About this manual
Thank you on selecting this Professional WI-FI Weather Station! This
device provides accurate weather readings and is Wi-Fi capable to
stream live data from your weather station to the internet so that users
can run remote monitoring of weather condition.
This manual will guide you step-by-step through setting up your device.
Use this manual to become familiar with your professional weather
station and save it for future reference.
Glossary of Common Terms
NIST
This is a internet based time service, display time is updated every day
to keep time accurate on display.
LCD
“LCD” is an acronym for ”Liquid Crystal Display”. This is a common
type of display screen used in televisions, computers, watches, and
digital clocks.
BAROMETER & BAROMETRIC PRESSURE
A barometer is a device that measures the pressure of the air pushing
on it—this measurement is called the barometric pressure. We don’t
actually feel the barometric pressure because the air pressure is
pushing equally in every direction.

3
RELATIVE AIR PRESSURE
Relative air pressure is the same as the barometric pressure. The
calculation of relative air pressure is a combination of the absolute air
pressure and the altitude.
ABSOLUTE AIR PRESSURE
Absolute air pressure is the actual air pressure on the barometer
without regard to altitude.
INCHES OF MERCURY (inHg)
Inches of Mercury is the common unit of measurement for air pressure
in the United States.
HECTOPASCALS (hPa)
Hectopascals are the common units of measurement for air pressure in
the International System (SI) of measurement. The hectopascal holds
the same value

User manual
Note:
A DC adaptor is included. For switching type adapter, it generates
interference and console should be placed at least 0.5m away from
display to get best RF reception.

An added feature of the Weather Station is that all the weather data and
programs can be viewed and set on a PC Software via Wi-Fi
connection.

Set up Guide
Note:
Before placing and installing all components of the weather station at
their final destination, please set up the display console(receiver) and
outdoor sensor(transmitter) with all parts being nearby for testing the
correct function.
Power up sequence must be performed in the order shown in this

6
section (insert batteries in the Display Console firstly, Outdoor Sensor
secondly).
Attention:
⚫Do not mix old and new batteries
⚫Do not use Rechargeable batteries.
⚫Use Lithium batteries for sensor array when outdoor temperature is
lower than 0 degrees Celsius
⚫Ensure batteries are installed correctly with their polarity +/-

1.1. Install U-bolts and metal plate
Installation of the U-bolts, which are in turn used to mount the sensor
package on a pole, requires installation of an included metal plate to
receive the U-bolt ends. The metal plate, visible in Figure on the
right side, has four holes through which the ends of the two U-Bolts
will fit. The plate itself is inserted in a groove on the bottom of the
unit (opposite side of solar panel). Note that one side of the plate has
a straight edge (which goes into the groove), the other side is bent at
a 90-degree angle and has a curved profile (which will end up
“hugging” the mounting pole). Once the metal plate is inserted,
remove nuts from the U-Bolts and insert both U-bolts through the
respective holes of the metal plate as shown in Figure
Figure 1: U-Bolt installation
Loosely screw on the nuts on the ends of the U-bolts. You will tighten
these later during final mounting. Final assembly is shown in Figure
2.

Figure 2: U-Bolts and nuts installed
The plate and U-Bolts are not yet needed at this stage but doing this
now may help avoid damaging wind vane and wind speed cups later
on. Handling of the sensor package with wind vane and speed cups
installed to install these bolts is more difficult and more likely to lead
to damage.
1.2.Install wind vane
Push the wind vane into the shaft. as shown in figure 3.
Tighten the set screw with as shown in figure 4. Wind vane moves
not as free as wind speed sensor. This damp effect is helpful in
keeping wind direction measurement steady.
Figure 3 Figure 4
There are four alphabet letter of "N", "E", "S" and "W" around the

9
wind direction, representing for the direction of North, East, South
and West. Wind direction sensor has to be adjusted so that the
directions on the sensor are matching with your real location.
Permanent wind direction error will be introduced when the wind
direction sensor is not positioned correctly during installation.
1.3. Install wind speed
Push the wind cup into the shaft. as shown in figure 5.
Tighten the set screw with as shown in figure 6. Make sure the wind
speed spin freely.
Figure 5 Figure 6
1.4. Install Batteries
Insert 2XAA batteries in the battery compartment. The LED indicator
on the back of the transmitter will turn on for four seconds and
normally flash once every 16 seconds (the sensor transmission
update period).

10
Figure 7 Figure 8
Note: If no LED light up or is lighted permanently, make sure the
battery is inserted the correct way or a proper reset is happened. Do
not install the batteries backwards. You can permanently damage
the outdoor sensor
Note: We recommend lithium batteries for cold weather climates, but
alkaline batteries are sufficient for most climates. Rechargeable
batteries should never be used at all because they have lower voltages.
1.5. Mount outdoor sensor
Reference 9&10. The mounting assembly includes two U-Bolts and a
bracket that tightens around a 1 to 2” diameter pole (included) using the
four U-Bolt nuts.
Use the bubble level beside the rain sensor as a guide to verify that
sensors are level.
1.6 Reset Button and Transmitter LED
In the event the sensor array is not transmitting, reset the sensor
array.
