Setup Preparation
Welcome!
Here are some items needed to setup your station (not included):
1. Phillips head screwdriver for assembly.
2. Fresh Batteries: 5 (ve) AA alkaline or lithium batteries for
the sensors.
3 (three) AAA alkaline batteries for the
station (optional).
For best results:
•Remove weather station and sensors from the package and place
together on a table or bench, within easy reach.
•Place batteries and screwdriver within reach of setup location.
•Keep sensors and weather station 5-10 feet apart for the rst
15 minutes after installing batteries.
•Each sensor reads independently to the weather station. Before
permanently mounting sensors, place them in desired location for
1 hour to be sure there is a steady reading to the weather station.
•Maximum transmission range is 330 ft. (100 m) open air.
•If sensor connection is lost, search for the sensors.
Search for Temperature/Humidity Sensor
• Hold the TEMP button for 3 seconds to search for the sensor.
• The tower icon will ash for 3 minutes while searching.
Search for Multi-sensor
• Hold the WIND button for two seconds.
• The tower icon will ash for 3 minutes while searching.

Initial Setup and Assembly
3. Insert pole into the bottom of sensor and secure with two screws.
Note: Your own mounting pole (1.2 inches, 3.1 cm, not included)
may be inserted into the sensor, instead of using the
mounting bracket and pole included.

Note: Two hours after initial setup, the temperature/humidity
sensor will search for the Atomic time signal.
Note: At temperatures below 14°F (-10°C) the sensor display will
turn off to protect the LCD. Sensor will still transmit data.

1. Insert the 5.0 volt AC adapter into the back of the weather station.
2. Insert 3 AAA batteries into the weather station (optional).
3. Keep both sensors and the weather station together for 15 minutes
to lock in the sensor signals.
4. (Optional)-Spin the wind cups to simulate wind speed. Take the
Multi-sensor to the sink and slowly drip water into the rain
bucket to simulate rain.
5. After 15 minutes, follow the mounting instructions for proper
placement of each sensor.
Weather Station
Note: Your weather station should have readings in all sections.
Wind and Rain will show 0’s (connected) until wind or rain
occur or are simulated.

Mounting Instructions
Option 1:
•Install one mounting screw into a
wall leaving some extended.
•Place the transmitter onto the screw,
gently pull the transmitter down to
lock the screw into place.
Option 2:
•Insert the mounting screw through
the front of the transmitter and into
the wall.
•Tighten the screw to snug (do not
over tighten).
•Mount the temperature/humidity sensor on
a north-facing wall or in any well shaded
location. Sun will make it read high.
•Under an eave or deck rail is preferred.
•Be sure the outdoor sensor is mounted
vertically to drain moisture.
•Avoid mounting under a metal roof and use
stainless steel screws for best WWVB
reception and RF transmission.
•The maximum wireless transmission
range to the weather station is over
330 feet (100 meters) in open air, not
including walls or oors.
TX232TH-LCD Temperature/Humidity Sensor
•For most accurate wind speed and rainfall
readings, mount the Multi-sensor in an
open area clear for 50 feet in all directions.
•Mount with the solar panel facing south so
the wind direction is correct. See N, S, E W,
embossed on the top of the sensor.
•Use the bubble level on the top of the
sensor to ensure it is level, for accurate
rainfall readings.

•The maximum wireless transmission range to the station is over 330
feet (100 meters) in open air, not including walls or trees.
•Mount sensor vertically.
•Cups should be on the top of the sensor.
•Attach to mounting surface with screws through the mounting
bracket.
•The sensor can be mounted from the bottom or from the side.

Alternatively:
•Insert your own mounting pole sensor.
•Tighten screws
•Mounting bracket would not be used.
