Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the TE821 Weather Station. The weather station consists of
a main console unit with remote sensors which collect and transmit a wide range of weather data,
including outdoor temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction.
Main Console Unit
The main console unit features a radio-controlled atomic precision clock with alarm and weather
forecast. It measures indoor temperature and humidity, and displays weather data collected by the
remote weather sensors. It also provides indication of the indoor/outdoor temperature, pressure and
humidity trends, and celestial information such as moon phase, and sunrise/set times.
The main console unit stores around 200 weather records without a computer connection. When
linked to a computer using the USB cable and software provided, an unlimited number of weather
records can be displayed and saved onto the computer.
Remote Weather Sensors
The remote weather sensors include a thermo-hygrometer and anemometer (wind sensor) and rain
sensor. All data collected by the sensors is transmitted to the main console unit by wireless RF, with
a range up to 100 meters (open area) for thermo-hygrometer and 30 meter (open area) for
anemometer. The weather station supports a maximum of 5 thermo-hygrometers, allowing 5
channels of temperature/humidity display.

Installing your weather station
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 station.
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.
Placement tips:
- The sensor should be mounted in an area free of shadows or reections of sunlight by nearby
coverings and objects.
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 1.5V 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 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.
- Use the wall mount and ttings provided if mounting the unit on a vertical surface.
- 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 Anemometer (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 1.5V 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 mode:
1. Let the wind direction as manufacturer design. It will be as a default setting after
2. Set the current direction as NORTH.

119
Placement tips:
- Check that wind can travel freely around the anemometer and is not distorted by nearby buildings,
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
unobstructed location.
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 1.5V batteries according to the polarities shown.
3. Reattach the latch.
4. You are highly recommended to connect the AC/DC adaptor. For the feathure of the automatic
backlight control function, the AC/DC adaptor must be used.
5. If placing the console unit on a table or horizontal surface, fold out the table stand and adjust to
the optimal viewing angle.
6. 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 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 station.
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:
- Direct sunlight and surfaces which radiate and emit heat.
- Near heating and ventilation devices, such as heating ducts or air conditioners.
- Areas with interference from wireless devices (such as cordless phones, radio headsets, baby
listening devices) and electronic appliances.
Starting up the Main Console Unit
Once the console unit is properly powered, the display will start showing some data and weather
parameters. Wait for a few minutes for the console to nish self-calibration and for the sensor
readings 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.

Temperature and Humidity Mode
The weather station 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.
A temperature 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.
Accessing Temperature and Humidity Mode
From the main console unit: Press UP or DOWN until the IN icon on the upper right of the
display starts ashing.
Viewing Temperature and Humidity Display for each Channel
For Static Display:
In Temperature and Humidity Mode, each press of CHANNEL rotates display between different
channels.
For Cycling Display:
To enable automatic rotating between different channel displays, press and hold CHANNEL, until
the icon is displayed. Each valid channel will now be alternately displayed for 5s.
Rotating Between Temperature and Dew Point Display
In Temperature and Humidity Mode, each press of SET rotates temperature display between:
-Temperature and Relative Humidity
-Dew Point Temperature and Relative Humidity
Setting Units for Temperature Display (ºC or ºF)
In Temperature and Humidity Mode, press and hold SET to convert units between degrees Celsius
ºC and degrees Fahrenheit ºF.
Activating/Deactivating the Temperature Alerts
1. In Temperature and Humidity Mode, each press of ALARM/CHART rotates channel
temperature display between:
- Current Temperature for corresponding channel
- Upper Temperature Alert (displays OFF if deactivated): icon displayed
- Lower Temperature Alert (displays OFF if deactivated): icon displayed
