compass lights up and blinking.
3. Use [ ] key / [ ] key to change to lower part (Southern Hemisphere).
4. Press the [ WIND ] key to conrm and exit.
Northern hemisphere Southern hemisphere
Note:
Changing from hemisphere setting will automatically switch the direction of the moon phase on the display.
MOON PHASE
In the Northern hemisphere, the moon waxes (the part of the moon we see that glows after the New Moon)
from the right. Hence the sun-lit area of the moon moves from right to left in the Northern Hemisphere, while
in the Southern Hemisphere, it moves from left to right. Below is the table which illustrate how the moon will
appear on the main unit.
