Introduction
Your Aspect Wi-Fi Solar Pro gathers and
uploads accurate and detailed weather data to
Weather Underground. It offers professional weather
observers or serious weather enthusiasts robust
performance. You will get your own local forecast,
high/lows, totals and averages for virtually all weather
variables without using a desktop computer.
Your Solar Pro Outdoor Sensor measures
outdoor temperature, humidity, wind, rain, UV and
light, continually transmitting weather data to the
Main Console. Both your Outdoor Sensor and
your Wireless Hygro-Thermo Indoor Sensor are
fully assembled and calibrated for easy installation.
They send data via a low power RF signal to the
Main Console from up to 150m away (line of sight).
Within your Main Console, high-speed processors
are embedded to analyse your weather data at real-
time, and publish it to Weather Underground via
your home Wi-Fi network and internet connection
Your Main Console can also synchronise with
internet time servers to show high precision time and
weather data date/time stamp. The colour LCD display
shows informative weather readings with advanced
features, such as high/low alert alarm, different
weather index, and max/min records. With calibration,
sunrise/sunset and moon phase features, this system
is a great weather station for your backyard.
This instruction manual contains useful information
on the proper use and care of this product. Please
read through to fully understand and enjoy its
features, and keep it handy for future use.
