Installation
The Honeywell Professional Weather Station TE923W operates at 433MHz radio frequency, so no
wire installation is required between the main unit (receiver) and the remote weather sensors
(transmitters).
The remote weather sensors include a thermo-hygrometer (temperature and humidity) sensor, UV
(ultraviolet) sensor, anemometer (wind sensor) and a rain gauge (rain sensor). All data measured
by these remote sensors is transmitted to the main unit wirelessly, with the operating range in the
open area from 100 feet (30 meters) for anemometer and rain gauge; and up to 328 feet (100
meters) for thermo-hygrometer and UV sensors.
Remote UV sensor, anemometer and a rain gauge must be placed outdoors to measure weather
elements.
Remote thermo-hygrometer can be placed indoors or outdoors, depending on the area where the
temperature and humidity are intended to be measured. If you intend measuring outdoor
temperature and humidity, place the remote sensor outdoors.
NOTE: It is critical to assemble and power up all of the remote weather sensors BEFORE setting
up the main unit.
NOTE: It is critical to power up and test communication between all of the weather sensors and the
main unit BEFORE permanently mounting them outside.

Before you begin
•We recommend using alkaline batteries for the remote weather sensors and the main
unit when temperatures are above 32°F (0°C). We recommend using lithium batteries for
the remote weather sensors when temperatures are below 32°F (0°C).
•Avoid using rechargeable batteries. (Rechargeable batteries cannot maintain correct
power requirements).
•ALWAYS install batteries in the remote weather sensors before the main unit.
•Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity in the battery compartment
•Remove protective plastic screen from LCD display (if any).
•During an initial setup, place the main unit close to the remote weather sensors.
•After reception is established (all of the remote readings will appear on the main unit’s
display), position the remote sensors and the main unit within the effective transmission
range of up to 328 feet (100 meters). Ideally they should be placed within the line of sight
of the main unit. See placement tips in the user manual for each remote weather sensor
separately.
•Transmission range may be affected by trees, metal structures and electronic appliances.
•The main unit must be placed indoors.
•The effective operating range may be influenced by the surrounding building materials
and how the receiver (main unit) and transmitters (weather sensors) are positioned.
•Place the remote weather sensors so that they face the main unit (receiver), minimizing
obstructions such as doors, walls, and furniture.
Note: When the temperature falls below freezing, the batteries in the outdoor remote
weather sensors may have reduced voltage supply and a shorter effective range. We
recommend using lithium batteries at temperatures of 32°F (0°C) and below.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the remote weather sensors are easily accessible for cleaning and
maintenance.
We recommend cleaning the remote weather sensors periodically, as the dirt and debris
may affect sensors accuracy.

screwdriver
•Insert two 2 “AA” size 1.5V batteries (not included) matching the polarities shown in
the battery compartment.
•Replace the battery compartment door and secure the screw
•Screw the UV sensor unit lid back
Mounting
There are three different options available for mounting the UV sensor: ground stand, stake and
wall mount.
Ground:
•Insert the U-shaped sensor holder round end into the circular ground stand opening,
matching 2 round holes in the opening
•Secure the sensor in a location with a maximum sun exposure throughout the day.
Stake:
•Snap the sharp stake end onto the metal bar and secure with the screws provided.
•Insert the other end of the metal bar into the U-shaped sensor holder and secure with the
screws provided.
•Secure the sensor in a location with a maximum sun exposure throughout the day.
Wall:
•Insert the wall mounting end into the metal bar and secure with the screws provided.
•Snap the other end of the metal bar on to the U-shaped sensor holder and secure with
the screws provided.
•Secure the sensor in a location with a maximum sun exposure throughout the day.

Placement tips:
The UV sensor should be mounted in the area free of sunlight shadows or reflections from the
nearby objects.

Battery installation
•Remove the screws from the battery compartment with a small Phillips screwdriver.
•Set the channel 1 through 5. The switch is located in the battery compartment. Channel 1
is typically selected if only one remote sensor is being used.
•Install 2 “AA” size alkaline batteries (not included) matching the polarities shown in the
battery compartment.

10
•Replace the battery compartment door and secure the screws.
•Secure the thermo-hygrometer remote sensor in the desired location.

the wall in vertical position
•Use the wall mount hardware and screws provided when mounting the
thermo-hygrometer sensor on the wall
Placement
•The remote thermo-hygrometer sensor should be placed in the area with a free air
circulation and sheltered from the direct sunlight and an extreme weather conditions.
•Ideally, place the thermo-hygrometer sensor above the natural surfaces (such as a
grassy lawn).
•Avoid placing the thermo-hygrometer sensor near sources of heat such as chimneys and
heating elements.
•Avoid any areas collecting and radiating a heat from the sun, such as metal, brick or
concrete structures, paving, patios and decks.
•The international standard for the valid air temperature measurements is 4 feet
(1.25meters) above the ground.
Operation
Immediately after batteries are correctly installed, the remote sensor will start transmitting a
temperature and humidity data to the main unit.
Note: Every time after replacing batteries in the sensor, press and old DOWN arrow button
for 3-4 seconds on the main unit’s control panel or hand held remote control.
