Introduction
Thank you for selecting the Honeywell remote anemometer TS805. This product is a part

display unit (TE923WD) for the Professional Weather Station TE923W.
In this package you will find:
One Anemometer (remote wind sensor/transmitter) (TS805)
Mounting Hardware with wrench tool
One User Manual
Standard Package Contents
Picture Components
Anemometer consists of:

Before you begin
•We recommend using alkaline batteries for the remote anemometer when
temperatures are above 32°F (0°C) and lithium batteries when temperatures are
below 32°F (0°C).
•Avoid using rechargeable batteries. (Rechargeable batteries cannot maintain
correct power requirements).
•Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity in the battery compartment

•During an initial setup, place the main unit close to the remote anemometer.
•After reception is established (the wind readings will appear on the main unit’s
display), position the remote anemometer and the main unit within the effective
transmission range of 100 feet (30 meters). Ideally it should be placed within the
line of sight of the main unit. Transmission range may be affected by trees,
metal structures and electronic appliances.
•The effective operating range may be influenced by the surrounding building
materials and how the receiver (main unit) and transmitter (remote anemometer)
are positioned.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the remote anemometer is accessible for cleaning and
maintenance.
Installation
The Honeywell Remote Anemometer TS805 operates at 433MHz radio frequency, so no
wire installation is required between the main unit (receiver) and the remote anemometer
(transmitter).
All data measured by the remote anemometer is transmitted to the main unit wirelessly,
with the operating range of 100 feet (30meters) in the open area.
Remote anemometer must be placed outdoors to measure wind speed and wind direction.
Note: It is critical to power up and test communication between the anemometer and the
main unit BEFORE permanently mounting it outside.
To install the remote anemometer, you must assemble it first.
Assembly
•Place the wind cups over the wind cups shaft of the anemometer arm
•Insert the wrench tool provided into the wind cups opening and tighten the small
screw inside.
•Test if the wind cups sit secure on the wind cups shaft
Battery installation
•Remove four (4) screws from the battery compartment with a small Phillips
screwdriver.
•Open the battery compartment and install 2 “AA” size alkaline batteries (not
included) matching the polarities shown.
•Replace the battery compartment door and secure the screws.
Aligning
•Point the wind direction vane to the north (use a compass or map if necessary).
•Press “SET” opening located inside battery compartment with a paper clip or
similar tool. The “SET” opening controls toggling the wind direction between
the factory preset or user set.

6
•Select the factory set mode. It will be also a default setting in the future.
•Set current wind direction as NORTH.
•Press DOWN button either on the main unit control panel or handheld remote
control. The wind speed reading (usually 0.0) will appear in the wind window if
TE923W main unit display, instead of dashes “- - -“.
Note: Repeat this procedure every time when changing the batteries.
Mounting
Mount the anemometer onto a vertical surface, using the fittings provided.
Placement tips:
•The anemometer should be mounted in an open area with a free air flow; away
from the nearby trees, buildings or other structures.
•Aim for a maximum exposure of the anemometer to the most common wind
directions in the area.
•It is suggested mounting anemometer at 33 feet (10meters) above the ground in
unobstructed area.
Operation
The wind direction is indicated in the wind window of the TE923W main unit display. It
is shown by an animated compass display. The direction angle can be displayed as
compass points (i.e. NW) or in bearings starting from north (i.e. 22.5º).
The upper left section of the wind mode can be programmed to display either a
temperature at the place of anemometer or the temperature adjusted to the wind chill
factor.
The lower left section of the wind mode indicates the average wind speed for the past 10
minutes, as well as gust, wind speed alert and gust alert information. It can also show
records of the maximum wind speed and wind gust collected during the day.
The wind speed and gust alert functions can be programmed to alert you if the wind
speed or gust exceeds a pre-configured limit. The wind speed can be displayed in km/h,
mph, m/s or knots.
Note: The wind speed alert has a 5 mph deviation and the wind gust speed alert has a 7
mph deviation. It is set to prevent the alerts from sounding all the time due to small
fluctuations close to the alert value. This means that after the wind speed reaches the alert
value, it will have to fall below the alert value plus deviation to activate the alert.

To access wind mode from the main unit press UP or DOWN until the icon on the
display starts flashing. From the handheld remote control: Press .
Configuring Wind Display
In the Wind Mode press the SET button to recall either a wind chill temperature with
wind direction in bearings, a wind chill temperature with a wind direction in compass
points, a temperature at anemometer and wind direction in compass points or a
temperature at anemometer and wind direction in bearings.
Setting Units for the Wind Speed in km/h, mph, m/s or knots
In the Wind Mode, press and hold SET to set the wind speed units in km/h, mph, m/s or
knots.
Viewing Wind Statistics
In the Wind Mode, press the MEMORY button to recall a current wind speed, a daily
maximum wind speed with “DAILY MAX” displayed, a gust speed with a “GUST”
displayed and a daily maximum gust speed with a “GUST DAILY MAX” displayed.
Resetting the Wind Statistics Memory
In the Wind Mode, press and hold MEMORY to reset all wind statistics.
Enabling or Disabling the WindAlerts
In the Wind Mode press the ALARM/CHART to recall a current wind speed, a wind
speed alert with the “ALARM HI” displayed or gust alert with the “GUST ALARM
HI” displayed.
If the alert is disabled, “OFF” will be displayed; otherwise the alert value is shown.
When a wind alert is displayed, press the UP or DOWN to activate or deactivate it.
WindAlerts programming
•In the Wind Mode, press ALARM/CHART to select the desired alarm.
•Press and hold ALARM/CHART button until alert and corresponding icon will

flash.
•Set the alert using the UP or DOWN. Press and hold either button for fast digits
advance.
•Press ALARM/CHART to confirm your selection and return to the wind alert
selection screen.
Disabling the Wind Alert
To disable wind alert press ALARM/CHART.
Maintenance
Changing Batteries
The battery status of the remote anemometer is checked every hour. If the low battery
indicator lights up, replace the batteries in the anemometer.
•When the batteries are properly installed, the remote anemometer will resume
sending signals to the main unit.
•To enforce an immediate remote signals search, press and hold DOWN button
on the main unit.
Cleaning
Check if the wind vane and wind cups can spin freely and are free from dirt, debris and
spider webs.
Troubleshooting
Q: The display shows dashes “---” for wind speed
A: The display will show “- - -” when the wireless connection with the remote
anemometer is lost for 15 minutes
Check or replace the batteries in the remote anemometer. Then press and hold DOWN
button on the main unit or handheld remote to enforce a signal search.
If this does not work, check the wireless transmission path from the remote anemometer
to the main unit and change their locations if necessary.
The following may be the cause of reception problems:
•The remote anemometer and a main unit are too far from each other.
•The signal shielding materials, such as metal surfaces, concrete walls or dense
vegetation, are in the path of transmission.
•There is interference from the wireless devices (such as cordless phones, radio
headsets and baby listening devices) and electronic appliances.
PRECAUTIONS
This product is engineered to give you years of satisfactory service if handled carefully.
Here are a few precautions:
•Do not immerse the units in water.
