1. Introduction
T ank you for your purc ase of t e Solar Powered Wireless WiFi
Weat er Station. T e following user guide provides step by step
instructions for installation, operation and troubles ooting.
2. Warnings and Cautions
Warning: Any metal object may attract a lig tning strike, including
your weat er station mounting pole. Never install t e weat er station in
a storm.
Warning: Installing your weat er station in a ig location may result
in injury or deat . Perform as muc of t e initial c eck and operation on
t e ground and inside a building or ome. Only install t e weat er
station on a clear, dry day.
3. Quick Start Guide
Alt oug t e manual is compre ensive, muc of t e information
contained may be intuitive. In addition, t e manual does not flow

5
properly because t e sections are organized by components.
T e following Quick Start Guide provides only t e necessary steps to
install, operate t e weat er station, and upload to t e internet, along wit
references to t e pertinent sections.
4. Pre Installation Checkout and Site Survey
4.1 Pre Installation Checkout
Before installing your weat er station in t e permanent location, we
recommend operating t e weat er station for one week in a temporary
location wit easy access. T is will allow you to c eck out all of t e
functions, insure proper operation, and familiarize you wit t e weat er
station and calibration procedures. T is will also allow you to test t e
wireless range of t e weat er station.

4.2 Site Survey
Perform a site survey before installing t e weat er station. Consider t e
following:
1. You must clean t e rain gauge every few mont s and c ange t e
batteries every 2-3 years. Provide easy access to t e weat er
station.
2. Avoid radiant eat transfer from buildings and structures. In
general, install t e sensor array at least 5’ from any building,
structure, ground, or roof top.
3. Avoid wind and rain obstructions. T e rule of t umb is to install
t e sensor array at least four times t e distance of t e eig t of
t e tallest obstruction. For example, if t e building is 20’ tall, and
t e mounting pole is 6’ tall, install 4 x (20 – 6)’ = 56’ away.
4. Wireless Range. T e radio communication between receiver
and transmitter in an open field can reac a distance of up to
100meters, providing t ere are no interfering obstacles suc as
buildings, trees, ve icles, ig voltage lines. Wireless signals
will not penetrate metal buildings. Under most conditions, t e
maximum wireless range is 100’.
5. Radio interference suc as PCs, radios or TV sets can, in t e
worst case, entirely cut off radio communication. Please take t is
into consideration w en c oosing console or mounting locations.
Make sure your display console is at least five feet away from
any electronic device to avoid interference.

5.2.1Install U bolts and mounting pole
Installation of t e U-bolts, w ic are in turn used to mount t e sensor
package on a pole, requires installation of an included metal plate to
receive t e U-bolt ends. T e metal plate, visible in

oles t roug w ic t e ends of t e two U-Bolts will fit. T e plate itself is
inserted in a groove on t e bottom of t e unit (opposite side of solar
panel). Note t at one side of t e plate as a straig t edge (w ic goes
into t e groove), t e ot er side is bent at a 90-degree angle and as a
curved profile (w ic will end up “ ugging” t e mounting pole). Once t e
metal plate is inserted, remove nuts from t e U-Bolts and insert bot
U-bolts t roug t e respective oles of t e metal plate as s own in
Figure 8.

Loosely screw on t e nuts on t e ends of t e U-bolts. You will tig ten
t ese later during final mounting. Final assembly is s own in Figure 9.
T e plate and U-Bolts are not yet needed at t is stage but doing t is now
may elp avoid damaging wind vane and wind speed cups later on.

5.2.2Install wind vane
Pus t e wind vane onto t e s aft on t e top of t e sensor, until it can
not move furt er, as s own in figure 3.
Tig ten t e set screw, wit a P ilips screwdriver(size PH0), until t e
wind van cannot be removed from t e axle, as s own in figure 4. Make
sure t e wind vane spin freely. T e wind vane’s movement as a small
amount of friction, w ic is elpful in providing steady wind direction
measurements.

sensor are matc ing wit your real location. Permanent wind direction
error will be introduced w en t e wind direction sensor is not positioned
correctly during installation.
5.2.3 Install wind speed
Pus t e wind speed into t e s aft. as s own in figure 5.
Tig ten t e set screw wit as s own in figure 5. Make sure t e wind
speed can spin freely.
